Card featuring Enchanted Forest collection by Graphic 45!

Hello friends!

I'd like to share a card I created featuring Graphic 45's Enchanted Forest paper collection. This collection is so whimsical and fun, it was the perfect collection to create this card with loads of layers! 

Here are more photos:

I fussy cut some butterflies from Botanicabella, which complimented the card...

I love all the fairies and vintage imagery of this collection...

Inspiration Wednesday - Add Glitter!

Hello friends and Happy Wednesday! ♥

I write this with a very heavy heart... I'm here with my final project as a designer for La La Land Crafts. It's a very, very sad good-bye for me as I struggle to prioritize family, work and personal obligations. 😞  I want to thank Irina and LLLC for the wonderful opportunity to return for a couple of years and design with their wonderful products. I will greatly miss the team, but I know they won't be far! I will continue to adore and create with La La Land Crafts and their amazing line of stamps and dies!

This week's theme is:

Add Glitter

I created this shabby chic card featuring a few of the fabulous dies you can find over at the La La Land Crafts SHOP. Here are more photos:

The focus of my card is the gorgeous Arched Window Die. I adorned it with some pearls from my stash...

The Two Leaves die (Set of 2) is one of my new favorites. I love to layer with them...

Play along with the design team and upload your Glitter themed project to our Facebook page, we'd love to see it! For inspiration, be sure to check us out on Pinterest, too!

Thanks so much for stopping by to take a peek.

Have a fabulous crafty week ahead! ♥
