Eagle Sighting

Double Feature on my blog today!!!
Paper Girls Challenge Blog has a delicious Color Palette:
Coral, Navy, and Cream.
It was a cinch to combine the color palette with
~Eagle Sighting~
The photos are a little too dark to see the Eagles unless you are in person so here are some close ups.
As you can imagine it was VERY difficult to convince the eagles we meant no harm so we had to take the picture from quite a distance.
Stop by both blogs, get the details, and get CRAFTING!!!
Supplies:
Paper:DCWV and MME
Twine:MME
Punch:Uchida
Brads:CTMH

Printed Memories

Monthly Reveal on the Just Imagine Crafts blog today.
I chose to do a layout based on memories of my grandfather's funeral. I really want all the paper strips incorporated into the photo album, but it can be hard to make a page look natural with these type of memories.
~ Printed Memories ~
I decided to go for a classic red and white scheme with simple embellishements. To frame the strips of paper I used solid cardstock and Kreaxions punch # 915. By punching once on each side of a two inch strip I made a flower design and double tabs.
Supplies:
Paper:DCWV
Flowers:Petaloo and Prima
Alpha:American Crafts
Punch:Kreaxions 4-in-1 #915
