Paige Blanchette Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

While shopping at Joann Fabrics a couple weeks ago I came across this adorable floating frame, and of course I had to get it. I love creating décor projects, but I just never actually do them. I thought buying the frame would be a good way to push myself. So last weekend I sat down and created this gorgeous framed art! I love that there are only two colors in this piece: blushing bride and berry burst. Well and a crumb cake background! I combined elements of lots of different sets and suites, and I was going for texture which I think I succeeded at. I started by using embossing paste on the crumb cake paper. The embossed flowers on the berry burst paper, folded doily, and sparkly paper near the sentiment, vellum, and silver thread also added great texture to the piece. I hung this beauty right in my little stamping corner above my ink pads. I'm so happy with how it turned out, and the sentiment is a great reminder to find the beauty in every day. Life truly is...

It's been almost a month since I've made a blog post, so let me tell you about my new favorite color combo. I have been using variations of this combination of colors in all of my projects for the last like week, and I didn't even notice it until now! I also am still very obsessed with the Nature's Poem Suite as you can probably tell. The images and sentiments in the stamp set are versatile enough that I find I am using them on many of the cards I have made lately. I also went camping with my boyfriend the weekend after the 4th of July, so that inspired me as well. Nature is always my go-to source for inspiration! The colors are: Crumb Cake Mint Macaron Petal Pink Grapefruit Grove Here are all of the projects that I've made using these colors. Grapefruit Grove and Crumb Cake Petal pink, mint macaron, and some Nature's Poem DSP I hope you've enjoyed checking out a few of my projects using some of my current favorite colors and go-...
