Roxybonds Creates

Today I would like to share with you my entry in the Fresno Fair Home Arts Exhibits- Scrapbooking Around Fresno.  This layout is of my kids and I at the Pumpkin Patch last year.  I earned a Second Place ribbon for this one.   For this layout, I used the (retired) Scaredy Cat papers & Compliments, adding some Purple Glitter Paper too.   If you like this layout, take a look at the scrapbook kit that I used to create it.  I have ONE kit left... let me know if you want it!

For the last couple years, I have entered some of my favorite layouts, cards and other projects into the Fresno Fair Home Arts Exhibits.  I have been blessed by 1st, 2nd and 3rd place ribbons, Best of Show and Sweepstakes Ribbons.   This year is no different!  I entered 22 projects and came away with 15 ribbons this year and a Sweepstakes award!   Over the next week, I will show you some of my projects :) This is a Baby Boy Mini Album that was created using the Cricut Artbooking Cartridge.  The entire album is full of cricut cuts.  It's super cute and I was excited to see it won 1st place for Die Cutting Machine Mini Album.

It's Watercolor Paints mania around here!!!   Today's card was created using the La Vie En Rose papers & Compliments, along with the beautiful stamp set Blossoming Expressions . I finished the card off with a Gold Bling Gem !  I just love the color combo of red, back and white.  Throw a little blue (watercolor paint) in there and it gives it a retro love feel!   Are you loving these watercolor cards???  I have a couple more that I'll share with you next week, after my class!
