At The Outlawz our Saturday Paper A La Mode Challenge is Monochromatic. It is sponsored by Rick St. Dennis. Rick is a monthly sponsor and I have some beautiful digis from him.

I think it's based on his niece.
Card Supplies:

We begin a new challenge today at The Outlawz Paper A La Mode. Our theme is 'Inspired By A Movie'. Our sponsor is Rick St. Dennis. When I read what the challenge would be I couldn't think of a movie I would use. So I went to Rick's Zibbett Page to look at his images to see if I could get any inspiration. When I saw this image it brought back memories of when I was a little girl. (Yes, I was once young) My grandmother took me to see "Alice In Wonderland" when it first came out and I loved that. I loved the fact she took me to the movies periodically. She would take me to see a movie, then we would stop next door at drugstore that served food for a hot dog. Such special times. See you never know what the little things you do for people will mean to them, especially children.
Back to my card.

Hi Everyone, it's time for The Outlawz Paper A La Mode Challenge. Our theme this week is Tropical and our sponsor is Sassy Designs. My first attempt at this tropical theme ended in putting the card away for a while, maybe forever. I showed it to Donna and she said, "Wellll, it's not ugly, it's just doesn't look like you, Mom." You know after that I wasn't about to present it for Design Team work.
So I set about trying to find a tropical image. A lot of them had a lot more coloring than I had time for. Plus the pain in my hand from the shingles, it's hard to work some times. I found inspiration from a card I saw on the internet by Scrappy Chick. Here is my version.
Card Supplies:
5X6.5 card base
Background Papers - Reflections Designer paper, cardstock, & Digital Paper by Far, Far Hill
Image - Coconut tree by Sweet n' Sassy
Sun - Cut file from the Silhouette Online Store

Our theme for the Saturday Paper A La Mode Challenge at The Outlawz is Flowers. Our sponsor this week is Bugaboo Stamps. I chose a digital image with Sunflowers & a Hummingbird.

Does it need something else to make it complete?
