Ta-Dah!

I created this page for ScrapStreet's Screenplay Challenge. I did not have much to write about my daughter's birthday cake, so I simply used a quote from the movie Wall.E as my journaling.

I changed the paper colors a bit to match my photos better. Since I love how it turned out, I think I will also make this page with traditional supplies.



Ta-Dah!

Digital Supplies:
Paper: Sparky Connection by Caged Bird Designs, Fonts: Gunship Condensed, Segoe Script, Tahoma, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4.

Quote:
EVE: [EVE repeats "Directive" in multiple languages, ending with... ] Directive?
[WALL-E demonstrates his trash-compacting function]
WALL.E: Ta-dah!
EVE: Ohhh...
WALL.E: Dirrrrr-ect-tivvve?
EVE: Directive?
[WALL-E nods]
EVE: [Eve turns away, sharply] Classified.
WALL.E: Oh.

Hello!

I made this card for ScrapStreet's "Slush Punch" challenge using Laura's Sketch 60 at 2S4U.



This is my first time making a flower from ribbon. I used some printed organza ribbon, but I was not impressed with the result. However, layering it on top of a felt flower made it pop! I like how it turned out.
I kept the rest of the card very simple. Here is a closer look:

Happy Birthday

My daughter's seventh birthday is coming up and I made her a card using sketch 182 from Card Positioning Systems Blog.

My daughter has been eying the dragonfly woolie ever since I go it, so of course I had to use it on her card. I used a row of seven rhinestones at the bottom; one for each year.



I also decorated the inside of the card a little:

Lorikeet Forest

I created this digital layout for this week's challenge on the ScrapStreet.com Blog.

Fonts: Hobo Std, Tunga, Adobe Garamond Pro, Tahoma, Software: Adobe Photoshop CS4.
