Throwback Thursday Challenge- "Doodlecharms"

This time Emma's challenge was to use Doodlecharms, not one of my favorite cartridges.  I was not sure if I could use other cartridges as a supplement so I just went with it.  I also used Tags, Bags, Boxes & More, Create A Critter & Stamped.  I really loved the end result.  Thanks for always making me work for it, Emma!!!

MPS Design Team Entry- Aquarium Layout

Here is my entry for the 2nd round of the MPS Design Team.  I am not a blogger so doing these challenges are really kinda cool.  The picture I chose to scrapbook was taken a couple weeks ago on a family vacation in Vancouver.  This photo was taken in the dark & I loved how it turned out.

The shimmery paper from DCWV Citrus Stack was perfect for the water feels I wanted.  I decided to crimp the green paper to give it a more rich look.  I also used pop dots to give it a lift.  The jelly fish from Create A Critter were so cute I just had to incorporate them.  Hope you enjoy it
