sharing some Pink Paislee Portfolio...

hi everyone, hope you guys had a great weekend... I know that I did as I got a chance to catch up on some long over due scrapping. Over the past few weeks I've had the chance to get my hands on some of the latest collections and have been eagerly waiting for some down time from work. I think in total I complete around 6 layouts (that's a new record for me, given that I also did some major scrapbook shopping, visited my favorite japanese restaurant, caught up with some old friends and still made it to the airport with an hour to spare).

unfortunately I can't share any of the layouts that I recently created, promised some sneaks soon, but wanted to share this layout that I had completed earlier using the new Pink Paislee Portfolio collection. Don't you just love the color combination in this collection. Also have you seen the new Artisan collection - especially the fun elements and stamps... fun!!!

and here's some close ups of the various embellishments / die cuts that you'll be able to find as part of the portfolio collection....

also the new designs of the artisan element collections are definitely a must have... there's a lot of really fun and cute designs included (what do you think of that cute arrow)...

and I'll be honest, one of my favorite items from this release are the artisan element words.... these are perfect for titles and also looks great when you trace over the middle part with a marker (I used a black sharpie pen here)...

Thanks again everyone for stopping by & happy scrapping!
