Frosted Designs Fabulous Fridays - Die Cuts - Let's go Higher

So last Friday's challenge over at Frosted Designs was to use die cuts on a project. That's a tough one for me as I know zero dies, no die cutters and I don't really buy many die cuts at all (really only if they come in a pack with something else).

Luckily I had ordered a pile of Cricut - cut flowers from a girl locally so I had them handy and decided to get using them.

This is what I came up with:

These photos are from the Weekend to End Women's Cancers in Toronto, a 32 km walk I participated in September 10th. I was on Johnny Reid's team called the Pink Tartan Army - hence the photo of the back of my shirt. I ended up walking 20 km before I wimped out :)

Johnny Reid attended the opening ceremonies at 8 AM and sang Let's Go Higher. It is a great, inspirational song, and hence the title. We did meet him and talk to him a bit, but forgot to ask for a photo together! Oh well!!


I stacked a pile of different colored and shaped flowers across the bottom of the page in pinks and blues - the colors of the Weekend to End Women's Cancers.

Stay tuned for a layout of myself and my sister in our "Completion" jerseys we received at the end of the walk :)

Frosted Designs Fabulous Friday Challenge - Colors - October 21st

The Fabulous Friday over at Frosted Designs this week was to use the colors from the inspiration photo, and only those colors - but you didn't have to use all 4.

Here is the photo:


And here is my take on it



The purple color really didn't work for me, although I did pull out some purple cardstock entirely intending to use all 4. However, purple is really not a color I like or even use, and with the green, orange and red, I thought it was great as it was and decided against adding any purple.

The journal card and photo mats are from the Creative Memories Reminisce collection. This is really a great pack because you get full size (4x6) journal cards and half size (2x3) cards as well, oriented both vertically and horizontally.

I'm looking forward to the next Fabulous Friday challenge to see what they have me doing next...
