Sparkle and Shine Challenge #9

Todays Sparkle and Shine Challenge is sponsored by Pretty Pink Posh! This time we have a photo to inspire you with. Here it is:

 

 

I was inspired by the colours and created a layout. Apparently my grandnephew Ryan wouldn't give me a decent smile a few years ago. I just got this cheesey grin...lol!

 

 

I was happy to use up some old Teresa Collins product on this layout. My sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh...of course!!! I used the Sparking Clear and the Sweetheart Mix.

 

Here are a couple of close-ups.

Got washi?

I know that we all have washi tape. Come on admit it!! Yes I have lots and forget to use it so the latest topping option at Seize the Birthday was a perfect reminder to play with it.

I made my rosette by adding red polka dot washi to a strip of white cardstock.

Stamp: Wplus9

Ink: Versafine

I got the fabulous 6x6 Teresa Collins "Something Wonderful" paper pad from The Paper Trail.

 

So come on and pull out your stash of washi and play along with us at Seize The Birthday! Can't wait to see how you use your washi.

 

Oh I forgot to mention that I used the sketch at Mojo Monday!

PP: MME "Just Splendid" (kit)

Tag & Stickers: Teresa Collins (kit)

I cut up one of the tags from the kit to use as the focal image and stamped the background of it with this cool stamp.

 

A splattering of sequins to embellish my card and it was done!

 

Speech Bubbles?

One of the papers from the March Card Kit from Paper Bakery called Daylight Savings had all these speech bubbles and it reminded me of texting on a cell phone so this is the card I created.

Everything is from the kit other than the cardstock form A.C. and SU

Stickers from kit: Teresa Collins "Daily Stories"

PP from kit: MME "Just Splendid"

The wood veneer speech bubbles co-ordinated with the paper soooooo perfectly!

I cut the cell phone out using my Cameo.
