Hello Everyone! It's the first Friday of the month and that means it's time for another Power and Spark Challenge!! This month our lovely hostess is Christine and she has challenged us to make a Sweet Treat - the idea is to create something that will be a sweet treat for someone else (so think card, tag, hostess gift, etc) designed to help with those quick Christmas gifts. Don't forget; if you play along with the challenge this month you could win a Power Poppy Stamp Set of your choice!!!
I've gone with a blue colour palette as I know this particular lady loves blue and covered the front of the journal with some Maja Design paper. I've made a panel of Marina Mist card, punching the bottom with a lattice border punch, topped with some more Maja Design paper and then attached some ribbon. I've cut out the name of white card with an alphabet die set and put it across the bottom. The image is a digi called Climbing Clematis and I've printed this on X-press It Blending Card and then coloured it with Copics (G40, G43, G46, B60, B63, B66, Y15, Y17, YR20, YR21, YR24, B01, B0000, B000). I've cut this out with Grand Labels Four (which I think is retired), framed with Marina Mist cut with Elegant Labels Four, white cut with Grand Labels Four and finally Baked Brown Sugar cut with Elegant Labels Four. I've glued this all down and finished with a few white pearls.

Those flowers are stunning, beautiful coloring! This makes for a wonderful end of school gift for your son's teacher. Good luck in High School....time goes by like *snap* Merry Merry!
This is a sweet gift that will not put pounds on any hips. I am sure that your son's teacher will cherish this one for a long time.
Oh, Kathy, what a wonderful idea for a teacher, and she is going to LOVE it! I like the idea of personalizing it with her name, and this clematis is beautifully colored and works so wonderfully with this DP. Beautifully done with the layered dies and the pearls! Hugs and love, sweet friend...and praying for you! xoxo
Beautiful altered journal Kathy! These layers of the dies are wonderful. I do like that you personalized the front and these clamatis are gorgoeus! Love it!
A beautiful journal Kathy! The colouring is so lovely on the clematis! I bet this teacher will love it. So hard to imagine you on summer vacation shortly....someday we just need to trade seasons for a bit :) Hope you’re healing well friend and finding time to rest!
