Hiya everyone

 I am so excited to have been chosen to be a guest Designer

for Dream Factory

Dream Factory 

The Challenge for this month is

 Here are my projects.

I chose to do both as I was having to much fun coming up with ideas.

For Miami Vice I went old school

I am a child of the 80's so here we go.

I think Sunny and Crocket would be proud...lol

Using the colors that scream Miami to me I went with

Teal, hot pink and  holographic silver.

The Stamps I used are from Diamond Press and no longer in production.

But it was their Tropical sent for the Flamingo and

Beach Hut Set for the palm tress.

The Happy Birthday is from a slim line set from Diamond Press as well.

 I colored them Spectrum Noir tri-bland markers.

The fun fold comes from Same Calcott on youtube

and you can find it here.

Accordion Fan fun fold

The next one if Freaky Friday.

Now im old enought to remember the Original movie.

But I went with the updated version.

This fun fold can also be found from Sam Calcott on you tube here.

Diagonal

 I used a blank and red plaid pattern paper that matches

Jamie Lee Curits Dress on the movie poster

 My rocker on the front is from 

Dr. Digis and his name is 

Metal Mick

He is colored with Scorpion Colored Pencils

 The inside piece is black card stock
