Scribbles Goes Green This Month

Welcome to a brand new challenge at Scribbles Designs challenge blog. The theme is Go for Green, which I thought was a perfect time for me to create a new layout of Wilson. No, he's not an Irish Settler, he's a Silky Terrier. But We like  to give him a photo opp for each holiday.
I've been creating a lot of digital layouts lately. I would like to send them all out to be printed and bound into a book (or two or ten). While I LOVE paper layout pages, especially chunky ones with lots of memorabilia, they takes up LOTS of room in my house. I'd like to have them all out to pick up and look through now and then, but there's only so much room. I think the books would be a good investment.
If you scrapbook, have you ever made your pages into a bound book? Which company did you use and would you recommend them? Still considering where to get my pages...
Anyway, my layout uses three digital images from Scribbles Designs: F81 Shamrock (FREE), F109 Shamrock Balloons,  and F110 Leprechaun Hat. All my papers are from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles: Chasing Rainbows Patterned Paper Kit, Glitterati Glitter paper in Gold and A Grungy Christmas Textured Paper Kit in dark blue.
I used a couple embellishments from Pixel Scrappers Pauline Thompson: Glitter Scatter 2 and Sheila Reid: Painted Heart Set 1, Brush 6. And my layout is complete...
Now it's time to go green and create something to link up to Scribbles Designs challenge blog for your chance to win  free digis from the Scribbles Store. I can't wait to see what YOU create!

Birds of a Feather Stick Together at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

Welcome to a new challenge at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog!
This month's theme is Birds of a Feather. I used one of my favorite Scribbles images. It's called Farrah Flamingo. And since St. Paddy's Day is just two days away, I decided to create a card for the holiday. Farrah, ever fashion-forward, wishes everyone a happy St. Patrick's Day, even if green just isn't her color.
My sentiment was inspired by a recent St.Paddy's Day when I found myself without a Kelly green shirt to wear to work. I had to run to Walmart and buy one! I didn't have the self-confidence that Farrah has to brazen it out in pink instead of green that day.
Here's what went into my card:

Scribbles Designs' Images: Farrah Flamingo, Shamrock, Leprechaun Hat

Font:  Celtic Hand

Paper": Patacake's Pages (that's me). 

Now onto the challenge. Create with birds in mind, whether you choose them in your image, your paper or your embellishments. Then link up with Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog for your chance to win free digis from the store.

Top o' the Mornin' to You

Top o' the mornin' to you all, peeps! I couldn't resist a Spring holiday card using this fabulous digital image from Rick St. Dennis. She's called "Colleen" and is available at his store. I colored my Irish maiden with Copics, then cut almost all of her out with the Scalloped Oval Spellbinders Nestabilities die before popping her onto some glittery green paper with punched corners. I also framed her with lace and ribbon. My sentiment came from QKD. Some Skittles and a handmade shamrock made out of punched hearts and inked twine.
Today finds us with a new Anything Goes challenge at Craft Your Passion challenge blog. So how about a St. Paddy's Day card, or whatever your little heart desires, and come play with us this week.
Before I go, I leave you with the Irish blessing on my card:
  "May your home always be too small to hold all your friends."
