new years resolutions: louise williams

 

 

Louise W doesn't normally like to make resolutions but this one was one she knows she will keep. After a crazily busy year and too much working, she's resolving to spend more time just playing with her boys and being with her family. She chose to hide her journaling on a shipping tag and tuck it in behind the flower cluster so the layout still had a lot of white space to balance it.

By using a mix of My Minds Eye and Prima products, she has created a festive layout without using the traditional Christmas colours of red and green, but ties in the common New Years tones of gold, black and white.

Sue loves MME products. She adores the soft, prettiness of the Blush range which suited Sue's photos of Lily, perfectly. Often the MME papers are so beautiful, they can be daunting to cut into. Especially the glittered papers. The papers are designed in such a way that you really could just place your photos and embellishments straight onto one backing paper, and be done.

But Sue does like a few layers in her pages, so she has cut into them, utilising the bird cage image from one side of the paper, and the soft green pattern from the reverse. You may not notice when you first look at the page, but Sue has used one of the transparency frames and cut it into pieces to create a border of pink flourish around her photos. It helps to add another layer.

Sue has also used the gorgeous MME brads, along with Prima felt leaves and flowers. Her chipboard has been altered with Tim Holtz Distress Crackle paint.

 

 

The combination of grey and yellow with the touch of aqua make the Lost & Found Sunshine range a joy to work with. The large range of coordinating embellishments meant that Kim found it so easy to find the perfect finishing touches for this family layout.

 

This gorgeous layout was designed by Nicole Nowosad. Nicole and her family are lucky enough to live close to a beautiful beach, just outside their city. Nicole says they visited the beach in late Summer and were the only people around on one stretch of the beach. Her children were playing so well together and Nicole captured the moment with her camera.

Nicole knew she wanted to print her photo in sepia tones and it matched the MME papers beautifully. The soft aqua, mixed with cream, yellow and grey were really perfect! Nicole just love the touches of glitter in the line too, and had to use it! We think she has done a fantastic job. Thanks Nicole!

Iris takes a few sheets from the My Mind's Eye Christmas line and transforms a few wooden plate holders into a table centrepiece for Christmas. A Prima bouquet and butterfly completes the look for this vintage piece.

Louise just loved creating these 3 layouts from the new My Minds Eye Stella & Rose - Mabel Range!! What she loved most was the versatility of the 6 x 6 paper pad from the range; inbeing able to paper decorate and embellish her layouts. As you can see she has not let her scraps go to waste, especially on her last layout.

 

 

A big thank you to Natalie May for sharing this glorious double layout featuring her beautiful daughter Jessica. I love how Natalie has used the pattern from the paper to create flower clusters and to create her own hand made flowers!! Just beautiful!
