Wow! So many pretties! 
(It was actually hard to only pick 4 Altenew projects - every release has so much beauty!)
But here's what I came up with.....

Sigh! So soft and elegant! 
I created this layout for the release of the Altenew: Live Your Dream collection, and let me tell you, I instantly fell in love with this beautiful scrapbook line! 

If you feel inspired by this layout, you can watch the process video for it HERE. 


Infact, I think I created a total of 14 layouts and a card or two with this stunning collection! Yes, it's that amazing!!!
Here's another layout with the Live Your Dream Scrapbook Collection....


So beautiful! 
This one featured on the Altenew You Tube Channel & you can see it come together HERE

Here's another look at this pretty collection....

The colors in the Live Your Dream collection are just stunning! 
And because the Altenew stamps & 6 x 6 paper packs are just as wonderous, I had to include a project with them too....

Just look at that stamp!!!
To make it super easy, this stamp actually comes in handy bundle set with coordinating metal dies! How awesome is that?! 
It's called, Weekend Doodles Stamp & Die Bundle, and you can get it HERE

Here's a better look at this pretty page....
So very beautiful! 
You'll also spy that gorgeous Altenew Summer Garden 6 x 6 Paper Pack trimming the edge of the layout! Isn't it just divine?!!

Sigh! Isn't this pretty?!!
The colors in the Live Your Dream collection really have my heart!
So dreamy & divine!

Here's a closer look for you....



So very beautiful!
The navy cardstock is a really elegant base & allows the Live Your Dream papers and embellishments to take center stage! Love it!

*Cut file is called Round Floral Frame & is courtesy of Handipaper.

Here's a couple close ups for you....


From pretty pattern papers, to wooden epoxy buttons, to chipboard and clear stickers, ephemera and more - this collection has it all! 



So.much.loveliness! 

Next up is a really fun page using one of the brighter and more daring pattern papers from the Live Your Dream collection....


Oh, how sweet is this?!
Such a cute puppy! 
And what a striking pattern paper! 
I've used it to cut out the heart cut file, as well as a frame for my white cardstock base. 
Gorgeous! 


To compliment the chipboard and ephemera hearts, I've backed the pattern paper cut file hearts with coordinating cardstock. So effective!


Simple & sweet!
