Basic Grey - Granola Range

I decided to do two layouts using the same range to show how by using the same papers you create a Boys or Girls Layout. This layout I used an XCut Sqaure nesting punch to cut out a patchwork look and I reversed it on the other layout . Adding glimmer mist and distressing all the edges you can create a natural looking layout for any occasion. Adding twine to your layout will also give it a natural finish.

Basic Grey Layout

This is two layouts I did with Basic Grey Papers. I enjoyed distressing the edges and making my own distressed flower like embellishments using EK circle punches and Brads and of course I added Lace to complete the effect.

Kaiser "Le Chateau" Layout

A Layout is a combination of the beautiful "Le Chateau " papers, glimmer mist and Kaisers pearls. The embellishments are the new Wooden flourishes from Kaiser. I personally just love them.

Great Quote

I love this Quote ... it is so true... I had to share it with everyone...


"There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it & surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy. "


You know sometimes we loose ourselves in the stuff that is happening around us.. but we forget that you can be here one minute and gone the next. Loosing someone has brought this into prospective... I wish life didn't have to be the way it is at times... and we can all be happy !!!

Don''t forget to tell the people who are around you that you love them and you are glad that they have made a difference in your life....!!

Happy Thoughts!! and have a great day!!!
