a little country charm in your life....

Hi friends,

Today I am sharing my very last project that I made for my DT term with GCD Studios. I used their brand new Country Charm collection for this project.

She's got style layout:

I love the bright color palette and fun patterns in this collection. One of my favorite papers in the collection is the paper country bloom paper. I loved the fun flowers on this paper so I chose to fussy cut one out to use as a page element. After cutting it out, I covered it with clear ultra high embossing powder from WOW embossing powder company. Then adhered to my page with foam squares.

Here is a close up of the flower:

I love the glossy shine that it gives it. So fun! What will you be inspired to make with this collection?

She is lovely

Hello ladies! Today I would like to share with you a simple layout that I created using papers from Donna's
Spring in bloom collection and Antiquities line.
I often get my inspiration for a layout by finding a good color combo, and then choosing papers and embellishments
that match.
This month I chose these colors to work with:

I thought they were so pretty and those shades of blue and gray were just speaking to me.

and here is my layout that I created using that combo:


The background and butterfly are light blue. The title, small butterfly and gem are pink.
I used the grays along the left side and under the photo. Did you notice the texture that
I added to the left border? To add interest I simply cut pieces of felt with my Spellbinders
dies. Then misted them with chalkboard mist (Tattered Angels) and adhered them to the
layout. Mixing felt with your paper is a great way to add texture to your layout.
