February Contest Kit

School is approaching so quickly! Yipe! First day of classes tomorrow!

I must admit I have taken full advantage of my holidays since Christmas. I have gotten a metric ton of scrapbooking done and have managed to read the first four books of the Harry Potter Series for the second time. Well, I'm 3/4 of the way through Goblet of Fire, but still, I have been MaxRelaxin' these last few weeks and loving it!

I have been working on this month's contest kit for two days now. I always squeeze some extra creative juices for these pages (that sounds disgusting actually). Here is a picture of the supplies we recieved:

I must say I was super excited with this whole color pallet. The limey green really takes me out of my comfort zone, which is why I love these kits. Plus I had asked for the new BasicGrey line Marjolaine (which I still can't pronouce, try as I might), and it has similar color schemes to the October Afternoon contest paper we were provided with. Turns out though, I didn't use anything from that line! I hardly added anything, really.

I used the green ribbon as petals on the flowers on the left. The other ribbon outlines my button heart. I used those super gaudy gems to frame the photo. I matted everything on a cute die cut from the So Sophie line by My Mind's eye.

Since I mentioned the new BasicGrey line before, i'll also post some pages I made from it here.

 I sure got busy using that stuff! I still have 3 other stacks/collection packs that I haven't delved into yet. I acquired them on my wonderful boxing-week shopping spree. I will update soon with pictures from those soon! Bye for now!
