twisted Venti♥

I can't believe that this is sketch #47 from twisted sketches......8-)

this weeks twist is "clean", since I tend to do a lot of inking, distressing and layering I decided to use the word clean to describe my style with this LO...clean and simple!

all of the papers are from the "Nook and Pantry" range from Basic Grey.

head over to twisted sketches and check out how the rest of the DT used "clean" this week and pic up your copy of the sketch to play along

Your mini album can be as simple as one envelope or as full as all you can bind together. The winner will recieve a 6 x 6 paper pad of Early Bird from Cosmo Cricket.

I also wanted to share this card with you, just a quick and simple card with some "vintage" Sassafras Lass ♥

.Hi everyone :) its my turn to host the monthly contest here at Everything Scrappn....

I am so excited to see Spring ring forth. I can't wait for sunny days, flowers, and gentle spring rains. This month's challenge is all about the coming Spring. You can create a layout or an altered piece. First, I want to see flowers, at least 3, but not plain or simple flowers. You can either create your own flowers (from fabric, paper, felt, etc. whatever you wish) or if you chose to use a Prima type flower, you need to alter it somehow to make it uniquely yours. Second, I want to see the color blue on your project. Something blue that will remind us of Spring rains that nourish the soil. Last, you will need something yellow or gold to represent the warm Spring sunshine on your project. I can't wait to see what you create and hopefully Spring will join us all soon!"

Many of the Design Team Members will be showcasing Webster's Pages products in their sample creations for the March 28th contest. You can view the stock of Webster's Pages that Everything Scrappn' has to offer by clicking here. Participate in the challenge for a chance to win aPrima Artistry Flowers Mini Tin. This tin is filled with around 25 Prima flowers in different sizes.

Here's my example for you called "flower child" I made two rolled paper flowers and I altered two white prima flowers with stamps, stazon and glimmer mist.

For my 2nd project this month I created easter baskets out of the Basic Grey Nook & Pantry line. I also used a few of the "woolies" flowers from the line

Time to "hop" around to all of the DT blogs
