It's NEW catalog time!!! Holiday Expressions went live on September 1st so of course we needed to have a new product blog hop! If you've come from Melinda Everitt's blog you're on the right path. Click the link in each post to hop to the next blog.
My layout started with an idea from consultant Clare Edmonds that she shared in August. I loved the idea of the diamonds along the top and bottom of the layouts. I made some adjustments to make it my own....like alternating two different patterns of paper for the diamonds. The black cardstock is matting for photos and leaves a space you can use as a kind of bulletin board collage or trim and line them up with the black cardstock. The stamp set can be purchased alone or with coordinating Thin Cuts. I can't wait to add photos of my grandkids after Halloween!

Have a great day!

Fun layout! Love the "tile" look!
ReplyDeleteThat diamond look at the top is really cool - almost a "play on paper" instead of a play on words. It creates such a neat effect. Cool layouts!
