Hello MLS fans! Today we have some fantastic projects to share with you from design team member Nicole Wragge! She's creating with our Farmers Market collection today.
What's on your plate
Designer tip: I was at a women's luncheon last month and their was this charming guest speaker who asked us all to consider what we have on our plate. Well, sadly I missed the rest of what she had to say because I immediately starting planning out this layout! The scallop paper made for a nice place mat and with the help of some Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, the Tutti Frutti paper rolled up nicely to resemble a colorful napkin. All the little things on my plate came from one of my many "lists" but I have to say seeing all the things I need to do dressed up in pretty cardstock stickers and mini alphas make me smile!
Nicole's layout is a perfect example of how we can find inspiration in our everyday life and events.
This girl can eat
Designer's tip: When I look at this line there is one thing that stands out, those darling fruit stands! I wanted to create one just a tad bit bigger to go with this photo of Avery thoroughly enjoying her lunch. I used one of the squares off of the Fresh from the Field paper as my journaling tag and then used Claudine Hellmuth's Sticky Back Canvas & Glossy Accents to create the awning of the fruit stand. The open sign was made with the minis, Cherries Jubilee & Sweet Pea paper scraps and red & white baker's twine.
Now for our card maker fans, a few fun card ideas
Designer tip: Use a corner rounder to create a different look for your cards. Don't be afraid to stack and create movement with our mini alphas.
Designer tip: Backgrounds don't always have to be images. Wall paper your background with sentiment stamps too!
Nicole shows us that the Farmers Market collection can easily be used to create a cute Happy Halloween card. We love the dimension of that pumpkin.
Thanks to Nicole for her fun projects today!
