a little bit of collage press...

For my Collage Press assignment this month, I used the sweet shoppe collection as all I can think about lately, is the yummy yummy mango that we can get in Thailand. We bought some at the supermarket here in Singapore last week and had to throw away one (out of three) as it was just too too sour to eat. I would highly like to recommend that if you are ever in Bangkok - don't forget to stop by a dessert store call "Mango Tango" - guarantee that you'll love it!

For this layout... I first started with a bit of misting at the top of the cardstock page (ever since I got my maya road mists - I haven't been able to put them down) and just love how the misting pattern blends with the those of the papers.

And to give the page a more vintage feel, I also distressed the edges of the pleat with a sanding block... and just love the effect. Will definitely be doing more of this in the future.

Don't forget to check out the Collage Press blog for more details... and also coming soon... details on the new collection! Unfortunately I can't say too much at the moment... but will definitely be "refreshing" one **wink**

and do you remember this layout... thank you 7Gypsies and can't wait to start working with the stamps (still waiting for them to arrive thou)!!

and as always, thanks for stopping by :)
