Best Buds || Paper Issues

Good morning everyone! Stopping in here today to share my take on this month's Best Buds challenge over at Paper Issues.  I decided to go with a flower theme for this one...mainly because I had the cutest pictures of my daughter blowing dandelions and I really needed to get them on a page! 

I began by mixing some older Pebbles paper with some die cut flowers from Pink Paislee.  I kept the design really simple, because I wanted the photos to shine.  

I've never been a huge floral person, so even though the design of this layout is simple, it actually took me a long time to figure out how to arrange my die cuts...ha!  One I had my die cuts glued down, I sprinkled around a few gold enamel dots from my stash and added my title.  Here's the whole layout:

I hope you decide to play along with us...and don' forget - each designer has a code that will save you 20% off your store purchase.  Mine is KAT20.  :)

Fashionista

Good morning everyone!  Just popping in today to share a new project with you for the "That Was Random" challenge over at Paper Issues.

For this challenge, I decided to scrap about the pink combat boots my daughter picked out all on her own.  They are definitely NOT something that I would have selected, but she loves them.  She's quite the little fashionista and has very strong opinions about her clothing.  I recently had a little trip to the outlets and I decided to save the tags from my new clothing to add to this layout about my little fashionista.

In addition to the clothing tags, I used the brand new Let's Wander collection from Vicki Boutin, including the awesome mixed media pad.  This layout came together SO FAST with those fun projects.

Here is my layout:

What random things will you be using for this challenge?

Thanks for stopping by....and don't forget code KAT20 will save you 20% off your PI store purchase!  :)
