This amazing French Country layout was made by Sabrina Radeck and is joyfully titled "My Handsome Grandsons." The rich, saturated colors of French Country look perfect in this loving layout. Sabrina also added a lot of pretty paper layers and fussy cut elements to give this LO a timeless look. Plus we just love those adorable photos! This LO is a true treasure!
Here is an enchanting Secret Garden card that was uploaded to our Ning site by Alexandria Dodaykina. This is such a lovely card that is perfect for any occasion. Secret Garden offers so many bright and cheerful images for all kinds of cards! Alexandria created some lovely borders and added some gorgeous embellishments to give this card extra dimension and beauty. Wouldn't you love to get a card like this in the mail? It's guaranteed to bring joy to a friend or family member.
Here is a wonderful piece of altered art featuring Steampunk Spells! This whimsical altered coffee maker was uploaded to our Ning site by Giovanna Zara. This is such an inventive example of the variety of clever crafts that you can create with Steampunk Spells! This fun creation would look great as festive Halloween home decor or as a great handmade gift! You can see how all the papers and designs blend together perfectly to create a one-of-a-kind work of art!
