Well...it was quite a busy weekend on our Facebook page. We are so excited that you all really enjoyed the Trick or Treating! Thank you to all who left comments and blog love to all of our participating designers. We were all overwhelmed and touched by so many comments! Keep watching the MLS Facebook wall. We'll be announcing the winners of all the Treats later today!
Today Ilene is sharing a beautiful layout she created with our Garden Party collection.
Celebrate Spring
Oh this layout has sooo many beautiful elements and the black accents are perfect.
I love the little butterfly from our clear stamp set used here on the banners...so cute!
Designer's Tip: To make the most of your stamps, you can use them to create custom embellishments! Just stamp using the stamps that go with whichever collection you're working with using Staz On ink on Shrinky Dinks and then color with permanent markers, using whatever colors would suit your layout best. Then bake according to instructions and within minutes, you have really cute matching embellies for your layout. Here, I made little butterflies for the banner and centers for some of the flowers using this method. It's a technique that's quick, fun, easy, and very cost effective.
Have a great day!
I love your beautiful layout, Ilene!
