hearts

I have been working on some projects for Let's Capture Our Memories this month and I am hooked.
I'll admit it - I love this paper - the soft patterns and versatility has hooked my completely and totally :)

Problem is - this paper is already sold out in the store - but I thought I would share my page anyway !

First up - I love this background paper - and not only is it in the Take Note pack, but as single sheets too as a Classic Calico Plano paper - and the best part is that it is still in stock!

 I added in some Elle's Studio and Ormolu tags to the page

 and made a few little flags with pieces of paper that co-ordinate! I used some Stick Pins as the base too!

 I used my paper mixing theory and randomly cut some hearts out of all the patterns in the package. I love the free formed hearts stitched and some foam square added behind them to made them 3D like.

There are lots of new things in the store that you could use to make this project!

Just switch up the papers, use the same background page and go wild!

Why not check out some new Heidi Swapp, Jillibean Soup or October Afternoon papers and use it instead!

Take Note

I hope you are trying to stay cool in your part of the world!! Here in central Canada - the weather is SO HOT!! I am loving it... can't wait for my holidays in a few weeks so I can sit back and relax!

I wanted to share a project with you today using the Studio Calico line - Take Note that I did for Let's Capture Our Memories.

This month, I picked up the whole collection pack - right now there are 6x6 paper packs on sale for 50% off!!! You cannot beat that deal!

What I love about the packs is that everything goes - it is not matchy matchy too, which I do love, and the patterns are so grown up too!

I really wanted to use a lot of the papers in the collection all together... so I started chopping chunks and this is what I came up with:

 I made a sun ray pattern really randomly - I just cut down pieces until they fit.. I really am not a measurer- so it took a little fiddling, but it worked! Remember the tips I gave last month on mixing patterns - same rules apply here:

 I also snagged up some of the Elle's Studio tags to add to the mix too. the cute sentiments are just perfect for layouts and cards of all occasions:

 and another goodie in the store is the Ormolu tags! I added a few to the top and bottom of my page, along with a few stitched hearts:

And if these products are not enough for you - Tanya has completely lost her mind and put TONS of stuff up for sale in the store!! I am talking 50-75% off people!! Check it all out HERE or on our Facebook page. This is the perfect time to snag up some good deals on things you have been stalking the shopping page for!!
