Smile... Family - Child's Play Challenges

   Like many people I like Alice in Wonderland. However, I only care for Disney's version and not the one with Johnny Depp (that one s just too creepy). So this challenge for Child's Play Challenges had to do with this classic. 

  For my inspiration I chose to do with the route of Alice's color palette, yellow, blue, white and black. 

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (Glitz Design), twine (Timeless Twine), chipboard (My Mind's Eye and ?), gelatos (Faber-Castell), punch (EK Success and We R Memory Keepers), mist (Heidi Swapp), modeling paste (Liquitex), journaling card (Project Life), die cut (American Crafts), washi tape (Scotch) and doily.

I used modeling paste to soften to bright blue washi tape border. This was my first page I created in two weeks because all last two weeks I have been working on my cards for PAper Crafts world card making day contest. I am happy to say they made it there Tuesday. Now, I just hope to get a special email on Halloween saying I won. 

It is Child's Play

A couple of days ago I played for the first time over at Child's Play. Quite a few of my online friends are on the design team and I have been wanting to play with their challenges for a while. When I saw they are having a design team call I thought it would be perfect time to play and to see if I would want to apply. The first thing I did was look through their October challenges to pick one. I ended up picking the bead board photo.

This inspired me to use some diy enamel dots that are made from pony beads and I also used some natural twine to represent the beading string I use to use when I was little.

Supplies: cardstock (The Paper Studio), pattern paper (October Afternoon and Fancy Pants Designs). stickers (October Afternoon and American Crafts), diecuts (Jillibean Soup and Basic Grey), twine (Timeless Twine), embossing machine and folder (Sizzix), ink (AMuse Studio), chipboard (Um Wow Studio),journaling card (Chic Tags) stitch template (American Crafts)doily and dots.

This page came together really quick and I was kind of surprised since I didn't use a sketch.
I love that yellow background paper and how the twin cityscape pops on the page.
Friday's, post will be my World Card Making Day cards I made for the PAper Crafts magazine contest.
