Inspiration Galore

The Flower Girls have been hard at work and have an abundance of projects for you! Please keep checking back this week to see what else they have created!
............................................................................................................................................
July_janinelanger002_blog Janine Langer starts us off with this beautiful layout titled, "Marnie". Janine used Morning Song papers (810399) as the backdrop and then clustered an array of fun embellishments around the photo. See the unique paper cut-work? And the Belle Fleur frosted flowers (524494, 523626)? How about the title that is perfectly situated on top of everything using Times Small Chipboard alphas (810054)? PERFECTION!

....................................................................................................................................................

Thinking_of_you_front_large Ingvild Bolme created this gorgeous card using Cavalier and Lucid papers. The little touches that she adds to each of her projects add tons of dimension and depth to her projects. Just take a peek at the lock that actually opens up...and the layered papers and flowers. Belle Fleur flowers (524463, 523992), along with a vintage Prima brad (517663) all coordinate beautifully with the Cavalier (810344) & Lucid papers (601843).

..........................................................................................................................................................

Notebookcoverblog Janine Wahl created this amazing "Back-to-school" Notebook with a variety of Prima papers and embellies! Harmony (860073) and Urban Cosmos (870072) papers provide the backdrop for a gorgeous arrangement of Belle Fleur flowers (523626)! Why not try altering a few for your children or for yourself?
