Now onto today's Crazy 4 Cocoa challenge. This week we are challenging you to use pink and yellow with your Cocoa image. Here is what I came up with...I started with the adorable De"light"ful Cocoa digi image. I colored with colored pencils and gamsol. Then I used crystal effects on the "glass" part of the candle, so it looked like glass. Next I layered Cocoa onto some pink PP from SEI. Next I layered that onto some yellow CS and onto a white CS base. I used a sentiment from the SNSS digi set called Light Sentiments & Scripture. I layered that onto some pink PP. Next I added some pink and yellow ribbon...which you can't see very well, because I covered it with that big ol' yellow and pink flower...lol. BUT...I promise it is there.
Well that is all for now. Head on over to the Crazy 4 Cocoa blog, and see what the rest of the DT ladies have made. Then join us for our last Cocoa challenge! Don't forget to become a follower of the new digi challenge blog too!

First Communion Frame

Hi there. I hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Easter. We had a wonderful day with family. I wanted to share a project I made as a gift for my DD. In just a couple weeks, she will be making her first communion. Last week while she was off of school, I took her to have photos taken. My plan was to go and ONLY get the $9.99 package....well...yeah I totally got sucked in...lol. I tried to tell my hubby to come with me...but he didn't listen...and well I am just a sucker for beautiful photos. So...I already had this frame started, and now I have photos to put on it! I picked up this photo box from my LSS. I believe it is from 7 Gypsies. I also picked up the various PP's I used at my LSS. I am rather amazed at how difficult it is to find religious themed papers! I am currently searching for a religious/1st Communion themed scrapbook kit. If anyone knows of a place to get one at a reasonable price...feel free to leave it in the comments on this post. Anyway...here is what I made her, and some close-ups too.Ok...so this is the whole photo box. I just love the way it turned out. I simply cut the papers to fit the 4x6 boxes...then added various embellishments. (Which by the way are also hard to find religious embellishments.) I was able to find some stickers at AC Moore, and some little cross charms at my LSS. Now...here are some close ups of some of the boxes. For this box, I added some Prima flowers to the base of the photo. Then I added some platinum stickles to those. You can also see the top of one of the stickers I added. For this box, I used my Cricut to cut the date of the 1st Communion. Then I added some smooth pearls to the letters for shine. I also added some stickers and a little cross charm I picked up at my LSS. For this box, I used a big pearl and diamond/rhinestone flourish I picked up at AC Moore. It is one of those big sticker ones. I added the little cross charm, a cross sticker, and some Prima daisies. I think this is one of my favorite boxes...just so pretty. For this box...the cross is the main focal point. The cross is just the PP. I cut it to be the center of the box. Then I added some more of those little Prima rosebuds. I again used the platinum stickles, and added them to the cross and the flowers.
Well, that is all for now. She has already seen this, and it is already hanging on my wall. She just loves it...and so do I! Thanks for stopping by!

I am submitting this for the following Challenge:
