Joyful Journal...

Hi there!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge... Here are this week's colours to play with...

I struggled to know what to do with these colours for ages so I went rummaging through my paper collection to see if anything had a combination of any of these colours in it and lo and behold I found an old K&Co collection that had all of them (or near enough!). That inspired me to create an altered notebook, so here's what I ended up with...

I used the current Viva la Verve sketch for my layout (with a few tweaks!)...

Beautiful Blues Notebook...

Hiya!

It's time for another ColourQ challenge and this week we've got a fabulous combination of blues...

It took me a while to figure out what I wanted to do with these colours but I eventually decided to pull out an old Papertrey set, Guidelines, and create my own background paper (inspired by the printed bedlinen). I'd forgotten how much fun it is to play with this set and the endless possibilities you can create!

I had a heart-shaped doily in the Bermuda Bay shade of blue so added that along with my background paper, a simple Verve scripture and of course a butterfly! I have a stash of these little blue notebooks that are a perfect match for Brilliant Blue so I thought I'd alter one of those for a gift for someone or to sell perhaps - we'll see!

Encouragement Blueprint...

Hiya!

After a week off last week I'm back with the latest ColourQ palette...

How striking are these colours?? Gorgeous! I wanted to create something with a floral element to reflect the photo but I was running short of time so I broke out my set of MFT's Blueprints dies and whipped up this in no time at all...

I used the PPA sketch this week for my layout as well as the lovely Card Concept inspiration photo...

I went with my usual 'clean and layered style' - for me the easiest one to pull off quickly!

Candied ColourQ Hearts...

Hiya!

It's time for another great ColourQ challenge and this week's colours are a fabulously girly combination...

Here's what I came up with...

I was inspired by the Card Concept inspiration as well as the PPA sketch this week...

I loved those heart-shaped cookies with the icing so wanted to create a similar effect with the hearts on my card. I die-cut the hearts and layered then covered with Crystal Effects and sprinkled with a touch of gold glitter. I added a stamped flower with a gold glitter centre, inspired by the inspiration photo. Here's a close up...

The sentiment is from Verve's Small Phrases set (so versatile!). I went with the 'clean and layered' style with this one (probably my favourite!).

Pastel Mojo Botanicals...

Hi there!

I was able to find some creative time this weekend and combined a couple of challenges with some new toys...

I'm loving the Botanical Blooms dies and stamp set from SU - so many possibilities and pretty combinations! I used the colours from Just Add Ink and the Mojo Monday sketch to inspire me...

Valentine Sky...

Hiya!

I'm late posting my ColourQ card this week - it's been a hectic one so far! Here is the colour palette this week...

I decided to make a Valentine's card for my hubby with my Sale-a-Bration freebie stamp set...

I used this week's fun Retro Sketch for my layout...
