I love the variety of leaves, flowers and butterflies in the Tidal Wave Laser Cut Elements pack. I scattered them everywhere!! I used one of the Sherbet chipboard pieces to top my frame. You can see one of the pieces of corrugated cardboard peeking out from under. It only takes little bits here and there to grunge up the layout a little.

49 and Market Spectrum Sherbert/ Everyday Magic/12x12 Layout
The new Frame Sets are beautiful!! I used Tidal Wave and Strawberry Lemonade frames. I layered both frames, and added some of the washi tape that looks like stitching. Tear and apply. How easy is that!! I hung both photos using the Mini Index clips. Love them!! You must get all of the colors. They are a must have! I had some tiny clothes pins in my stash, and that is what I used to hang my elements.
The pack of Chipboard Words is amazing! I used the Joyful word in between the photos of my grandson Dominick. I also clipped another Spectrum Laser Cut sentiment onto a flower, then onto the banner string. I tucked some laser cut lace, more flowers, tickets, tags, and butterflies to my layered banner.
There is also a new acetate leaves to go with the Spectrum Sherbet Collection. Leaves and butterflies, oh my!! You can see some of the dotted washi tape on the edges of the layout. Stick and tear...The Washi Tape Assorted collection has different designs and sizes in the box. Another must have.
I had so much fun layering my banner!! I hope you are inspired to create a Layered Banner for yourself. The possibilities are endless!

ARToptions Avesta...My grateful Heart
Hello Lovelies. Today I am bring you a new layout created with the gorgeous ARToptions Avesta collection. Talk about floral sprays!! This one has it all! And if you love the Rub-Ons, then you are in for a treat. The Avesta Rub-Ons are gorgeous. I used the 12x12 as well as the 6x8 sizes to create the background design on this paper. I used one of the solid designs for my base. It is the back of the Flutterbies paper. Some times it is so hard to choose which side to use because they are all beautiful. That's when you buy 2!!
I did a little stitching around the 12x12 paper using green thread to offset all of the beautiful pink. I position where my photo is going to be, and worked the rub ons design around it. I mainly used the 12x12 size, and pieces of the 6x8 size to fill in smaller gaps around the main design. I also used the Ticket Express Stamp which is now retired, but if you have a small script stamp, you could use it as well. I used it for some added texture around the perimeter of the rub on designs.

Hello Lovelies. I come to you today with a new layout created with Vintage Artistry Collectors Edition Volume 2. It combines a little Vintage Artistry Butter, and Lilac, then adds new gorgeous designs that coordinate perfectly! So if you own Butter and Lilac, this will take your collections further. The best of both worlds. I even snuck in some Curators Botanical into the layout. It all goes together so well. I started by mounting my paper onto a 12x12 piece of corrugated cardboard. Layering and clustering were the words of the day. I just went with it!! I wanted that walk in the garden look. It wasn't to hard once I "installed" the laser cut fence!!
I hope you found some inspiration to create your own spring like project. The colors in Collectors Edition Volume 2 are simply perfect for the season. Spring is in the air!! xo

Heartfelt Creations Alumni March 2022 Blog Hop
Its is that time again. A Blog hop from the Heartfelt Creations Alumni Design Team!! I hope that you are inspired by all of the beautiful projects this month. And of course there will be a chance to win a $25 Gift Certificate. We will have 2 winners! All you have to do, is leave some love on each of the designers blogs. You may be our next winner!
This month, I chose to do a card. One that is colorful, cheerful, but one that is meaningful. With my Ukrainian friends on my mind, I wanted to create a card to symbolize HOPE. In the theme of a rainbow, I kept the 2 middle colors blue and yellow. They are the colors that represent Ukraine. And the word hope, because we are all hopeful that there will be peace for the Ukrainian's again.
For the floral clusters, I used the small Wild Rose die, and the Leafy Accents. I dusted the flowers and leaves with Rajni Chawla's Frosting Powder for sparkle. In the middle of the flowers, I used the Orange Juice Prills.

49 and Market Curators Botanical and a heartfelt hope for our Ukranian Designers and the people of the Ukraine.
Hello lovelies. I hope to bring a little sunshine and inspiration in the world today. I have created a layout to honor our Ukranian paper Designers and the people of Ukraine. Their national flower is the beautiful Sunflower and the colors representing the Ukraine flag, are yellow and blue. My layout is one of HOPE...It reminds us to make every day matter.
Curators Botanical is simply an awesome collection. Gardens of flowers everywhere. Each and every collection to coordinate with Curators Botanical, has something for everyone. Whether you do layouts, cards, off the page projects, junk journals or decoupage, it has something for everyone. I started by machine sewing around a 12x12 paper from the 12x12 paper collection. I mounted it on a piece of 12x12 corrugated cardboard. And let the layering begin.
I didn't have any 49 and Market sunflowers in my vast collection, so I decided to create my own using the Solids 1 paper as it was the perfect yellow. I die cut the flowers, did a little shading with ink, shaped them, and layered them. I used brown pipe cleaners to create the middles, and painted the outer layer with some green acrylic paint. So easy to do. I created 3 different sizes. The title was created by cutting apart one of the sentiments in the Ephemera Bits, and backed each word with thick chipboard before adhering to the layout.

49 and Market ARToptions Avesta
Hello Lovelies. Today I bring you a layout created with the beautiful ARToptions Avesta. This collection is amazing, with its gorgeous floral designs and pops of orange, pinks, and greens. The amazing coordinating embellishments are awesome bits and pieces to add to your products. And don't forget to look through your stash of flowers to coordinate with these papers. You can use so many coordinating colors. I created a 12x12 layout. I did some machine sewing around the 12x12 paper, then mounted it on a piece of corrugated cardboard using Mod Podge.

I die cut 2 circles from the Decorative Circle frames die, and stamped the sentiment onto the smaller circle. I layered the circles using corrugated cardboard in between each layer. I set it aside. I created a small bow using cream colored Sari fabric and hand died it with Dried Marigold Distress Ink.
I created the sunflowers Stamping the flowers with Ranger Archival Ink in Tea Rose, using 2 layers for each flower. I layered the colors with distress ink in Mustard Seed on the entire flower, then used Dried Marigold in the middle. I also added some Ranger Archival ink in Tea Rose to the middles. I shaped them using a ball stylus from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, and after layering them, I added the Redland Elements to the middles. The smaller purple flowers are the Arianna Cling Stamp Set. I used Distress Ink in Seedless Preserves and Distress ink in Mustard Seed, and Ranger Leaf Green in the middle. All of the leaves are stamped with Ranger Leaf Green. I then watered down some glue, lightly painted the flowers and leaves and sprinkled them in Rajni Chawla's Crystal Clear.
