Hey there!
You know what I love? Pretty papers.
One sunny day I received a package from JoAnn, and I can tell you they really answered all my dreams.
I like to bring different layers and textures to my layouts. In the package I received, Park Lane Sunshine and Rain, was all those glittery papers, linen and foil designs packed into one stack. That's beyond wonderful!
In addition to fussy cutting I also used my die cutting machine to cut out couple of butterflies. Almost everything in this layout is from this one paper stack. White cardstock as a background, the die I used and small amount of thread are the only things picked from outside the paper stack.
There's couple of plain sheets in the paper stack but I felt more comfortable keeping my style and worked on white.
I feel very grateful for getting to play with such beautiful papers. Can't wait to make more.
Here's link to JoAnn, so you can get yours too. They are now half off so I'd like to say run fast!
Thank you for visiting here, and thank you JoAnn for this fantastic opportunity!

Happy mind and cheerful scrapbook page!
I feel very lucky to be able to play with fresh new products, and I hope you can feel the joy through my pages. I think it's important that I share you the best parts of the lines I get to play with.
For example, Slice of Life line is full of delicious elements and Amy-looking phrases, but the ultimate winner for me is the blooms. It's like I'm graving to get the scissor back to my fingers and paper to the other hand. I mean, look at them! Need to say more?
Oh and if you ever need more inspiration, take a look to my scrapbook.com gallery. I've been adding some of my work there too, so that purchasing products I've used in each project would be as easy as possible.
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Hello everyone and happy Sunday!
It feels like it has been at least a lifetime since I last played with Create A Smile products.
Create A Smile is a small and probably the most wonderful stamp & die & stencil manufacturer + webshop from Germany, owned by Christine Drogt. Christine also draws their stamps, and I highly recommend taking a moment to swipe through their website. So many wonderful designs! Even for scrapbookers!
And a bonus: Christine is one of the warmest and kindest persons I have ever met. My personal opinion is that it can be seen through her work.
Couple years ago I was part of their design team, and today I'm honoured to be back as a guest. I got Coffee Collection Kit to play with and that's like a nose to head as I think I couldn't manage anything without coffee.
Fun thing though that I haven't scrapped about this subject before.
Create A Smile has made a bunch of kits before this specific kit, and all the kits have been a joy to play with. The Coffee Collection Kit includes stamps, dies, enamel stickers, ephemera and alphabet stickers.
The dies became my favourite as soon as I saw them!
The kit has green and brown tones in the ephemera pack, and I thought should I go with that color scheme or add something more. Well, who could resist rainbows... And I found out these papers from Pink Paislee matched perfectly the ephemera pack and all the stickers.
So what do you think?
Hot or not?
Should I create a tutorial based on this layout?
If you like these products from Create A Smile as much as I, give them your love:

Thank you Christine for trusting me (...and waiting for me...) and giving me a chance to fall in love again with your brand!
Next time I'll have all your fantastic creatures jumping on to my layouts again!
