Yep, I have been busy because I have more stuff to share!! First off, a LO I did for fun...no sketch, no assignment, no challenge...been a while!! Still playing around with Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe. I really love that line, the colors, the patterns, everything about it. It was perfect for a LO of a pic of me as a toddler...appropriately called "I Too Was Sweet Once". LOL...it's true, believe it or not!! Not anymore, but I swear I was, once upon a time :)

To get the border, I took an 8"x8" sheet and placed it in the center of my 12"x12" sheet to use as a guide and roughly drew a border, and then hand drew the loops and then cut out.

For the horse, I adhered the chipboard carousel horse to black cardstock, and then peeled off the chipboard horse, leaving a layer still on the cardstock. I then trimmed, adhered to the page, and embellished with sticker and more chipboard :) I'm kind of happy I still have the carousel horse to use on a different LO - great way to make your embellies stretch!

Next up, I have a Harmonie LO that I did for their April challenge, which is now up on the Blog HERE. The challenge was to make a LO where all the elements are grouped together in a sort of cluster, in just one place on the LO. I'll admit this was a tough one for me since I like to have my stuff spread out! I used the new line "Fable De La Fontaine" and a little bit of the new line "Rococco". I love how the "Fable" line can be used for all seasons. This is a summer LO and last LO I shared using it was a fall LO. So flexible! This is DD in the pool...yep, still working through pics of our Dominican vacation from 1 year ago!

And last but not least, I decided to play along with Bo Bunny's card sketch challenge up on their blog HERE. I had the tiniest scraps left of this line so I figured a small card would be perfect. Let me tell you, I barely made it! But I do like using up scraps :)
