I had a lot of fun with this month’s inspiration! thank you!
Project #69 is a scrapbooking layout featuring a picture of my husband and me visiting Catalina Island. In the photo, we’re in Two Harbors at Buffalo Campground.
This layout includes stamped imagery from the “Take Pride” set, textured stenciled stripes made using the horizontal stripes stencil, and patterned paper from the “Celebrate” collection.
It’s snowing and gloomy at my place right now, so my pics of this layout are not stellar — I plan to re-take them when I can get better lighting. I LOVE how this layout turned out and am so happy to add it to my scrapbook; thank you so much for hosting this challenge and motivating me to make this project!
You asked us to comment and share a couple details about our projects, or to mention some challenges we’d like to see in coming months. re project #66: I used a couple of different Pinkfresh patterned papers, some Pinkfresh birthday-themed stamps and some old-school scalloped scissors to create a pretty birthday card with a scalloped oval frame.
re challenges I’d like to see in the coming months, that’s a great question. I LOVED this challenge theme! Maybe another one along these lines, where people could incorporate a certain shape, like a star, teardrop, heart or triangle…or Maybe a sketch challenge?
Thanks so much for hosting this challenge. I really appreciate having the bit of extra motivation to add to my card stash.
Thank you for another great challenge. This was perfect to kick start my mojo x
Entry #61 I used 2 different floral stamps to frame the pattern paper! And embellished with a mix of older collections! Thanks for another fun challenge
Better late than never. Entry 60. I cut up die cuts from the Dainty Blossoms die set to make this bouquet. Can’t decide whether it’s for Mother’s Day or birthday, so no sentiment. Not sure where it would go anyway. I love the sketchy nature of these flowers.
Entry 51 – I used the My Favorite and Grateful Heart papers from Days of Splendor to create a gallery on my project. It’s actually a double page for an extra wide gallery – thanks for this opportunity!
Entry 47. I really enjoyed this challenge! Used the known and loved set with the diamond background.
Great challenge and contributions by both designers and entrants. I used a variety of stand alone frame dies both for A4 cards and slim line cards to create this layout. Some stencilling with the plaid stencil, hand stitched details and groups of blue brads complement my page.
This is a fun challenge! I used the Beautiful blooms, heat embossed Folk Garden and stitched scalloped circle frame. I had extra flowers and did a second card on black card base using a Folk Edge rectangle on it. I think I need more frames.
SO happy to have found your challenge! I used your Just A Hello Floral stamps and dies for my friendship card (along with all the colors in the inspiration photo). I created my own oval frame from black glitter cardstock. All of your DT inspiration samples are gorgeous! ;)
Another great challenged!
Fabulous creations again and already some great stuff from everyone in the challenge link!! Thanks for another creative month!! 😀💕
Yes, I’m back! I found a way to use the negative leftover from the mini butterflies! My frame? Back to Basics Label Frames – Hexagon!

I found a very pretty way to ‘frame’ my sentiment on my card today! I hope you think so, too! Those mini foiled butterflies found a pretty colorful place to perch!
Thanks, Pinkfresh for such beautiful products to play with!

This is a fun challenge! I made a best wishes card using the Playful Animal Friends 1 stamp set and the Frame Builder: Botanical Triangles set.
Ooo great DT projects!! Love the colour challenge as it makes me think outside the normal green’s. Off to create!!!
Fun to do a challenge using frames and colors 😃
Hi! I used the geo blocks and beautiful blooms!
I just found a set of Pinkfresh slimline frames that I purchased and forgot about. Going to open them up and start making some cards.
I love the colours chosen for this challenge! And I know you guys have a ton of great frames to use for this! I can’t wait to get my entries in! I’ve been watching a lot of water-coloring with Emily Midgett so I’m definitely going to have to try that and Frame It Up for this challenge!
Totally love everything about stenciling. You can get such effortless results and yet you can still be very creative. Hoping to play along with your challenges more as I am always inspired when I drop by! Love your DT!
I used the “Just a Hello” stamp set. Sparkling Diamonds cover plate and Folk Edge Rectangles. I love the stencils they make it so easy to add color.
Beautiful creations!
