A decorated cone

Hey there!  Just wanted to share my decorated cone as inspired by  my guest Dora Dekker's challenge! :) I used paper for my base but wrapped the cone with baby blue felt, tulle and pearls. Some lace, paper flowers and embellishments from the Gauche Alchemy Blue Streak Mixed Media Color Kit. Love the huge furry pom pom! It adds a little drama right?;) I stuffed my cone with wrapping tissue. The pin at the base is from Heidi Grace.

I had so much fun making this cone...and the possibilities are endless...fill it with potpourri and hang it in your bedroom ...:) Hope to see your decorated cones too!  Link up HERE! :)

Meanwhile, I'm hosting a little holiday project challenge over at the Gauche Alchemy blog. Link up your holiday projects for your chance to win an awesome Acme Kit (currently available only through subscription)! :)

Love notes

Love notes: expressing true love...for food! :)

Okay, this is the best I can do for the camera when I'm hungry....I was waiting for my food to arrive at a Bulgarian restaurant. [I get cranky when I'm hungry.] And there are no photos of the food because I was halfway through the meal before I remembered to take photos...errr...what can I say? I love food??? *LOL*

This layout was inspired by this week's challenge at Scrapping The Music - Suds in the Bucket by Sarah Evans! Love this resist paper from Pink Paislee. All I did was mist the different colours and then added distress inks (in hues similar to the mists) and got this really awesome background (at least to me! ;) And then I just added some embellishments (mostly from the various Gauche Alchemy Mixed Media Color Kits). I had fun with the Pink Paislee Artisan element (swirl)...coloured it with copics in matching hues. My journaling was printed on a transparency and tucked in the frame.

What do you think? 

P/s: There's still a little time to play along with my guest Julie Tucker-Wolek's challenge! :)

Just a quick layout for the sketch and monochromatic challenge over at The Studio Challenges.
