LM #139 - Inspired by a TV Show

Happy Mother's Day to all the very special women in my life!

Today marks a new challenge at Lasting Memories and here it is! "Inspired by a TV Show" and crazy enough, I had JUST made 2 layouts for my wedding album, which I've just decided to do! I'm basing my challenge LO on "My Fair Wedding" today. I may not have had a planner come and do my wedding, but I had so much help from the most important people in my life - my family and we pulled this gorgeous day off in 4 mths! From planting roses to dress shopping to food to walking down the isle. We did it!!!

These pages are done using the "For Always" CTMH WOTG kit

DSC #35 - Flowers for Mother's Day

Good morning! Time for a new challenge at Digitally Sweet and this week, Denise has challenged us to 

"Give Mother flowers for MOTHER'S DAY"

Since we're being sponsored by Cedar Chest Designs, we each chose a little something to play with. I chose the image "Spring Planter" and actually colored it using PSE9 and then used it as the background for my project today! Yes, with digital images, you can use them as backgrounds as well as images. Cool, right? I added the light effect in PSE9 as well. The sentiment is from my MMS kits.

Come on over and join us for a chance to win a $10 gift certificate! Cya there!

Wishing For Spring ...

Where, oh where, is spring?? Not here in Ontario at the moment, so I decided to make a pretty spring card. I treated myself to some new crafty fun - Spectrum Noir markers! I'm really enjoying them and finding them easy to use. This is my first real go with them! For this card, I colored my image using LV1, LV2 and LV3. I've been doing a lot of 'youtube' watching, let me tell ya! I love how this turned out. I also treated myself to a new Spellbinders Nestability with my 50% off Michaels coupon!! 

So here's what I created ...
