Challenge #4 ~ Make Your Own....

I would love to see you make your own embellishment. It can be anything you want.

For this layout I did of Emmy, I chose to make my own flower using two types of papers. I just cut them into three circle of different sizes. Each one, smaller than the previous. I them distressed the circles and inked them. I then added a flower center and Violia! A nice, simple yet elegant embellishment.

Challenge:

Challenge #3 ~ The Song

Since it is Valentine's Day this weekend I thought I would issue a song challenge. The following song is one my Gran used to sing to me when I was younger. It was just perfect for a layout I did using my Sugar Kit this month. Look for it on Sunday's Reveal.

In the meantime.... here is the song:

You Are the Sunshine of My Life ~ Stevie Wonder

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart

I feel like this is the beginning,
Though I've loved you for a million years,
And if I thought our love was ending,
Id find myself drowning in my own tears.

You are the sunshine of my life,
That's why I'll always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart,

You must have known that I was lonely,
Because you came to my rescue,
And I know that this must be heaven,
How could so much love be inside of you?

You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
That's why Ill always stay around,
You are the apple of my eye,
Forever you'll stay in my heart.

(background) love has joined us,
Love has joined us,
Lets think sweet love.

Challenge: Please use this song on your next creation and email it to me at thynner5@yahoo.ca to earn a ballot for the Basic Grey Paper pack!
