This pocket letter (PL) features Dear Lizzy papers from my stash (from an older Gossamer Blue kit), mixed in with washi, punched butterflies, Maggie Holmes and Heidi Swapp...

Pages, just because

I have not 1, not 2 but THREE lovely Carta Bella Paper projects to share today!  First up is a photo from my wedding, when the hubs and his band did a special performance just for little 'ol me :) I used the Rustic Elegance kit for this page, punching confetti bits with a EK Success punch and adhering them down here and there on the page.  Major glue fingers and I stuck to everything...

Gossamer Blue: Q & U

A final layout using the Gossamer Blue July kits.  I'm pretty sure I've scrapped at least one of these photos before, but they really get me in a sentimental way, so I used them again on this layout. The chalkboard alpha's needed to be softened up a bit for this page so I used a white pencil to scribble on them.  I love the feather paper by Crate Paper, and I used some exclusive Life...

Gossamer Blue: Every Picture

The July Gossamer Blue kits are FULL of bright, cheerful summer colors, but I really wanted a soft look for this page so I grabbed the vellum pieces from the  kit and papers from the kit.  This is a super simple layout featuring the Life Pages card, the sentiment spoke to me and I thought it fit this photo of the girly wearing her big girl undies last summer.  For some reason this kiddo...

Laurel Lane Guest DT Spot

I have had a BLAST making  pocket letters with the Laurel Lane Designs cards!  I love the sentiments, black font on white, it's a total clean slate and the possibilities are endless.  I opted to use Distress Inks on the cards for a watercolor effect. The Laurel Lane cards say Hello Love and Love (repeated).  I printed them on (cheap) card stock purchased from a big box store...
