Hello my bloggy friends!
 Welcome to another Funday Friday Challenge.
  
This week's Challenge:
Anything Goes!!!!
Starts: Friday, June 14th 12:00AM
Ends: Friday, June 21st 6:00PM
(central time)
 
 Here is what I created this week for the challenge

 
This is the first layout that I've created in some time. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I started off with a piece of chocolate CS from Bazzill as my background paper. I added a piece of 8" by 8" piece of chevron paper from the 3 Birds Foundations Stack that was showcased on HSN. The photo is of my daughter and I from back in 2008. I matted my photo onto two different layers of some gorgeous papers from Basic Grey. I used some washi tapes to pull out colors from my photo and arranged an embellishment cluster up in the upper left corner. I also did the same for under my photo but cut the ends into banners. Another piece of washi tape accents the bottom right of the photo. The accent CS sticker in the lower left hand corner(red/white/brown border) that says, "The family that plays together, stays together" is from Adorn It's, "Family Moments" stickers. 
 
 
 
The yellow border and brown polka dot scalloped border are cardstock element stickers from Carta Bella's "Happy Little Moments" collection. I love this collection! The colors are all soft shades of yellow, blue, brown and neutrals. Most of the elements on my layout are from this sticker elements sheet. The 3"x4" journal tag is from the Jillibean Soup's Coconut Lime "Bite sized bits" collection. I chose this because of the title "A beautiful day" as the photo was taken at my daughter's birthday party and it was indeed a beautiful day. I also liked how it tied up all the colors in the layout.
 
 
I decided to add some faux stitching around some of the elements and chevron paper. I thought about using my sewing machine but everything was stuck down already and I did not want to mess with it so I just did the faux stitching instead.  My layout title, "My Mini Me" was created using some of the CS stickers from the Carta Bella element sticker collection. I used my ebosser and die cut some chevron arrow bits and some Rosebud Flowers to use for around the page. Overall, I like how this layout turned out. Thanks for looking!

  7. Jo, this is a beautiful layout. What a lovely picture of your sweet daughter & you. Will be a treasure in years to come for sure, and I'm sure you get delight from seeing it 5 years later. Thanks for explaining how you did the elements. (I'm not a scrapper but it was interesting to read your thought process of the assembly). Love those pen stitches...so very neat & even. I aspire to that occasionally, never got one I thought was very good yet!!! Happy weekend, TFS

  10. Hi Jo! I love your layout! What a beautiful photo of you and your mini-me! :) I love all of the elements you used, especially the washi tape and the arrows with stitching. I had to smile at seeing the chevron paper. My card submission is using yellow chevron paper from a giveaway I won and it's a happy coincidence! ;)

    Thanks for another fun challenge! The "Anything Goes" Challenge fit my busy weekend since we just had a big family celebration for my parents' 46th anniversary, my husband's birthday, and Father's Day! :) Have a great rest of the week! ~Vanessa D.
