A DOUBLE TWO-FER!! I love it when I can do that!
First - the Layout - For the September challenge over at word.pictures - they give you a set of instructions to follow to make your layout - this was the BEST!! I will be going back in their archives to check out earlier ones! The layout is made using one part of my Apron Strings Designs kit - which was perfect for this Instruction Challenge.
Second - the card - Libby's Little Addiction - Courtney's Closet. Little Courtney is wearing a cute pink and brown outfit with cupcakes on it!! I just grabbed the pink and brown and went with it! Got the little frill of ribbon on the edge and called it good! :) You should also note that there is a transparent portion above the ribbon. My thought process on this is to stamp a sentiment there - when I decide to go ahead and use the card!
**EDITED TO ADD - I totally forgot that the card is based on a sketch for CPS! So I think it makes the card a three-fer and the layout is still a two-fer!!
Third - I just recently found a relatively new challenge blog called ScrapSchemes and this is scheme #6! The challenge is to use polka dots.
- So for the card, there are polka dots on my paper, and I stamped the polkadots onto the cardstock using my Unity Stamps Distressed Dots background stamp.
- On the layout, not only are their polka dots on the large square patterned paper but there are polke dots on several of the stars as well!!

Hey Vicki! Love your take on the word.pictures challenge!!! TFS the Scrap Schemes blog - I've added it to my favourites. It is great to get inspiration from challenge blogs. I've been scrapping for about 6 years and thought I'd lost my mojo, but the blogs helped to get me going again! Have a GREAT day! B-) Sami
Love it, great take on the challenge. And I just love your little bird blinkie think hopping around your signature. Need to get me a buggy one :)
Fabulous work -- Your layout and cards are fantastic! :)
Super cute! I don't know if you intended it, but those circles look like cupcake tops to me! Yummy! :-) Thanks for playing Vicki!
I really like what you did with the CPS sketch! Great colors.
