Carnival King: ruby rock it & birthday bash

 


If you have the Monday blues,


I have something that might cheer you up!


 


Friends at Ruby Rock-it asked me to create with
their new


Carnival King Range  


{they call them ranges v. lines}


and here's what
I made


 


 


And like always I got CRAZY and made 4 Layouts!

2 3




4 5


This photo of Kevin & I
was taken at Disney’s California Adventure.


We had been dating for 4 months and
I took him to DCA for his 38th B-Day


I thought that this photo complimented
the Carnival King range really well

I have a confession to make. I have not been to our local Easter
carnival in years.


Seriously YEARS!


But when I got asked to design with
Carnival King,


I really wanted pictures of a carnival to work with!


So I drove
by the park when they were setting up and snapped a couple of photos.


I like to
think I documented the tradition of the Easter Carnival in Sunland/Tujunga

And of course here is a layout of
Starbucks!


I love that I was able to take, this range and make a Valentines Day
layout


from such a bold and bright range.


Did you see those arrows? Yep I
rocked them…

How fun is this rainbow paper!?! I knew
I wanted to use it right way


when I opened the paper pack!


Even Kevin was all ”I
really like that paper”


What better way to use this colorful paper than the
celebration of everyday.


 


And if you noticed I used my new favorite
flair,


PandaEIGHT from my friend Martha’s shop. Also those Thickers rock with
this range.


 


 




And I get to giveaway this fun prize pack to


one of my followers





Carnival King Montage



 


I also have some leftovers
from the product they sent


me that I want to giveaway!
