Burlap Pinwheel Gift Bag with Jenifer Cowles

Jenifer shares a whimsically embellished gift bag. I love how she topped with a burlap pinwheel and several layers of our rosettes. 

She reports, "These were so much fun to make, take some burlap and create a pinwheel, use stacking rosettes for the center and a straw for the stick.  All tied up with some fabric and ribbons and you have the perfect party topper for your goodie bags."

Altered Rock Star Frame with Kristin Greenwood

I find scrapping my son so much more challenging than scrapping my three girls, so I love it when I see great ideas for boy layouts. This altered frame and layout by Kristin is a perfect mixture of edge and embellishment. 

The close up below shows the fantastic way in that she embellished our chalkboard hearts. She gave them a hard masculine edge by embossing them then rubbing them with gold and silver ink. I also love how she distressed the edges of the fabric rosettes - the perfect way to play down their ruffled lightness.

It's a Small World with Jenifer Cowles

Today we are sharing this stunning layout from DT Member Jenifer Cowles.  Jenifer says:

"Using some golds, creams and whites on my Layout of "It's a Small World" I was able to really let the details in the picture stand out." 

Jenifer used glitter pennants, felt doilies, french doilies, and ivory rosettes from the shop to create this amazing page.  Check out all of these supplies HERE.

Kraft and Woodgrain Card with Jess Mutty

Today we have another amazing card to share, this one from DT Member Jess Mutty.

 Jess says: Sometimes I really just love the simplicity of a neutral color scheme. You can really make the most of textures with basic kraft and white.  Today's card has lots of rich layers of paper doilies, felt, seam binding, rosettes, and more.

The background is from an embossed kraft bag with parts of white paper doilies on top.  The flower is actually formed from eight book page hearts folded in half.  I also used some fab white banner stickers and cut a notch in some doubled up kraft tape for coordinating banners.

Shabby Chic Card with Jess Mutty + New Release - Glitter Clothes Pins, Painted Buttons & Mini Ruffle Flowers

Shabby Chic Romantic Card

I'm not usually one for pastels but there is something about all the romantic Curtsey Boutique embellishments that makes me want to play with soft colors and everything pretty. 

I used a ton of stuff on here.  The fabric in the middle is actually cut from a muslin bag.  I folded and sewed a paper doily on top and layered some flowers and a wood button. 

And how cute are these new little clothespins!? I used one here to clip the book page heart and glitter banner to the upper corner.  So sweet!

Life is in the Details Layout with Jess Mutty

I used a ton of girly goodness on this page.  I created a more eclectic layout so I had room to add all kinds of great Curtsey Boutique embellishments. 

I started with a base of a couple of doilies and built my photos on top of them.  But I love layers and layer I did! The pink paper rosettes were a sweet choice, along with a felt flower and a petite fabric bow clustered around the photo area.  I echoed the rosette at the top corner on top of a few glitter banner pieces. 

I also really loved the twine on this page.  I got creative and made a tassel for the chevron embossed tag and then trailed some around the banner, too.  Fun!
