Reminisce Party Contest

Reminisce is having a party contest over on their blog here. As soon as I saw their new Monkey Adventures line I knew it was perfect for my 2 year old son Gabriel. So I have created a double layout from his birthday photos. He is absolutely crazy about trains right now so this line was a perfect fit.



 Materials Used: Reminisce Monkey Adventures 12x12 Cardstock Sticker sheet and Reminisce Monkey Adventures diecut sticker quotes; Jillibean Soup/Red Sugar Staples (polka dot base) and White Bean Soup/Pepper to taste (green plaid) with Alphabean Stickers in Glazed Green and Roasted Red; Navy Blue Cardstock, Red Cardstock and med. blue cardstock; Assorted black buttons

Gabe got train gifts, a train cake and even train party favors. We also celebrated Grandmas Birthday the same day, so the middle car of the cake train is filled with flowers and says "Grandma". Here are some more close up photos:

How cute is that Monkey Train? Let me know what you think! If your interested in the contest you have to enter by April 7th.

Websters Pages March Challenge

One of my other favorite inspiration website, Websters Pages InspireMe has challenges every month. I was able to play along in their traditional category this month which was to create a layout with a shaped base. You can find the challenge here. They have an amazing design team that shares wonderful projects. This website is full of ideas, tips, sharing and fun, you really should check it out.

Here is my entry for the March Challenge, titled "My Veggie Girl"

Here are some close-ups:

This is a layout I did of my daughter and her choice to be a vegetarian. I used new Websters Pages- Spring Market paper, vellum and some Lullaby Lane and Wonderfall and Waiting for Santa alpha stickers. I created my own template to shape the corners for the challenge and used my eyelet punch to make the holes. There are lots of pop up dots and vintage buttons to top it all off. Let me know what you think!
