Good morning lovelies. 

Did you enjoy all the projects made with all the lovely new Fall & Winter Holiday releases?

 I really enjoyed looking at everyone's work, so many new ideas pop up in my mind. 

Although I am not such a fan of Christmas & Halloween dies these babies make make me sing {and believe me I can't sing}!

 So you probably will see me make more of those kind of cards around that time but for now I made a 8x8 layout again as promised. As maybe many of you know I am a sucker for Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies so this layout is loaded with many of these wonderful dies.

My Fabulous Men: 

A couple weeks back we took a selfie with our dog {Fibi my princes} only my husband did not have his sunglasses on so it looks like he pooped in his pants lol....hihihi!

For this layout I used the gorgeous "Nyhavn" collection by Maja Design which is by far my most favorite collection to design with ever not sure why but probably because there are so many masculine elements.   

I used part of the B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip as a center for my build a flower die. I firstly made the flowers petals wet and wrinkly, then layered them on top of a circle I cut out just like I wanted it to be. The word men was made with partly the B410 - My {set of 2} and the other two letters came out of the FS171 - Delicate Lace Script!

Good morning lovelies.

Oh boy I am back on the roll making 8x8 layouts again...it's not that hard if you are fortunate enough to work with the prettiest dies, papers and embellishments there are in this market. For this layout I used the pretty "Enchanted Forest"collection by Graphic 45. 

It has such beautiful colors and prints on it that you are totally swooned with it the moment you get them in you hands. I really went overboard using so many dies lol, but it was worth it.  At least that's what I think. 

True Love Never Grows Old

For this layout I used a lot of layers and I have to say I almost used half of my 8x8 paper pad! I just couldn't stop adding more and more {well I know that's a habit of mine}. The background paper is called brilliant gem and that is my favorite sheet for sure....I sprayed some white spray on it and then added paste using my favorite stencil. Let's have a closer look: 

 If you know me a little you must know I love metal pieces on my work especially on my layouts...so here I used a bunch of them like the buckle which is amazing to use.  It adds so much to you work. 

I distressed all my edges of the paper and moistened & wrinkled my flowers like on my last layout.
