Stuff 2 Scrap Colour Challenge

Follow Your Heart

Have a very sick girl here at the moment... Brittany came home from a ski trip on Saturday and she looked so terrible I was a little bit panicked.  Trying to get to see a Doctor at this time of the year and on a Saturday afternoon is almost impossible, so I ended up getting a Doctor to come for a house call, which was great, but  I had never done this before and didn't realise the wait would be so long.. he arrived at 10.30pm and poor Brittany had a temp of 40 degrees by then and I was having trouble getting it down.  Four days later and she's still not looking very good... so were off for another Doctor's appointment.  I think I have added another 100 grey hairs to my head!!

On a lighter note I decided to have a go at the Stuff 2 Scrap challenge for this month set by the gorgeous Chantal Vandenberg.  The colours are so yummy that I couldn't resist.  You need to create a page/card/otp using some chipboard and these colours...

SUGAR RUSH PINK
TROPICAL WATER BLUE
SPAGHETTI WESTERN RED
PANDA EYES BLACK
SOFT SERVE WHITE


Used some of my old stash for this one with some Fancy Pants, Bo Bunny and Scenic Route pp's. A paper lace doily and some Martha Stewart punches to add a soft lacy feel and some black Prima bling, Rhinestone chain from my2angels and black resin flowers for a little punch.  The title was made from a recycled Mambo clothing tag... I have accumulated quite a few of these now and forget to use them.

My chipboard elements are butterflies and the flowers to tie in with the girly theme. I outlined the butterfly chippies in black and added a centre rhinestone.

A Couple of Sneaks




Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love :)))

    I hope Brittany is on the mend.. My little ones have both been sick too and it is just horrible to see them like that!

    Cathy!!!!!! I almost had a heart attack with happiness when I saw that you did play along! I remember you commented that the colours were "calling you" but I know how busy you are so I had hoped you would but thought maybe not. LOL! I am SO glad you played along! I LOVE this. Yes these colours are totally up your ally and only you could make them work like this - INCREDIBLY!!! I love this so much. How lovely is that penny farthing bike and bling flourishes? Love the hearts too - mega sweet. The pic really suits the colour scheme too. Actually the whole layout is FREAKING AWESOME. Love it love it love it. And if you haven't caught on yet... I'M EXCITED! Seriously thank you so much for playing along!!! If you want to also be in the running for my RAK, please leave a comment on my original post on my blog for this challenge. In any case you are in the running for some yummy funky chippie! Okay, I'll stop yakking now. I'm so happy you played with us at S2S! :D

    Hi Cathy, sorry to hear about Brittany, hope the 2nd doctor visit helps out. We've had the doctor make a housecall before and yes it takes a very long time for them to get there.

    Your layout is wonderful, I just love how you make so much gorgeous product work together so beautifully and the photo still shines through. The sneak peek looks fun!

    Take care, stay well and hope the week and Brittany get better.
