Hi there and welcome! I'm back today to play along with the current CR84FN Color Challenge and our main colors are pink, aqua and neutral. My original intent was to make a wall hanging but I changed course and decided to capture memories of motherhood, in honor of Mother's Day, in this mini photo album instead. This is a page I created with a photo of my mom and me which I printed in black and white. The fabulous inspiration photo definitely sparked my creative spirit and I can't wait to finish my project.
I began by cutting a piece of recycled cardboard to use as a base and decided on aqua which brought in a key main color. Next I randomly stamped distressed dots for texture and after adding my next layers I added rub-ons. The edges were softened with pink ink and I die cut a doily to bring in pink as a main color. A distressed dp and an aqua/cream label, which was a gift from Emma's Paperie, works with my main colors and both have a vintage feel to them. The kraft tag & chipboard scroll were painted with acrylic paint and together with the lock they add some dimension. The paper flowers & rose cabochons accent the page in the challenge colors and two Bonjour butterfly stickers bring in a touch of spring. Some fussy cutting on the pink text butterfly, a few rub-ons and T!ms's Chitchat Stickers which I distressed finished my project. I am not sure how I want to orientate my album {top or side} so I'm holding off on punching the holes just yet. In the coming pages I hope to add some homemade touches through handmade flowers, the possibilities are endless. ;)
Sorry for being MIA lately, I traveled out of town last week and caught a nasty cold along the way. A big welcome to my newest blog followers and I'll be by to visit everyone soon & leave a sweet comment. Have a super day!

Lisa, I love this! I can actually remember you that little. Brought sweet memories today! Thanks! Love you! Cyndy
L1, It's beyond delightful. I almost cried when I saw that wonderful picture of you and your mother. The page would have been exquisite without anything else, but OH MY WORD, the embellies are superb. I love all the acrylic painting and the layers of texture. You have nailed the challenge to a T. ALSO, WOW....I've never thought to flip an album to hang differently. That is so unique....thank you for the spur of creativeness you've given me. :)
I do hope you're feeling better VERY soon.
Hugs to you my friend,
L2
