Some Layout to share

I've been working on some Cookin' Up Creation challenges. You can see the list of challenge in the earlier post. Here are some of the layouts I created for them.

First one is my current challenge on the Cookin' Up Creation site.
Mary, Mary Quite Contrary : For this challenge we focused on the grow part of the nursery rhyme. I challenge you to grow your embellishments. Make a growing embellishment (well sort of). Bust out those punches, die cuts or machines and paper scraps and follow this easy directions and create you very own growing embellishment.


I made some flowers and butterflies (I made copies my oldest daughter’s favorite book from that time; Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. Then I misted them and created my embellishments the maroon flower and butterfly HP & green LOTR) for my layout.
This is my layout.
