Colour....

Hello everyone...happy Friday!!

Its Melinda here with just a few shares.  With the school holidays (which are nearly over here in Qld) I haven't had a chance to create much so I will share with you my layout for the 1st July sketch at Stuck Sketches?!..

Using the gorgeous Orange Stripe button....its my favourite colour at the moment.  I want/need, although hubby will disagree...lol!! more splashes of orange in my house!! Its such a bright happy cheerful colour...nothing more than making a statement with some bright orange splashed about...and that goes with having orange on your layouts.

I also made these cute fridge magnets the other day.  I was doing a big clean up and found these magnets, which I purchased a one of those cheap shops ages ago.  They have a round space just perfect for one of PP gorgeous buttons or lollipop flowers.

So this is what they look like...bare with nothing on them....

And now they are covered....

Now I have these gorgeous colours all over my fridge!
Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks for stopping by :))
Till next time...

When just one button will do.... (with Anne)

This is a really simple LO but I love it when you just add that final something to a page and it finishes it off. This happened the other day when I was working on my White with One challenge for June. I found just the right little button to sit on the page and I just love how she finishes it off.

Here is the final overall LO.

Thanks for Looking and I hope you are all having fun with your sketch for July. Anne

Happy Birthday To You....

Happy birthday to you...
Happy birthday Purple Pumpkin and to William too!!!

Yes my baby boy is turning 5 tomorrow (and he is off to school. Sob Sob!!)so I thought I would make a birthday card using some Oct Afternoon Rocket Age along with the best PP robot button, blue bubble button and some yellow and white twine. Oh and I absolutely LOVED Anne Patterson's idea of using bottletops as a base for the buttons so I have done that for the bubble button...

...Oh and I used a film strip which I covered with pattern paper and cut up. You can see I have added it along the right hand side of the card and along the bottom at the front.

...Here's a couple of close ups...

...Now onto a couple of layouts!!...

...I recently had my order of October Afternoon Rocket Age arrive and couldn't wait to play with it. Fortunately there are heaps of amazing PP embellies that coordinate with it perfectly including these: red and white spotty button, the brand spanking new denim and felt flowers, red and white twine and of course the little spaceship button...

...Here are the close ups of all the fabo PP embellies...

...This last layout is one I created using Palette #65 over at The Color Room. I have used a blue floral PP button tucked into the bottom cluster of embellies...

...and here is a close up of the gorgeous blue floral PP button...

Thanks so much for visiting the blog. I spy with my little eye 3 entries already for the July sketch!! Can't wait to see some more!!

Cheers
Belinda
