Paper Playtime Hallowe'en Challenge

Hello!

Man it has been awhile since my last post!  I have been getting the school year started with my grade 8 class and thus...time slips away and none of it seems to go to scrappy endeavours!  BOOOOO!!  Anywhoo, today's challenge at Paper Playtime is to make a hallowe'en themed project.  I have FINALLY finished the album that I was working on for a friend, and this is a page from her album.  He little girl was a monkey for hallowe'en last year which is the reason for the monkey icon!  SO CUTE!  If you pop by again tomorrow I will have the whole album up in a new post for you to see!  Hope you enjoy!  Don't forget to hop on over to Paper Playtime to link up your project for a chance to win this week's prize!  Full details can be found on the Paper Playtime website!!

Paper Playtime - Cool Off With Water

This week's challenge at Paper Playtime is to create a project with the theme 'Cool Off With Water'.  My favourite way to cool off with water is to go to the beach!  However I did a beach themed layout for the last challenge, so this week I chose to focus on my second favourite way to cool off - fun drinks!  These are not necessarily alcoholic drinks - my two favourites are just very simple additions of fruit to a beverage!. But if you are looking for some fun party drinks, I am sure adding a splash of vodka or some white wine to either would be delicious!! :)  I made a super cute recipe book using costars for the covers, and trimmed some white cardstock to size for the pages.  Each page is stamped with 'Ingredients' and 'Servings' on the front, and 'Instructions' on the back.  Hope you enjoy!  Be sure to head over to Paper Playtime to see what the other designers have come up with, as well as to submit your 'Water' themed project for a chance to win a prize from our sponsor, My Pink Stamper!!

I would love it if you would share your favourite drink recipes in the comments so that I can fill up my book (and begin tasting)!!  :)

I am featuring a digi from Pink Cat Studio this week!  This lil gal is just too cute with her water tube!!  I chose my patterned papers before colouring her, and tried to match my colours to those in the paper.  I really loved this method, as I am usually scrounging to figure out which colours I will use.  Hope you enjoy!
