from card to layout

Bright idea
When I saw Maile's card using the new Snippets collection, I knew it would make a great starting design for a layout.  I loved how she tucked that little brad under the edge of the card stock and the simple flags are so sweet.

I pretty much stuck to her overall design, but added more than just a brad along the left border.  I used some Zing embossing powders in various colors on some veneer speech bubbles as well as some Snippets brads for some extra dimension.  I also used Maile's idea of the flags coming in from each side border and added my own twist to those as well.

Why not try using a card to inspire your next scrapbook page? If you do, we'd love to see - please share it in the comments!

Nicole this is GORGEOUS! Love how you stuck to the design, but added to it! Definitely one of my favorite projects of yours EVER.

Sorry if I am off the topic but... Lot of people like me still looking for this EXCLUSIVE roller stamp for the Story Hour Studio Calico kit. We get frustrated in finding it. Please think about it and bring it back as regular instead of exclusive. I am so tired of looking for it everywhere. Thank you.
