tranquility trilogy...

Here I am again for another Papertrey Ink group post, today focusing on the new Tranquility Trilogy set and coordinating dies...all so beautiful and versatile.  Each design team member is using the set and dies in different ways and I jumped at the chance to create a layout and use the products as a border. I've found that creating layouts is one of the most enjoyable things for me right now.  I don't do them often enough, but love to bury myself in the process when I have chance.  

I die cut several triangles to create a layered border with some of them stamped with the wreath image and some showing patterned paper.  I added the stamped heart from the Bundle of Love stamp set topped with a bit of glitter.

 

I titled this layout "Lucky Blue" because of those bright peepers of hers.  You'll notice that this little tomboy of mine is kissing her horny-toad...his name is Claw and he lives under our front porch....a very important part of our family.

 

Here you can see a peek at another new stamp set, one I just adore, called Little Labels designed by Nichole and Mish.  The set comes with the absolute sweetest sentiments.  I also used the Wonderful Words die here as well...those little babies are my favorites!  Around the edges I've used several different pieces of patterned paper and die cut each using the Banner Borders die collection.  

Other supplies used here are Sweet Blush buttons, Hibiscus Burst Satin Ribbon, Pure Poppy Topnotch Twill, Pure Poppy and Rustic Cream cardstock, Damask Designs paper, True Black ink, and Rustic Cream Button Twine.

I can't wait to see what the others have created to share:

• Nichole Heady
• Heather Nichols

• Michelle Wooderson
• Maile Belles
