The Paper Girls Challenge #22: Neon

 The latest challenge at the Paper Girls Challenge is to use Neon colors on your project. There's a bonus for using neon colors in a non traditional way with Holiday or winter themed projects. I decided to go ahead and make a Christmas card for my sample.

I decided to use the emboss resist technique combined with my Dylusions spray ink to make my card. First I embossed all of my images with clear embossing powder on white card stock. Then I spritzed the pieces with the different Dylusions colors. The background is Bubble gum Pink, the tree is  Fresh Lime, and the sentiment is Vibrant Turquoise. I spritzed each piece with water after the dye ink to make sure the color ran and i got even coverage. Ther will be a little bit of running under the embossing but I like the variations in color. As you can see in the close up I added some SU Dazzling Details around the Labels die shapes. I wanted to frame them a little more in a subtle way.

Thanks for checking out my projects. Be sure to look at all of the other Paper Girls projects with their super fun ideas with Neon. If you want to join in on the fun we have given everyone an extra week to participate because of the Holidays. So link up your project to the Paper Girls Challenge blog post by Saturday January 5th.

Paper Girl's Challenge #21 - Multi photo layouts

 When Kyla came up with the theme of multi-photo layouts I immediately thought of a set of pictures I took in September of all of the different things my son Elliott thinks of as robots. I took twelve photos thanks to the Take Twelve blog but am really behind on getting the pages done with the photos I've taken this year. Now September is done. Phew!

 I really wanted to use my Smash book label maker but haven't been able to find it anywhere. I haven't looked in my girls' room but wouldn't be surprised if it's in there. I still wanted that look so I made the word strips digitally and printed them out on glossy paper and cut them out. I also used my Tim Holtz tiny attacher to tack down the twine.

Here's a close up on the journaling in case you are interested. :)

We were excited for the huge participation with the last round at the Paper Girls Challenge blog. Thank you so much! I'm excited to see all of the entries for this next round.
