Couture Cardstock’s Spring Valley Monochromatic Family contains all the perfect shades of this tranquil hue. In the mini album that I created below, I wanted to capture the life my family has [...]

It was my turn to play with some JilliBean Soup this week! I thought that a few of the paler greens in our Spring Valley Monochromatic Collection were perfectly suited to play with the pinks, reds, and dark greens in the JilliBean Soup paper, helping me to create this spunky layout of my daughter, Sarenna.

For this creation, I use my circle punch to cut out various circles from the different pattern papers and placed them [...]
