{Memories...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful new Color Swatch Eucalyptus 12x12 collection.

For this layout, I used Paper #3.

Here is my layout.

For the layering of the matted photo, I selected frames from the Color Swatch

Eucalyptus Frame Set, V/A Essentials square stitched frame, and two frames with tabs

from the Square File Frame set. I also added elements from the V/A Tranquility Ephemera

Bits and an acetate filmstrip.

The V/A Tranquility collection includes a packet of beautiful chipboard bits, and I have

glued hello happy and two hearts to my photo.

The beautiful photo wrap is from the Color Swatch Eucalyptus laser cut elements.

The clusters are made up of Color Swatch Eucalyptus acetate leaves, V/A Tranquility

laser-cut wildflowers, and elements. The acetate leaves are raised with foam tape. I added

mushrooms from the Curators Meadow laser cut elements. Here I also used two more chipboard words.

A word from the V/A Tranquility word set was used as the title.

I glued two beautiful acetate butterflies to my layout that is included in the Color

Swatch Eucalyptus acetate leaves packet.

{Easter Bunny...}

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the blog today. My March design team layout features beautiful Dusty Attic

Easter elements. This is my daughter with our two bunnies, Oliver and Slipper.

Here is my layout.

All the chippies were first covered with a layer of white acrylic paint, and then painted

with Americana Acrylic paint.

I painted the scalloped circle with Boysenberry Pink and dry-brushed it with

white acrylic paint.

I painted the title and words with a sponge brush from left to right using Boysenberry

Pink, Coral, Pineapple, and Poodleskirt Pink.

The bunny headbands are super cute. I painted them with white acrylic paint

and dry-brushed the edges with Slate Grey. The inside of the ears was painted with

Poodleskirt Pink.

I painted the easter eggs in the same colours as the title and decorated them

with Posca pens.

To finish off my layout I added glass beads, glitter, and splatters with diluted white gesso.

{You...}

Hello, 49 and Market fans!

Here is my layout featuring the beautiful new Vintage Artistry Tranquility 12x12 collection.

For this layout, I used the Bravado paper.

Here is my layout.

On the sides of my layout, I added strips of washi tape from the Curators Essential 4" Botanical washi tape and images from the Tranquility washi sticker roll.

The matted photo was layered on a frame that I cut from the backing of the Essential

laser-cut elements and Tranquility Ephemera Bits.

The Tranquility collection includes a packet of beautiful chipboard bits and words, and I have glued some of them to my photo. For the title, I used the word You from the chipboard word set.

How beautiful are these butterflies from the Tranquility12x12 Rub-on transfer sheet?

To create the cluster on the right side of my photo I used a doily, ticket, tab, butterfly, and bow and printed chipboard circle from the Tranquility chipboard word set and Ephemera Bits, and Eucalyptus and Tranquility laser cut elements. I also glued a stunning Eucalyptus photo wrap to my photo.
