Papercraft Star Challenge #14: Simon Says

Still in wedding mode, and desperately wanting to complete our wedding album, I chose to complete a layout about my sisters! We are closer now that we are older, and enjoy spending time with each other when we can. I am so lucky to have the wonderful girls in my life!

Materials used:

All Patterened Paper: BoBunny's Alissa Collection! One of my favs!
Pre-Punched Banner: Bazzill
Ribbon: Personal Stash

I love it when you can use the collections for all pieces needed for the layout! That's one major thing I love about Bo Bunny is all of their embellishments!

Papercraft Star Challenge #12

This week at Papercraft Star we have a wonderful photo for our inspiration! I just love the picture, probably one of my favorites! I have become to love the photo inspiration challenges! This one is no exception! I have so super cute pictures of our two kitties. I call the pictures their "kitty glamour shots"! A little lame, but I love my babies! Here is the inspiration!

Here is what I created!

A few weeks ago, I purchased a K&C Company paper pad at Michael's when they were having a sale on their paper pad's! I also enjoy fabric, and when I saw that is was paper based on Amy Butler's fabrics, I couldn't help myself! It was such a great buy for such beautiful paper! Instead of the orange, I went with a green, I think it makes the paper pop!

Here is a supply list!

Patterned Paper: (flowers and strips)K&C Company, (Green and White polka dots) Girls Paperie

Cardstock: Bazzill's Dotted Swiss (some of my favorite cardstock to use)

Buttons: came from personal stash

Ribbon: Michael's

White Flower: Prima

Fiskar's scalloped Border Punch

Cricut Cartridge: Storybook (both the title and flower)
