Pink Ninjas Prompt #37: What’s Your Stilo?

Hello! Sooooo…I’m kinda nervous, kinda excited… Many of you know by now how nervous I get with computers and new projects on the computer. I need details people, details! So when The Pink Ninjas (who I am now obsessed with…thanks Sarabeth!) said that we followers can become authors on their Art Walk blog, I hopped right on board, albeit I was shakin’ in me boots.

Their latest challenge was “What’s Your Stilo?” Meaning, what’s your style. Oh, and we were supposed to use some crepe paper but for some ridiculous reason or another, I have none! Oh well… Anyway, this is the layout I made. And, while I like to think I have several styles, there are some specific things I tend to do on most of my pages.

Just-Playin'1

Here’s Baby Rhi last year, shortly after she learned how to sit on her own. So this layout shows a lot of the elements I gravitate towards. Lots of color, different patterns and textures, inking, stamping on pages, and using different fonts.

Just-Playin'3

I stamped the swirls 2x, in 2 different blues. The stamp is from Autumn Leaves (Rhonna Farrer) one of my fave sets of stamps eva!!! I also added some teeny rhinestones to a couple of spots on the swirls. Click on the pic to see it bigger!

Just-Playin'2

I love to use a whole mess of fonts at once. Then I don’t hafta worry about running out of an “e.” I just use/make whatever I need from any set I have on hand. I think it adds a lot of intrest to a page too.

Know what I didn’t do on this page? Tearing. One of the things that I always seem to do. Weird. I did distress the edge of the pink square though. See how it’s a little rough around the edges?

So there you have it. I hope the fabulous Pink Ninjas like my post. I hope they let me post again! I am really excited about doing it because I so need to scrap. Yeah, I’m totally far behind, but I want to scrap. I have so many ideas for the multitude of photos I have. Time to get it done (ok…not done, really… but at least a little more complete then what it is now!). Hope you enjoyed! Have an inspiring day!

Beautiful daughter and beautiful layout! I love the mismatched fonts...I'll have to give that a try as I'm always running out of my letters at a critical time.

Oh my word!! Look at those cheeks! I just want to squeeze them. Z never had pudgy cheeks - he's always looked a little older than all the other babies.
Great page! I love it!

Echo Park Blog Hop with Imagine

Greetings! This is my second post for the day. This one is not part of the 31 Days of Halloween, but rather a super-duper blog hop that the Artists in Residence for Imagine are doing with Echo Park . So if you're here for my Day 7 project, please check out the post HERE . But before you do that, scroll on to check out this one. There are prizes up for grabs, so be sure to check out the Imagine Blog as well as the Echo Park Blogs for details. I created my background by applying Dandelion and Tangelo Memento Ink to my brayer. Then I sprayed it with Ink Potion No. 9 to help the colors blend and to act as an extender to keep the inks wet longer. After I rolled the colors out on to watercolor paper and let it dry, I stamped the lovely doily-like image from Echo Park's Simply Sweet Stamp Set with Grape Jelly Memento. I also received the super pretty Heart Doily Designer Die  which I used with a true purple cardstock. But it needed something....and in rolls the super fabul...
