I see BLUE...

...and am loving the bright colors in the Bo Bunny Calypso paper line right now. It is currently for sale at Pink Pineapple Scrapbooks, and here are a couple layouts using this beautiful paper:

My brother and nephew recently vacationed at my home is San Diego, and I have been in heaven! This layout is a photo I took of my nephew at Sea World, looking in awe at the beluga whales....

AC Layout for Amber 2009 Rain S

Here is the quote I hand wrote (inspired by this months "Glorious Pink Challenge"): Life is like a rainbow. You need the sun and the rain for its colors to appear.

I talked to my sister about what type of paper, etc...to use, since I want it to match her home, and decided on three American Crafts papers. All blue and white! Of course, I ended up adding other colors...sigh...colors make me happy :)

Other products used: diamond glaze to make the rain look "wet", and
Sassafras paper flowers, feathers, beads, pink fabric paint, sewing, lots of pop-dots, and thickers. The clouds and rain are cut out of the American Crafts paper.
