Melanie's Monday post...on Thursday!

We had such a blast with Basic Grey this week at BlueMoon, my regular Monday post will be featured today...Thursday!

This layout is from the Fresh Escape Kit. I used the lighter colors from the kit to really make my photos POP!

WISH MAKER

I started out with a backside of the Basic Grey paper and layered it with the Hambly Studio peacock feather transparency. I really like the way that came out. I did cut some from the middle of my layout to give my eye a landing spot somewhere on this layout.

And this is where it lands...right on the Pink Paislee Artisan Element Frame. A while back I bought myself the new ChipArt Tool by Melody Ross, GCD Studios. It works awesome on the Artisan Frames. I used the alphabet to punch the phrase, make a wish, and rubbed on some distress ink, used some brown Maya Road mist to get into the little nooks to make it stand out and rubbed the rest of. Very easy!

 

here's a bigger photo.

It's fun to see all the different elements come together on a page. I used the Ranger Liquid Pearls, Pink Paislee Cork Buttons, Prima Flower, K & Co Dragon Fly, the Artisan Rubber Frame

Here's a quick peek of the Fresh Escape kit, please visit the BlueMoon store for more details on this kit and many more!

Have a wonderful day!

Memorial Day Monday with Melanie!!! and a new kit...

Happy Memorial Day! I hope everyone is having a safe and happy holiday!

Today I'm going to share my first layout from the Newest BlueMoon kit called Fresh Escapes.  The colors are perfect with the different shades of greens, blues, oranges, with a touch of black and lovely accent color of coral.

This is my first layout from the kit...

if i could pick the best brother, I'd pick you

I did lots of layering with the different papers, coral trim, Pink Paislee clear border stickers. I ever stitched a bit on the blue paper.

I had fun making these flowers. I used the Pink Paislee Pleated Ribbons. With the green piece, I cut the length in half and sewed the ends together to make the pleated flower and topped it off the the Pink Paislee Cork Buttons. (which is one of favorite things that came out this past winter!) To finish off the flower, I used the gray pleated ribbon for a stem.

I used a different set of alpha that came in the kit, I think it's fun to mix up the font and font sizes. Which you can still do because there are not 1 but 2 sets of alpha's included in the kit!

Would you like a peak of the fun, fresh kit!?!??!? Here ya go!

You can read about the contents and purchase this limited kit on the BlueMoon site!
