FabScraps Victoria Collection.

 There are 2 new Collections from FabScraps. The Rustic Collection and the Victoria Collection. Both are beautiful in style and color. This layout was done with the papers from the Victoria collection. I just adore the theme of ballerina's, fantasy, little girls and Hotair balloons!! There are 4 different color themes in the collection and all are just beautiful!. I chose the yellow for my project. I just love the lavender in the page and decided to accent that color.

 I adore that you can just punch out the flowers from a page and layer and distress them any way you want. There are lots of possibilities in creating with these flowers layers.

 Another great element to the collection is that there are stickers, cutouts and Diecuts that coordinate with the papers in each collection. The embellies are a great edition to add to your projects. I used the tickets and stickers on this LO.
