u+me=love mini

Here it is week 3 in the competition and I really hit a creative road block this week. I thought I would never get this kit finished. For this week first we were given 2 different color palettes to pick from. Then we also had to include:
5 patterned papers and 5 solids. The patterns should include 1 stripe and 1 dotted pattern.
1 full alpha including numbers and at least 4 punctuation characters.
1 doodled element
1 extracted element (Have I mentioned I still don't like extractions much)
1 word bit
1 word art
1 journaling block or tag
Something metal
10 elements total including all those listed above.

The color palettes that Amanda picked out were rockin. I just couldn't get anything going. In the end I am happy with what I came up with and I hope you all like it too. I *think* I met all the requirements. I was so frazzled in the end I am not sure lol. So here it is, my kit for this week u+me=love :

Kit Includes:
12 Papers (6 Patterned & 6 Solid)
Full Glitter Filled Acrylic Alpha (Upper & lower case, numbers & some punctuation)
1 Frame (extracted by me)
1 Set of Ladies Undergarments
1 Pair of Men's Boxers
1 Paper Heart with Metal Arrow
3 Acrylic Tags
5 Word Bits
1 Love Word Art
1 Journaling Block (2 versions included)
1 Staple

Sorry links have expired.  

On a personal note my little guy is having reconstructive surgery to fix a small birth defect Monday morning. The surgeon said it's a pretty common surgery, he preforms one to two a day. So I am not too worried about the surgery itself. It's the two week hospital stay that follows that I am not looking forward too. I don't know how they expect it to happen but, my two year old has to sit still in a hospital bed the entire two weeks. If he doesn't and he moves too much he could rip his stitches and then they will have to start all over again. The little guy doesn't sit still for two minutes and they want him to lay there for two weeks?!?!? It should be interesting to say the least.

Finally just an FYI the links for Maddie's Garden will be taken down next Friday night/Saturday morning after I get home from the Hospital. Since only one parent is allowed to stay at a time I have the weekdays & my hubby is taking the weekends with the little guy.

Maddie's Garden

First and foremost thank you all so much for the wonderful & kind comments on my last freebie!!

For this week's challenge we had to pick a photo for inspiration and go from there. We also had to include something extracted, some kind of bling or sequins, an alpha, word bits, something with glitter & something created using a doodle. I am telling ya...I am liking the whole doodle thing more & more...too bad I can't say the same about extractions yet lol.  

For my inspiration piece I chose this picture of the bedding set that we picked out for our little one on the way. It's so bright & funky, it instantly had my mind working:

And here is the end result, Maddie's Garden. This is probably my most favorite digi creation to date:

Kit Includes:
12 Papers (6 Patterned & 6 Solid)
Full Canvas Button Alpha (Upper & lower case, numbers & some punctuation)
3 Felt, Paper & Glitter Flowers
3 Felt Flower Stems
1 Birdhouse
1 Butterfly
1 Dragonfly
2 Doodled Flight Paths
1 Tree with Buttons extracted by me
1 Fence
1 Bunch of Grass
6 Transparent Journal Cards
1 Transparent Flower Strip
1 Ribbon Wrap
5 Word Bits
1 Piece of Flair

I broke the downloads into three parts again. Sorry links expired. Like always let me know what you think & enjoy!!

wish * dream * fly mini

In wanting to improve my design skills I joined Amanda Dykan's Bud Club a while back. Recently she started up a little designer challenge that I decided to go ahead and join. For the first week she gave us a color scheme and then we also had to create our own doodles. This was my first attempt at doodleing EVER!! It wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be.

So without further ado here is the little mini kit that I created for week 1:

It includes:
10 Papers (4 Patterened & 6 Solid)
Full Alpha (Upper & lower case)
Set of Numbers & some Punctuation in cordinationg colors
2 Canvas Buttons
3 Word Art Stamps
2 Pieces of Flair
1 Paper Cloud
1 Set of Paper Wings
2 Strings
3 Tickets
3 Wire Clouds
1 Set of Wire Wings

Sorry links expired. Let me know what you think & Enjoy :)
