Speaking only for myself (Alyssa) and Heidi (of course!), we love doing really fun and different things. We love stretching ourselves, trying things we haven’t tried before. This applies to our paper crafting as well. So today, we are bravely bringing you our latest experiment in the unusual: a layout we created together. Yes, together. I started this layout [...]
Being a girl raised in the South (GRITS), I love the warm weather. In particular, I love summer! And I love the colors of summer. So this week I chose to use those bright, warm colors on a flower, and by maintaining a good bit of white space for the background, the flower really pops! [...]

We leave you with these final Prima Marketing and Couture Cardstock projects, and what lovely creations they are! “She May Not {REMEMBER} But Mama Will” To create the background for this layout, I used the Trash Bag Misting technique that I [...]
For my project this week, I combined beautiful Prima product (flowers and lace) with 2 cardstocks from the White Monochromatic Family. The card base and popped-up rectangles are made with Sugar Cookie, and the mosaic base image was stamped on Winter White. I sponged the card base, and distressed and popped up all the rectangles.
