{my} CTMH Portland Regionals Contest Projects



I made the 2 pages layout and card for the 2009 CTMH Portland Reg. Celebration's Contest.
I'm not the winner of the prize but happy enough to be at TOP 5 for the finals.

All the supplies are from CTMH. Requirements of the corporate.

These were fun and easy to make! Had a great time sharing them with the fellow ladies.

Next will share the SWAP's card and layout I made for this same event.

Thanks for looking.

Good stuff to inspire: images from Oregon Trip#1





We went to Oregon 2 weeks ago. My husband and I decided it would be a road trip so we could stop anytime for convenience or just for fun. And I had lots of fun taking some nice pictures!

Some of the places we stopped by...Redding (N. California) - TURTLE BAY, then getting to Oregon ASHLAND ( the historic hotel, the Shakespeare spot, a beautiful park - need to find out its name), MEDFORD and finally PORTLAND.

Today I'm sharing some of the pictures I took from the inside of the historic hotel, where I found many vintage collector's display with sea shells (loved them), bird eggs and more little intricate things.

I do believe when we're keeping our eyes and hearts wide open, we can always discover so many places to inspire and put us to fun creativities...

Got some new projects' ideas after the trip. Sure thing!

That's all for now.

Smiles,
Lya
