Celebrate Layout by Helen

Hello there!  Helen here with my monthly project

for Berry71Bleu!  Isn't my tag just the cutest?!  Just

like my little girl {well she is a 'tween' now so not so

little any more!}.  Here's a look at the tag I was sent.

I used the beautiful "Summer & Latte" papers from our

Polish sponsor this month, Studio 75.

All the chipboard that you see on this layout also 

comes from Studio 75.  See their blog HERE.

I embellished with die-cuts from Pink Paislee 'Soiree' collection,

which really helped bring out the colours and add some 'zing'!

I used the new Donna Downey for Prima 'Poppies & Peonies'

stencil on my white cardstock base & hand journaled my story.

I used 4 different patterned papers from Studio 75 on this layout.

One to matt the photo, one as a punched strip, one as my base &

one for the border around the layout.  I inked all the edges to give

some depth & a bit more variation as the papers are beautifully subtle.

I used a metallic pen to doodle the circles around the edge of my

white cardstock and a thick 'Creative Memories' pen to create the

dots around the border of my photograph.  I hope you enjoyed my

page today & that your week is going well for you so far!
