Treasuring Memories

Hello!!! I'm still super busy with the dresses for next week's wedding but I made a stop to show you my page for the  Creative Scrappers's  new sketch reveal designed by Nicole Niwosad.  My daughter Paola is always making peace and cool signs so I decided to make a page about this so in the future she can remember how she acted when she was a teenager.

I will show you today this page that I made with the Ska Vi Ta En Fika? Collection by Maja Design .

Hello!!  I'm so happy and excited because today was my first post at Maja Design blog as Design Team member and I will share you this page that I made with the gorgeous "Crea Diem Collection".  My idea was a soft color vintage page with lots of textures and for that reason I selected these pink, gray and white colors and this was my inspiration... With these same beautiful papers I created all the textures, I made the flower by hand and cut all the pennants and I love the final result.  These papers have beautiful design in both sides that I used to create all these shades of colors. Here you can see all the layering and textures... I added stitching, silver swirls, pearls, lace and butterflies. I also used gesso and acrylic paint.
