to incorporate (I will have some small shells in class as well)

Fresh from Authentique

Fresh from Authentique is just the new collection to get you in the spirit of the summer season with it's cool shades of light blue, cream and a hint of red.  The colors worked beautifully with summer vacation photos from last year.  I did a bit of fussy cutting from the gorgeous papers to create a border crossing the two pages of my layout.  I also fussy cut the scalloped paper to create a wave-type border for one of my photos.  Also cut were the postcard and large shell to create a cluster of embellies on the right corner.  The prints were so soft and subtle that they were easy to mix and match!  If you haven't yet felt the heavyweight and luscious texture of Authentique paper, then hurry in to Photo Scraps to see for yourself.

Simple Stories cards

I made 2 cards today using the DT pick for June, "Summer Fresh" by Simple Stories. 

I copied myself on the butterfly card using a layout I had done for a previous class.  Even though I used the same stamp that I used in my class, it is amazing how different the card looks just from changing up the paper.  The butterfly is from Hero Arts and embossed onto one of the Summer Fresh patterns -I love the text!  The background is another Summer Fresh pattern and both papers are edged in Distress Scattered Straw ink.

My next card is quite simple and uses only one pattern from Summer Fresh plus a nice large stamp from MFT using my favorite red ink, Black Cherry Staz On.  As always, ribbon and bling complete both my cards.

On a side note, have you tried any of the new ink colors from Memento?  I love love love them!
