Project Life with Kat Benjamin

Kat Benjamin is here today with a Project Life spread to share.  Kat share with us some thoughts about this spread.  She said:

"I love Curtsey Boutique's embellishments for Project Life.  I really believe the products work with all kinds of

creative styles.  I love adding sparkle to my projects, so the glitter stars and butterflies in the shop are perfect for that.  I also used one of my cards from my May tutorial to add a little extra sparkle and interest to the spread."

Kat used these Curtsey Boutique Products on this delightful spread:
Clear Polycello Bags
Christmas Glitter Stars
Medium Glitter Butterflies
Shabby Chic Book Page Stars
Heart Straight Pins
Hand Dyed Doilies

I am thrilled that the spring flowers are just beginning to bud here in Marietta and I thought what better way to celebrate winter's ending than sharing one last winter themed card with you.

Andrea Amu had this sweet glittery piece published in the January issue of Cricut Magazine. Midst the layers are Curtsey Boutique glitter and book page stars.

DT Call Reminder and A Visa Trip with Alyssa McGrew

It's Friday!  Welcome to the weekend.  First up today is a quick reminder that our Design Team Call ends on Sunday.  We are enjoying all of the incoming applications and can't wait to see yours!  All the details can be found HERE.

We also have a layout to share today from DT Coordinator Alyssa.  Alyssa is currently living in Eastern Europe, and created this layout to commemorate the last day of travel required to secure their family visas.  Since photos are not permitted at most embassy locations, Alyssa cleverly created the layout with photos of the hotel breakfast her family enjoyed prior to picking up the new visas.

Alyssa started with a bold background paper, then used one of our 6-inch doilies to create a clean space on  which to build her title.  The book page stars from the shop add lots of interest while allowing this page to still feel almost monochromatic.

Thanks for coming by today!  Check out all the new additions and everyday staples in the shop by clicking HERE.

We are taking a brief pause from all the holiday festivities to share this lovely layout by Alyssa.

Alyssa shares, "My brother took this amazing photo of my nephew, and it just begged to be scrapped.  I wanted to created a layout with lots of layers without detracting from the photo.  My stash of perfectly neutral products from the store fit the need perfectly."

Framed Christmas Decor with Andrea Amu

Andrea shares a very quick and easy project she likes to do for the holidays.She finds an easel frame and removes the glass. She than inserts a piece of 5 x 5 cardstock to fit into it.  

The frame can be embellished to fit any holiday. Andrea simply changes out the embellished cardstock from one holiday to the next!  Since the glass is removed you can have fun layering embellishments and make things look more three dimensional.  

For this Christmas framed décor scene Andrea used all Curtsey Boutique notions, including a glittered star and reindeer, a burlap tree, a book page star and fabric die-cut letters.  

Andrea also shows a sneak peek of our fabric letters which are cardstock fused to fabric and will be available soon in the shop.

I find scrapping my husband and male relatives to be a bit of a challenge so I am absolutely in love with Connie's neutral toned layout. Her use of vintage inspired imagery, burlap and office themed ephemera is perfect for highlighting the important men in her life.
