"Totally Awesome"
Oh my heart! Isn't this the prettiest?!!

Let's take a closer look.....
*Sigh!* So divine!
I don't even know where to begin-,
there are just SO many beautiful new products & they all coordinate perfectly together!
I instantly fell in love with the Open Blooms 3D Die Set, and couldn't help but feature a few of those blooms on my layout!
But, rather than rave, please watch my process video below:
Or, watch it in full HD on my channel HERE.
Thanks so much for watching!
I hope you feel inspired by my layout!
My second project is another scrapbook page and process video,
"Hello You"
Hello, indeed!
What a striking page!
Altenew Supplies: Tranquil Wings Stencil, Bold Greetings Die Set, Fine Frames Square Die Set, Embossing Paste, Live Your Dream Scrapbook Collection, & Watercolor 36 Pan Set.

I'm always my happiest when I'm creating with indigos and blue - and I think it may just show!

Absolutely breathtaking!

Now for something a lil different, check out the fabulous Framed Foliage Decal Set - Medium. I just love how it has lifted this lil study nook of my guest room....
So pretty!!! The blue foliage is simply stunning!
Here's another view...

Now time for a few cards.....
Ooh La La!!!
What a gor-jus card to give thanks with!
I just love the ombre background created with the Altenew Candy Coated Mini Ink Cube Bundle! I used the hot embossing technique (in opaque white powder) to apply the Hand Drawn Tile Stencil, before layering those pretty dies over the top. Simple, and yet so effective!
Altenew Supplies: Bold Greetings Die Set, Hand Drawn Tile Stencil, Fine Frames Diamond Die Set, Candy Coated Mini Ink Cube Bundle.
Oh, that floral bloom is errrrrything!!!
Just divine!

My final card for today has a more contemporary vibe....
Oh how fun!!!
That Wild Leopard Stencil is purrr-fection! (sorry, I couldn't help myself!)
Gor-jus!
And there you have it! My first creative play with these amazing new products!
