Yvonne's Guest Blogger....Hurray.... Hurray....

Today it's a special day for me... I'm truly honored that Yvonne invited me to be her Guest Blogger... ... so I hope that you've had a chance to pop over to Yvonne's blog...
As her Guest Blogger ...
I've a challenge for you today and there is a PRIZE peeps...NOT one but TWO...everyone loves a prize...especially when you have 2 to be won!!!

As most of you would have known Yvonne... One of her best traits is ~ LESS is MORE... So my challenge for you today is to create a card, layout or any other form of altered art with a twist of Less is more and keep it minimal.... Easy peazy isn't it...

I had soo much fun creating this layout...I used a AC Weave Cardstock as the background, painted using a recycled plastic lid to created the background with some colors...then I used the abandon NUMBERS ..to create a 3D effect...fussing cutting...add some leftovers adhesive chipboards... and walla!!! I'm done.... Totally LESS is definitely MORE...

So now it's your turn.... I really hope you ladies... would have a chance to play along with me....Please link up your creation HERE....

Thank you so much ladies for all your love and sweet comments!! It really means the world to ME!

Echo Park Fresh Faces Designer Campaign

It's proven...One of my favourite scrapping manufacturers is Echo Park....I'm pretty much excited as Echo Park is having a monthly contest for a spot as a guest designer....Since I adore Echo Park so much....I thought I would give it a try... How it works is that Echo Park will accept applications every month and one person will be chosen each month to be their "fresh face" designer!  You can read all the details about entering here.
I have some Echo Park projects that I just did last night...
My 1st layout was created using the For the Record collection.
  I absolutely LOVE the strong colors like black & red...but mostly I love the grunge-y vintage-y look of this collection.... I decided to keep it simple to restore the grunge and vintage look of this collection...and it suit for Me photo on this layout too.. 
These are some of the PP I used for my 1st layout.
For Background - Newsprint
And I layered it with Table Cloth & Picket Fence

Add-on with Element Stickers
And some Cut out Noteworthy

For my 2nd layout.... I used the Playground Collection...
which perfect to show the side of my silliness and childishness ... you can tell from the PHOTOS.... I never grow up I supposed.....
 I've used Jump Rope for the background...
Layered with PP monkey bars, capture the flag ...

Add-on Alpha Stickers and Element Sticker Sheets....
I LOVE the Elements Sticker Sheets, it's just FUN to play with and I never get enough!!!

For 3rd and last layout... I used a mixed of  Little Boy and a bit of Playground Collection...I don't want to waste some of my stash....
My 3rd layout is about my precious lil Man... Matin....
For the background I used Road Map...
I layered it using a little bit scrap from Playground collection Simon Says..but mostly from little boy kit PP... Rad Plaid, Cool Stripe & Rock Star



Of course ...I mixed it with my all time fave... Element Stickers and Journal cut-out.... SO TDF!!! LOL...


These collections are so very beautiful!!! I love the mix of patterns and colors, like I would say -  to die for!!
Phew!!! That's long post from me today.....he he he

   Thank you so much Echo Park for the chance... who knows.... Wish me Luck friends.....hugs...xoxo

How's weekend ladies???? .... Me had a great one!!!!.... Yesterday was MY DAY...I spent 3 hours... in-the-kitchen ~ Hands-on Tute by my SIL, Razana... She's TopsTurvymum!!.... She taught me 3 types of yummy goodies... Marble cake, J-Lo & Japanese Bun...woohoo!!!.... It was a HUGE SUCCESS !!!(THANK YOU SO MUCH SISTA!!!)
 Mind you... I'm not a kitchen perse....to start with!!!... But...I'm getting there... hopefully!!!...What a shame...I only had 2 photos to share!!! (too excited!!..too yummy...!!)...And not really a good one though...but HECK.... !!!


Okay... back to the reason of my posting.... this is my ARTastic DT layout for July, using the gorgeous inspiration picture below as inspiration, the criteria ~ 1. use a photo of yourself 2. Shades of red or maroon and 3. Have a hat or glove on the page....
I tried to stay as close as the inspiring photo on my layout... I think I did!!!..You can see I used the lady conductor on the photo as the hat criteria....


So ladies hopefully you are inspired enough to join in the fun with me over at July ARTastic Challenge..
