a study in yellow...

A weird title today..I"ve decided today to pay homage to a title of one of my favourite programs of late, the BBC's  Sherlock..have you seen it yet? A modern day take on Sherlock Holmes in 21st century London, with the ever so cute Benedict Cumerbatch as Sherlock Holmes. *sigh* One of the episodes was titled "A Study in Pink", hence the title today.
I've decided to jump right back into some challenge sites; get some creativity flowing. See all of the creations from many, many talented ladies..First up is Moxie Fab Worlds Tuesday Trigger..have you seen this picture? Those yellow doors; mouthwateringly good!

I have to admit, yellow isn't a colour I gravitate towards.. but decided to dive right in and get it done. As you all know I prefer lighter, muted colours- pinks, creams and blues..I never showcase yellow..its always an accent for me. I used some Basic Grey papers- how I love to mix and match different layers and patterns..

I have been digging book print lately...had to include some to balance out all of the yellow.. See that delish trim?? A new project of mine..soon to be coming to my Etsy store(time is getting away from me lately. It will be open very soon!) I love that I can make my own unique trims!!

Maya Road chip board heart covered in sheet music and text..Yellow glitter brightens up some Maya Road wings..gotta love MR chip board shapes!

 I'm happy with the over all look.. a few bright pops of yellow, but mostly soft and subtle..I should break out of my comfort zone more often..what do you think??
Well, that's it for me today.. remember the giveaway is still open here.. feel free to enter! Can't wait to see more friendly followers!
Have a sunshiny Saturday!

...butterfly. Hello from a drizzly, gray Thursday afternoon. To be honest, as much as I love a springy, warm, sunshine day; I also love being cozied up  inside when its raining out. There's something about a rainy day that screams movies and popcorn, snuggled with a special someone...So, in order to brighten up my day I decided to play along with the Moxie Fab blogs Tuesday Trigger. It's very spring-like and features one of my fave images..butterflies.. You can find the original inspiration photo here.

Here's my take on the photo..

As I mentioned it's an overcast day... I apologize for the photo quality.. not too much good lighting today.. I decided to mimic the plaid in the cute Easter dress.. Some Basic Grey papers,Maya Road little butterflies stamped on some pink paper, then heat embossed with clear embossing powder..(I used the stamp from the Bingo card stamp set.. how I love that set!) Used my Slice machine to cut out some butterflies of varying sizes.. a Tim Holtz grunge board swirl..it is glittery. Used my Shimmerz paints but it's hard to tell with the lighting...
Well that's about all I have for today... finally got my package in from Emma's Paperie.. lots of goodies to play with...Will be debuting my first ever mini album soon, now that I've got all the little bits and pieces, so stay tuned for that!
Have a good night peeps!
