Brave Layout with Alyssa McGrew

I am absolutely in love with this layout! 

Everything from the picture of Alyssa's beautiful daughter, to how the pink elements pop off the white cardstock and the combination of our canvas butterflies and felt doilies. It all works so well together - simply picture perfect!

Birthday Gift Box with Shellye McDaniel

Birthday Gift Box
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Shellye McDaniel

We are keeping with our gift box theme for another day today. Shellye used a recycled box she had at home, but wouldn't her project look lovely with one of our Pinstripe Kraft Boxes?



Shellye used two of the glitter birthday cakes and attached them together so that they would stand on top of the box.



The darling doily border was created by using five of the hot pink paper doilies. They were adhered together with a small glue dot to form a band.

 I personally love the little happy birthday banner at the top - the perfect finishing touch.
