Smile Card for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Goodmorning everyone, 

Don't you just love the word dies by Cheery Lynn Designs well this one makes me smile from ear to ear. While I am writing this post it's poring with rain and snow {luckily the melting one} why is the warmer weather still not here I wonder. Today I want to show you a happy spring card with some new dies I got just last week. 

For this card I used "Vintage Spring Basics" by who else then Maja Design. 

Smile:

As you see it's out of many layers again and lots of distressing {but I didn't us my sewing machine this time}. Purple is my most favorite color to scrap if it's card, layouts or altered projects I love to hear in a comment {here or on the Cheery Lynn Designs blog} which color is your favorite to scrap and then I will have surprise for one or maybe two of you ;-)

Underneath the CAFR-23 - Square Frames {set of 3} I used some cheesecloth to give it more of a shabby chic feeling I think the B338 - Black Eyed Susan Strip is one of my favorite flowers to make because it's such a fun and easy one with a lot of volume. 

They really stand out one you projects!

Fabulous Summer 8x8 Layout for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Good morning lovelies. 

Don't you just love the North America collection at Cheery Lynn Designs and did you already hop with us? I for sure had fun with the "Florida"die! But that's not all, there is a wonderful new release coming up in May too. 

I am so excited for it and I can't wait to show you my work. 

Today I'd like to share a 8x8 layout I made with the "Vintage Summer Basics" collection by Maja Design and this time I went for the earth colors & blue. 

Fabulous Summer:

The picture I used is one of my beautiful nieces Jamie who was born in Florida but now she moved somewhere else in the States. Don't you just love that sea?  It's so pretty it makes me long for summer even more. On the base of my layout I painted with some white gesso and then I added some paste with a stencil of dots by Finnabair. On those dots I added some pretty star dust stickles to make it shine a bit.  I also did that with the text.  

The first time I was on this amazing design team I got the B394 - Ships Anchor & the B395 - Ships Compass as a new release and I thought well I need to use them again that's why I ordered the B279 - Sand Dollar & Starfish & the B267 - Seahorse Family to have more of those kind of dies.
