The Paper Variety Challenge and The Color Combo Galore#189


Hi my blogger friends!!  I would like to show you these two pages that I made, The first one is for The Paper Variety Challenge.   This week is a Polka Dot Challenge, it was very easy for me because I Love Polka Dots. In my page I used a polka dot Prima Paper to make the frame and gave it little accents to my page. I took this lovely picture of my daughter Paola that was my inspiration to create this page. I used My April Limited Edition from My Creative Scrapbook, so Beautiful this kit.


 Our challenge this week is Polka-dots! Click here for all the details, see the great DT examples .......

This is my second page that I made for the Color Combo Galore #189 and for  Frosted Design- Sketch Challenge #13, I combined both challenges. I love this Graphic 45 line...Once Upon a Springtime Collection are the perfect  paper for this color challenge.   I had these lovely photos of my niece Camila, she was looking for Easter eggs. I sprayed  SHIMMER on the flowers and some areas but the effect is not seen in the photos.

    It's not just the inner beauty that shines in your page on Paola, she is a lovely girl on the outside too! There certainly are the distinc trade marks of Marilyn in both of your layouts, beautiful feminine and with a definite big wow factor. MCS sure seem to have just gorgeous stuff in their kits, everything is just wowee! love the scrunched up polka dot frame and all the other lovelies. I left some gallery love at CCG on the layout featuring Camila, cute as a button! Have a great weekend sweetie! xxx
