Hello friends and welcome to my blog!
Can you believe how quickly this summer is flying by? It's already almost the middle of August!
Recently, Laura Bomber of Our Creative Corner asked me if I would be a guest designer for them. It took me about a nano second to say "yes!". She is such a talented artist as are ALL of the members of Our Creative Corner's Design Team. I have always been such a fan of Laura's art. Her style is something that really "clicks" with me. It's very vintage/shabby chic. Her attention to detail and the artistic quality of her work just blows me away. Not only is her art amazing, but she is such a sweet and genuine person. It has been so fun working with her.
The theme is for this challenge at Our Creative Corner is appropriately enough "Summertime". So I have used some of my favorite things to create this lovely Tim Holtz Small Folio.
For a complete photo tour of the folio, the products I used and a tutorial, slip on over to Our Creative Corner HERE. And, if you'd like to leave a comment here and there, I'd really appreciate that! I love reading your thoughts.
Enjoy the week and I hope this piece will inspire you to enter the Summertime challenge!
Candy, this is amazing! So much to see, I think a project of that size would overwhelm me! Nikki x
ReplyDeleteHi Nikki. Thank you so much for stopping by Our Creative Corner and then leaving a nice comment here as well. Actually, you would be amazed how easy the folios are to put together. The inside and outside of the folio are simply covering them with paper. The waterfall section in the middle is where the REAL fun is. As creative and talented as YOU are, I think yours would be amazing! The joy of creating the interior pages are that they can be made out of anything and be as complicated or as simple as you want them to be. Little pockets and envelopes for stashing "stuff" make them more interesting. :) Thanks again for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment. <3
