No sketch this month, no drippage!

For May let’s make a double page layout incorporating polka dots and stripes. Use the color palette of the attached picture and use at least 3 of the colors on the palette, more if you like. Add at least one paper flower. The flower can be handmade or from your stash, but not purchased for this challenge.



Here are couple youtube tutorials on making flowers and a couple links for making flowers:

uses a paper circle punch, if you don’t have one you can hand cut circles. Very easy with nice results.

Hope to see a lot of people participating and most of all have FUN!!

Here is my entry. I can't do anything without a sketch to go by so I used the attached sketch for this layout. I didn't have any stripes or polka dot paper so I made my own. This is some old Club Scrap paper that I was glad to use up!!

This is my oldest granddaughter and some of her Senior photos. Can't believe she graduates in 3 weeks!!

Fun layout, Deb! I may borrow your color palette for my canvas....

Gorgeous photos Debi!

I just want someone to send me that bouquet of flowers! What a beautiful color palette.

What a fun sketch and that palette is gorgeous. The dark purple/black (??) really sets off the colors.

Love the colors Debbie and your sketch is a good one also. Your granddaughter is a beauty, they grow up so very fast don't they.

Thanks everyone!

Trifecta! I was able to use this one layout for 3 categories! (Washi Tape and NSD Gelli Prints, too)

Very colorful!! Love it!

I'm going to try this one this weekend. This week is my last class for 7 days. YEAH!

YooHoo, anyone home? Only a few more days left on this challenge and we only have 1 entry??????????????

Sorry, I was scrapping some summer water pictures from 2006 and this didn't fit in with them. I'll see if I can scare something up....

I been trying to get some cards done
I'll see if I can get this done

Um, I'm still a little bit in denial about that fact that it's not still March, and here you are warning me about an impending end to the month of May! I think this is the second year in a row that I've completely misplaced April. I seem to recall that happening last year too.

I'll try to see if I can get something posted this weekend, but the way things have been going, I might just hit another time warp and be instead staring at the August challenge.

Today is the last day to get your challenge entered.

As it stands looks like Pam is a safe bet!
