Picture This....

Have you ladies been over to the new challenge blog, Picture This!?  I found it while I was enjoying a lazy day and getting my scrappy inspiration back. Their first challenge is 1 photo+sunburst+paint. Here is what I created. Not sure I'm loving the final look....probably gonna be a redo.... 

 This paper came in a pack from Paper Studio and I really liked the look of the base page. I used some paint and ink to create the sunburst and the mat for the photo. I just had to use this lovely black and pearl flower that I had been hoarding for this photo of my oldest niece's wedding day. 

 And who can do wedding....without pearls? 

 I love this washi from CTMH....so shimmery and perfect for wedding layouts. 

So pop on over and follow along and have fun with this awesome new challenge blog!

Today is my December Recipe reveal over at The Moments. I'm calling it "Party Mix". Here is the yummy recipe:

Are you ready for our December recipe challenge? This one is festive and ready to party, here are the ingredients you'll need:

1 cup of something to celebrate (My wedding, which was a Christmas one)
A handful of pearls (flourish and in poinsettias)
A dash of some dimensional liquid (Liquid glass, Dimensional Magic)

Mix all ingredients accordingly, embellish as you please, sprinkle with a little love and share with your scrappy friends!
Serves: a lifetime of memories

Here's a peek at my dish....

I used one sheet of SU! paper from the Deck the Halls stack. The little holly berries are covered with the dimensional magic. I also highlighted the leaves and pine with just a smidgen of stickles.
Then the pearls went in the poinsettias and of course I had to add the flourish.

Here is a peek at what the holly berries look like with the dimensional magic. I just love the effect.

So, what are you waiting for, I know you'll love the Party Mix and want to share your layout or project with us! Please visit, The Moments today for lots of great challenges, scrappy friendships, and tons of inspiration!

Blessings,
