Hambly's Monthly Sketch

Once again, Hambly is offering a really fun sketch on their blog: http://hamblyscreenprints.typepad.com/screen_prints_blog/2012/03/march-sketch.html
Here is the sketch:

I used a picture of my very best friend and I last summer in Cannes. We see each other so rarely, it's  a real shame but we enjoy every minute spent together.
Even if you know French, the title wouldn't make much sense: there are only 2 "ninettes" in the world: the two of us... "les ninettes qui ninent" cannot be translated because these words don't exist in French! We made it up.

But you can tell this is about FRIENDSHIP...

Here is my page and some details:

I really really really really....

Yes, I do really really really really like this beach... and am having fun with some of my Smash tape!
I created my own die cut paper by using a set of Spellbinders die and running them a few at a time through my Sizzix for the whole length of paper. The advantage is that I get a die cut large piece of paper, but I also get to keep the punched out pieces that I've already used on another page (probably next post). I used Core-dinations paper so that I could sand it as well.
Embellies are by MME, Studio Calico, Prima (flowers) and others... tags by Elle's

This was really fun to make and I hope you enjoy the final result:

How Sweet It Is to Be Loved by You

When my mom saw this picture, she asked me: "how long ago was this picture taken? you look so young!".
Hmmmm ok, mom, thanks but it was taken last summer.
Not sure how to interpret this :)

Anyhoodle... I used MME's papers and embellies, Ohlala Designs stamps and October Afternoon mini alpha stickers:

On Top of the World - Color Challenge for Crate

Here is Crate's March Color Challenge: http://crate.typepad.com/cratepaper/2012/03/march-crate-color-challenge.html
wow... talk about a challenge! I don't use these colors much, let alone together...

I used paper from one of my all time favorite collections: Prudence.
Cut outs are from the Lillian collection.
Green cardstock by Core'dinations and voila!


This picture was taken after a morning run - yes, I do feel on top of the world after a good run. Nothing else provides this feeling!
