Sister- February Reveal for Paper Mixing Bowl

Red Velvet Cake is our theme in the kitchen this month! Loads of layers with red, cream and brown. I went in the direction of creams with hints of the other two colors.

Head over to The Paper Mixing Bowl to cook up something neat with us.

My focus in this layout is of the photos of my sister, Kristina, which I took about 5 years ago.  I loved these photos. I also paired some red flowers. Thank you to Homer and his book The Odyessey for lending some pages to my layout.

For my layer cake, I used my photos and book pages, doily punch  and old papers with pictures of stamps. For my frosting I used some moldeling paste mixed with ink to make my butterscotch frosting. For my pairs of course the 2 pairs of photos and the 2 red flowers.. the 2 clock symbols, 2 DUSTY ATTIC chipboard pieces. My rings are from the bottom of my Mtn Dew can dipped in Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

For my directions I just know of the love I feel for my sister. We seem to go thru a lot in our lives but we always try to stand by each other. Thank you sis no matter where we are in the world or even down the street from each other you are loved. The Fleur symbol is a nod to her matching tattoo. Here is the finished product  resembling a messy desk:

Prima papers yum!

White Feather - PMB

Hi everyone!
I am sooooooo excited. This is my first Design Team layout for THE PAPERMIXING BOWL!

This is the awesome sketch for the month. Gorgeous colors!

The title for my LO is White Feather.

January 4th my Uncle Marvin passed. I had received the news that morning and it was hard morning. Lots of tears, memories and regrets... wishing I had called, visited, mailed cards. I decided to go to the mailbox and get some fresh air. It was cold, damp and there on the on the asphalt was a white feather. It was rather odd to me and I decided to google the meaning.  What I found gave me goosebumps ... it said... An Angel Has Visited. I found comfort in this... I incorporated the feather into the layout.
The photos I used I took last year at our family reunion. Those have always been so important to our family. I didn't know those would be the last photos that we would have of Uncle Marvin. When I attended the funeral the following Monday... I was so touched that my photos were the ones being used. I felt like I was able to contribute. All the while, on that Friday when I received the news... it was also my Mom's birthday. Needless to say I have hugged her a whole lot more since. 

I used my 3rd Eye Stamps - Kardiogram.

Here is the finished product followed by close ups.

My letters float along

3rd EYE - Kardiogram and washi tape

Sil. Cameo and  some bling making hearts

My Uncle and THE FEATHER...

Masking with chalk ink

Frosting my flowers

I hope you'll join our challenge and enjoy these wonderful colors as I have.

Happy Scrappn!
