featuring a fashionista

it's that time again to do a nice full reveal, fashion-week-style, on the ScrapTiffany blog today for the Weekly Challenge:  "Brads & Eyelets."  the ScrapTiffany Design Team and I have some fab-o-lous creations to show you today, so go on over and check it out and play along by clicking here: Week #29, Challenge, Part 2.

for my take, i did one on my daughter entitled "She is Maiya the Fashionista."  i used some alpha brads i got from Joann's Fabrics that were on sale as part of the title.  i also used some silver brads at the left top corner of my LO which added extra interest to the hand-cut arrows and it helped move the eyes towards the pictures.  then i decked out punched circles and punched stars with some different colored brads just to add a little texture and a little bling-y-ness to them.  for this LO, i used the Creative Scrappers sketch #112.  i love their sketches!

here it is, featuring of course, my baby boo:

MY LITTLE STAR

wow this weekend is almost ending.  we went to southcenter mall in tukwila yesterday and i finally got some clothes!  i haven't shopped like that for myself in soooo long!  my hubz and daughter picked out a few outfits and i ended up buying them.  they've got such great sense of style, ya know!

i was hoping to hear who made the Inspired Blueprints Design Team...but they have not yet made an announcement...so anxious....  well i did promise i would post the LO i submitted for the DT...here's my take on their sketch challenge:

journaling is from a Madonna song, Little Star:  Never forget who you are, Little Star....Never forget how to dream, Butterfly...Never forget where you come from...from LOVE.

i had posted the deetz on an earlier post, but here it is again:

this LO will be on my fave list.  

it would be so great to make the DT. but if not, i'll try next time.  but oooohhh sooooo hope so.

i've got quite a few other LO's to post...but i may post them later on today or sometime this week.  i had used a bunch of sketches created by the reknowned Kelly Purkey.  i took 2 online classes she was teaching and they were both great. 

did another LO earlier this a.m.  my hubby especially loved it b/c it was about one of his toys.  that'll get posted laterz as well.  

for now my Little Star will do.

have a great sunday and i'm off to do laundry and clean house.  so grateful to be a home girl today. for real.

The 2 Couples on Inspired Blueprints

here's one i did this past saturday early in the a.m.  I used Inspired Blueprints sketch #46 and the LRS April 2010 kit.  this sketch was a fun one to do.  this LO will definitely be on my fave list.  i turned the photos to b&w to make them pop out with the papers.  the first photo is of my sis and her hubz (going on 16 yrs), the second one is of me and my hubz (we've been married for a little over a yr now).  love the jb butterflies!  lots of border punching, layering and tone on tone...my fave techniques!

here's my take:

and now for the deetz:

so happy that jo & rey have been together for so long...we are gonna follow in their footsteps.  yey-yah!

tfl!  have a great nite!
