Don't Monkey Around with a Home Run! - Pretty Paper Party


Wow! Some more layouts! I'm so stinkin' proud of myself!! This is three layouts now that I have made in the past few days!! I love it! 

I'm currently taking Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party Class and loving it. I am behind on the prompts, by two, but that is okay. I'm taking my time and enjoying myself. These layouts I made for the second prompt which was about using all patterned papers on your layouts. I must admit, this is harder than it looks. I do love using patterned papers already for backgrounds, so that was easy... it was a little harder using all patterned papers for the rest. However, I made it work! 


I used one of my Lucky Girl Crafts kits to make this layout. It had plenty of coordinating patterned papers so I didn't have to choose my own. I'm a little nervous about that as I have worked with more kits than anything in the past. I can do it though! I have faith!! 


This second layout was the first one I did, and I realized that, oops, I used plain cardstock for the photo mats. Oh well... I'm still counting this layout! 


I love my little flower in between the two photos of  Renny!! The papers are Jenni Bowlin papers I got from Crafty Steals. That was a great steal!!! 


 In other news Renny is feeling better tonight. She slept most of the day and after her medicine kicked in she was ready to do stuff. However, that did wear off and she fell asleep right away after stories. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she doesn't have a fever in the morning. There is only a half day of school tomorrow so hopefully all will be fine. :) 

What projects have you been creating??

Lovely los! Yes, I work with a lot of kits so I think I'll have to have a go at choosing colours myself. Loved Shimelle's video....don't think I can be so brave though! Thanks for the comment on my blog! x

Great LOs...I really love that first one. I find it virtually impossible not to use any plain cardstock!!
Hope your little one is on the mend.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your layouts are fabulous! I like the colors & the banner on the home run one, and that flower on the other one is the perfect embellishment.

Lovely layouts - they are bright and colourful without being 'in your face' and the bunting is cute on the first one.
