Paper Issues: June: Put It On An Angle

Hi Everyone!

Welcome back for more Paper Issues awesomeness with my take on the 

Put It On An Angle challenge!



As the name suggests, this challenge is all about featuring a visual angle on your layout!
So super fun and easy to play along with; even the slightest tilt counts!

I couldn't wait to get creating for this!

Here's what I came up with to inspire you....

"Lovely" 

She's truly lovely at any angle! 

Sigh! Such a pretty page for my sweet girl!

You'll spy the beautiful Maggie Holmes Flouirsh collection, as well as Nuvo Drops in Bubblegum Pink and Gold, and that divine  6x6 Stencil from Carta Bella. 

Let's take a closer look......

So many gorgeous details, layers and pretty embellishments! 

I even machine stitched and stamped on this layout too! 

I am especially loving the vellum ephemera pieces, including my title Lovely. 

Seriously, you can hardly even tell it's vellum! So beautifully designed!

And while we're looking so closely, take a peak at those Nuvo Drops! 

Enamel dots for years! Absolutely loving them! 

I now need a bottle in every color - SO good! 

You'll also spy lots of pretty Die Cut Epemera pieces tucked in and around my angled photo cluster. 

Beneath it all is that fabulous gold stamped stencil, which I also applied on an angle to keep my design cohesive and easy to look at. 

All those Flourish pretties!!! 

And there you have it! 

My very feminine and pretty take on the Put It On An Angle challenge! 

I can't wait to see what you'll create!

Paper Issues: June: What's Going Down?

Hi Creatives!

Welcome back for more Paper Issues awesomeness!

Today I am playing along with another NEW challenge -

This challenge is super fun! 

To play along, simply create your layout in the bottom third of your page!
All the focus is on the base - simple!

Here's what I came up with....

"Beautiful Day"

Sigh! 

How dreamy and delicate is this?!! 

Oh.so.preeeeeeetty! 

This is one of my favourite photos of my tiny danseur! Such a beautiful ballerina!

I have used the gorgeous Crate Paper: Maggie Holmes Flourish collection for this sweet page, as well as some of those fabulous Nuvo Crystal Drops. 

I've kept to a really soft and pretty color palette, including those tiny pops of blue! 

Here's a closer look.....

Oh how stunning is that gold leaf trim?!!

Loving all the gold foil - it really adds that wow factor! 

And speaking of wow, how about that veneer frame!?!! 

I just love that touch of vintage whimsy! 

Butterflies, florals, and those crystal drops make for such a lovely, feminine page!

I hope my take on this challenge has inspired you to get creating

& play along too!

Paper Issues: May Swag Bag Spotlight!

Hi Everyone! 

Welcome back for more Paper Issues awesomeness with one of my favourite shares,
 Swag Bag Spotlight!

Today I am creating with the April Swag Bag, called "Yay! Let's Celebrate"

Isn't this such fun! 

So many cute embellishments and 3 x 4 cards! 

Each mini kit slightly varies, and mine had quite a few pieces from the My Mind's Eye,  Good Vibes collection!
The pink foil and bright colors in this line partnered perfectly with my left over pieces from the February Swag Bag. 

Here's what I created with them.....

"Yay!"

Isn't this the sweetest?!!

I had so many left over hearts from the February Swag Bag, this was a perfect way to use them up!

Everything on my layout is from these two Swag Bags, 

except for my 12 x 12 paper, and the Nuvo Drops in Bubblegum Pink. 

 That super cool Amy Tangerine Hustle & Heart  12 x 12 pattern paper for my base was a perfect match with all the hearts too! 

Such a happy girl page! Love it!

Here's a few close ups for you.....

The April Kit also included those super fun Shaker Stickers from Shimelle's Glitter Girl, and some cute 2 x 2 squares from Paige Evans: Pick Me Up collection. Perfect for this sweet page! 

Loving the playfulness of the MME Good Vibes line!

Beautiful! 

Swag Bags - a little bit of this and a sampling of that! 

Perfect when you just want to try it all! 

Love 'em!
