Get in the Mood, Spring is Here!!!

Mood Boards, have you tired them yet?  This mood board posted at the Zeus and Zoe blog totally got me loving the mood and I could not stop.  I am sharing one of my happiest layouts created today on this  beautiful spring day with leading manufacture's in our paper craft industry.  Share a cheer with them all to say how magically they can contribute to a layout as a collaborative team.
starting out with the mood board
While you are at Zeus & Zoe's look at their kits for sale.
My layout features some of their May Arts ribbon and Ruby violet flower packages.
 May Arts ribbon and Couture Creations are sponsoring the May mood board.
 What did i just say?  Well look closely, I love their products.



This was a beautiful baptism day for my niece.  The spring magnolia tree had started to bloom and the white of her dress and bonnet made the photo so enjoyable.  Starting with the embellishments from the Zeus Zoe Kits, I used gesso and ink on the flowers to give them the white washed look to match the paper collection from Core’dinations Cardstock.
To continue with the spring feel to the layout I painted gesso on the chipboard by ScrapMatts and heat embossed my stamped image and sentiment  with jasmine inx/powder.  I am loving the Couture Creations embossing folders from the fresh and fun collection.  They are so natural with a tropical flair which suits my collection of photo’s




 ScrapMatts has a perfect challenge where they have asked to have stamping on your project along with their chipboard.  See how beautiful and delicate the ScrapMatts chipboard blends with my photo.  Unity Stamp Co., had the perfect stamp set for this layout, hence the title of the layout.  I am entering the color challenge at Unity, check it out.
Dream with Your Heart


Did I mention that Core'dinations Cardstock has endless possibilities?  Give yourself a treat and visit their website and blog.  Core'dinations has a library of video's and a wonderful gallery of creative artwork.  It's all about the colored core which gives you layers of texture to all of your projects.



Let me know what your favorite part is about this layout and please do visit these leader's within our industry and become members of their community.

  2. WOW!!! Pure eye candy here! What an elegant page! It's absolutely brilliant the way you've torn the edges creating a pattern, just brilliant! The soft coloring and flowers is just wonderful, and the soft inking provides great shadow. Thank you for getting inky with us this week here at Simon Says Stamp & Show!
