It's Challenge time …

Berry71Bleu + Once Upon A Sketch

[This week, Berry71Bleu is the sponsor at the Once Upon A Sketch Challenge]

Journaling Criteria/Theme

All About Me!

The focus of your journaling and the theme of your layout has to be based on YOU and something/s that you are really good at. Don't be shy! We are all good at something as small or as big as it might be.

Ideas for journaling: being a good mum, cooking, talking, understanding people, organizing, cleaning, gardening, studying, computers, fashion, exercising, scrapbooking, good at my job, moths, languages, writing , drawing, painting, photography, running, craft, sewing. Maybe you can talk about an aspect of your personality...your sensitivity, your 6th sense, your patience, your strength or bravery, your ability to stay positive.

Remember that you are allowed to also create a card or altered project based on this sketch and theme and instead of the journaling criteria you need to use a quote.

You MUST combine our journaling criteria with this sketch...

Tag iNspiration … Ready for pick-up, Mr. Postman

morning … morning … another tag inspiration reveal from Berry Bleu. Of course, it is all about Christmas … and Marivic just made another beautiful tag to add in any of your projects. I have something to be mailed and Mr Postman is ready to pick it up.

I used the postage diecut from Accucut
Applied white Gesso at the edges of the chipboard

Added Christmas embellishments from Prima.

Dusty Attic lamp post chipboard to accent the background
colored it with red and just a dash of white gesso to give a shabby look
attached the 'Merry Christmas' word then finally stamped the postage stamp

voila!

So, where are you Mr. Postman?

by the way, have you checked on our December Challenge?

Tag Inspiration … Festive December

Time flies so fast

and

it is already my "favorite" month of the year …

Festive December …

And to start the first day of month, here is another layout inspiration

using the tag from Berry 71 Bleu.

I just need to say it once again how much I adore the details of all tags.

Easy and amazing to use as additional embellishments on any projects.

~ the Tag ~

~ I created layers of patterned papers and reinforced few of it with a chipboard to have a 3-D effect ~

~ I meticulously put altogether the elements ~

~ I added glittered poinsettias and yummy cherries to accent the photo image and tag ~

~ the Layout ~

Amazing November …

It is just getting busier everyday –

and for this month I used the cupcake theme tag from Berry 71 Bleu.

I just love how the details were put together in this tag.

I can put few things and can already create an amazing project.

I have 2 interpretations on this project – a layout and a menu card.

Let's have the layout and next posting will be the menu card …

~ vanilla & chocolate tag ~

~ I used the Webster's Pages Let's Celebrate Collection ~

~ I added few elements to have a color contrast and created a 3-D on the cupcake ~
