i was honored when megan asked me if i would host a guest challenge over on her new site, sketchbooknz. she has a great site going … lots of fun challenges and sketches … and a great place to chat. my challenge was to use ribbons and flowers in creative ways.

Miranda_miranda    

another thing that i love to do … is to really mix up my product. sure, the collections are always nice to use on their own … after all, you know that it's going to coordinate. but i love to pull product from all different collections … and to also mix older and newer embellishments together. everything on this layout is making memories … but i still have a wide variety going.

 and here is my matching card. same products … same basic design … just on a smaller scale.

so make sure and go check out her site HERE. you can find out more about the challenge and how you can participate! and thanks again megan for asking me to host this challenge!

    I love this layout and the card. I will check out the website. I need to practice using different product to use on one page. I tend to be lazy or perhaps just safe and use the same line every time. Thanks for the inspiration.
    Have a groovy day.

I really like how you mixed up all your yummy Making Memories ribbons and such. I’ve gotta step outta the box and mix n match stuff a bit more. And the blah…blah…blah…so you girl! 🙂

    I love this layout and card. I just received a gromment setter and gromments in the mail from a friend and was not sure what I was going to do with all of them! Now I can not wait to play! Thanks so much for the wonderful inspiration!
