With the formalities taken care of, it's now time to share what I've created for this incredible hop! I have a lot of projects, so I'll try to keep my write up short.

First up is this super pretty scrapbook page, 
"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! 


Here's a closer view....


All.the.pretty.details!!! 
I'm always my happiest when I'm creating with indigos and blue - and I think it may just show! 
Let's look at a few close ups of these amazing new release items! 




Absolutely breathtaking! 
Watch this scrapbook page being created in my short 5 minute process video below:

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...


So beautiful!
& even better, the decals were really easy to apply too! Love it!

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!


My second card has a more elegant and feminine feel to it....


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!
I can't wait to create more - so much gorgeousness in this release!
I hope my projects have inspired you today!
