Lucy Is "Out of the Hat"

This week the Heart 2 Heart Challenge is a Photo Inspiration Challenge. You can see it HERE. And here is the inspiration photo:

I chose to show the colors in the new Lucy paper packet--the pretty pinks and greens--on my two-page layout about our grandgirl Ella, using these CTMH products:

 "Lucy" paper packet, Kraft cardstock, Complements Glittery Rub Ons, Blush Ribbon, Sparkles, Pull-out tag (for hidden journaling), and Color Ready Alphabet

Page Design: "Out of the Hat" from Magic by Jeanette Lynton

These papers and rub ons are so right for princess Ella's pages!

Are you feeling Spring where you are? The 70-80 degrees lately make me want to wash windows, find the capris and flip flops to wear, and plan a beach vacation!

Thanks for stopping by ... have fun with YOUR Lucy goodies!

And go see all the great entries in this H2H challenge too!

Lucy CAS Card

Clean And Simple!

I used:
CTMH Lucy Papers, sheer sweet leaf ribbon, Complements Glitter Rub Ons, Mini Sparkles, Happy Birthday stamp, Sweet Leaf and Blush inks

Other: M-S butterfly punch, Verve Scripture stamp

I like to make the inside of the card pretty too -- it's always a nice surprise!

Blog Award!

Have you heard that saying, "Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans"?


That's my excuse/reason for not sharing this until now ... a ton of stuff has been overwhelming me. I've missed paper crafting, photographing, and blogging. I've missed participating in challenges and crops. But with the Lord's help, we're finding joys in each day and He's carry us through it all. What would we do without Him?!


I'm finally getting some time to thank Marie Isom--Marie with a :) -- and Gina Brandstetter for giving me this blog award last Fall.  


Be sure to visit Gina's creative paper crafting blog here ... Gina has the prettiest "CREATE" banner on her header right now!
