Splashes of colour

It's been a while since I did a monochromatic layout, even though it's one of my most favourite ways to scrap. This week at Design Dollies, the colour challenge is to use monochromatic blues. I loved doing this one!!

Here's my layout:






And over at Scrap Pile, the Lazy Days of Summer competition continues into Week 2. This week the challenge is to create a round card, and include a 'sun' themed embellishment.  I kept my card simple and colourful:



# Raise the Bar ~ Challenge # 2 ~ The gift that keeps giving
The 'gift' I used on this card was a Provocraft smiley stamp set I received from my fabulous friend Karmyn in a blog candy win last year.  It's the first time I've used this one, and it's so cute!!
