A quick card for The Shabby Tea Room

Hi all,and a happy relaxing weekend to you! Don't you just love Fridays?...

I looked around the net to find a card sketch or something else that would be quick to do. 

I found this lovely inspiration photo at The Shabby Tea Room. 

The challenge was to create a card or project inspired by the COLORS in the photo and INCLUDE A ROSE!

This is my card. It was so quick to do. I sewed a white panel to the center of my striped base.

I added a Prima journaling spot and a small doily. 

I layered the flowers and leaves on top of that and added some buttons.

The small banner was cut from a bottom strip fom a patterned paper and attatched with some pink twine. 

Some letter stickers from My Little Shoebox spell out the word Grattis/Congratulations

to finish it all off.

You've still got two more days to finish this challenge. You can never have to many cute cards!

Thanks for dropping by...!

My layout for the Movie Madness crop at "My Scrapbook Nook" using "Bo Bunny" "Country Garden".

So,..How many of you who are in an especially creative mood today due to this weekend being the celebration of all things scrapbook??

National Scrapbooking Day is celebrated in the US on the first Saturday in May but because we love this craft so much we try to make the enjoyment last a little longer!

I told you yesterday about the über-FUN crop we have going on at My Scrapbook Nook. 

The good news is it will not be over until midnight tomorrow, Monday (US time).

I think by now the design team has posted  16 different challenges and each one earns you points in the grand competition. And there are still more challenges to come!!!

The total winner will get a three months subscription to the 'My Scrapbook Nook' kit. 

 This is my layout:

Together with Carol I hosted this challenge :

May Movie Madness Challenge #12: Paying Homage

 If you follow the link you will see the gorgeous layouts of Carol and of Choup72 who we both lifted.

 And you can read about all the different challenges.

  

I stayed pretty true to the original layout. I switched Choup72's embellishments for some more dimensional ones,- the kind I would normally use. I think the best way to do a lift is to try and make it your own and that's what I did here.

 I just cut loose a part of the butterfly and lifted it to overlap my photo. 

It is a very simple trick if you want to add some depth.

These letter stickers are some of my most favourite ones. They are textile ones by Prima.

The beautiful chipboard frame is from Imaginarium Designs.

Member scraplift challenge at "My Scrapbook Nook" and for WW1

For the fun scraplift challenge over at the"Nook" I got to lift the lovely Lilith Eckles.
The resemblance may not be striking to you immediately, but I absolutely took a lot of inspiration from her lo!

Here is what I did:

And this is the original page by Lilith.
I browsed her gallery and found several pages that I loved but finally decided on this one.

 

I lifted the doilies, although I added some more,

 I lifted the diagonal orientation and the placement of the title. 

I also used two photos like Lilith did.I used buttons instead of butterflies.

Instead of butterfly wings I added a pair of "angelwings". 

Instead of text print paper I used musical print.

 

I also used the current challenge at WW1  challenege to make this.

You are to use white + grey + + tags

A couple of more closeups:

There will be a fun crop at My Scrapbook Nook this week end because its national Scrapbook Day!  Over in the forum at "My Scrapbook Nook" you can follow the detaila as they are revealed.

I will keep you posted here as well!
