Y&FH CH #25 Reminder - Many Thanks

Good morning everyone!

Today Team Fumi is sharing their photo inspiration creations on the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog.  Pop on over to see their beautiful projects, it's really amazing to see what everyone creates based on the same photo.  They'd love it if you stopped by and left them each a nice comment.  Once you are done ohhhing and ahhhing we hope you get inspired to join the challenge.  To link up here's the original post featuring Team Yumi's creations. Don't forget you can use any image now, pop on over to see the challenge updates on the side bar.  We'd love to see you there.

I'm very late in posting, but I did make a card for today's challenge reminder.  Here is my second photo inspired attempt using Fumi with Turtle from our Peek-a-Boo Spring series, a stamp from the newest Sheena Douglass Lanterns set, Paper Smooches sentiment, flower punch, Daisy Doodle flowers from my stash and some clear beads and the Floral Frenzy embossing folder.  (To see my first, just scroll down to the last post for Kathy's birthday)...

Many Thanks - Fumi with Turtle

Happy Birthday Kathy!!

Hello!

We're having a special birthday celebration over at the Yumi & Fumi blog for Kathy from Team Fumi!!  It's her birthday today and we decided to celebrate her turning another year "younger" with Kathy's very own birthday blog post.  Stop by the Y&FH blog to see all the pretty cards and projects created for Kathy's special day.

Kathy was the one that got me to go to stamp camp and she's also someone that I find tons of inspiration from.  She's super nice, a talented crafter and is fun to be around.  We're always laughing about something. For her card I chose to use the current photo inspiration for Challenge # 25 at Yumi & Fumi Handmade.  If you haven't been by yet, just click on the link below.  Here is a picture of the photo and if you didn't know... It's anything goes.

PHOTO INSPIRATION

Photo inspiration - CH #25

With summer now coming to an end and the chill of fall creeping in we wanted to end September with pretty bright colors before heading in to those lovely Fall ones. I'm lucky that one of Kathy's favorite colors is green!  Yay!! So my project ties in well for both.  Sweet!!  Here's my card featuring Yumi with Bookbag. 

Happy Birthday with Yumi Bookbag

I had a lot of fun making this one.  I masked Yumi first and taking a lantern rubber stamp I did a grouping of them right behind her.  The flowers are actually ribbon that I colored using a couple of Copics.  I added a touch of bling with the rhinestones and the confetti.  I mounted/layered up some white cardstock with a piece of green cardstock and mounted it all on to the peach card.   The sentiment is from Island Scrapbooking which I colored to match the rest of the card.

Kathy, Happy Birthday!!  I want you to know how much I appreciate our friendship and how much I cherish you.  May your birthday be blessed and fun and I hope all your wishes come true.  Love ya girl!!

Now don't forget to stop by Kathy's blog to wish her a Happy Birthday.  Thanks a lot for stopping by, have a great day!!

Hugs,
Leanne
