Robin joins us today and has this stunning layout to share celebrating friendship and love the monochromatic feel to this layout with all the blue tones and pops of black that really pop off the layout. For her chipboard today, Robin has added some foliage pieces amongst her flower clusters and has used the Foliage Set 15 and the lovely Spring Flower Bunches. To draw your eye into the photo, Robin has added 3 of the Chevron Bits to the right pointing inwards. To finish off, Robin has used the title "these friends are the best" and has this sitting on one of the lovely Heart String Frames.

Today's inspiration is from 2022 and created by Moira Gilowey and it is titled perfectly, such a "timeless" creation and just love the colour palette with the kraft/white/black and gold, there is something luxurious about it. Likewise, Moira chose some lovely elegant pieces to adorn this feminine layout and has used the 6" Doily Clock Face tucked in at the top left, layered among an assortment of elements. Moira has then used the lovely Tangled Lamp Post pieces to the right of the photo, layering them on top of each other. The lovely flourish pieces are the Elegant Swirls and these are so feminine with their fine details and to finish off rather than a title, Moira has used the negative piece of the Fine Word Set 2, cutting the piece where the word would have been popped out of. All the chipboard has a gorgeous glossy finish achieved by heat embossing in black/gold embossing powder.

Rachael is back and has this stunning feminine layout to share of herself and her daughter from back in 2015 and its such a lovely photo and just love the elements Rachael has used on this layout. The focal point would have to be the Oversized Flower Stem sitting to the left of the photo which Rachael has altered by simply dabbing gesso randomly over the piece and I love the effect this gives. Rachael has also added some Lattice Leaves to the paper cut flowers before finishing off with her trademark Month and Date pieces which is a lovely way to remember the time of the photo.

Charmane joins us today and has this gorgeous layout featuring her son's cat who normally isn't keen on photos but Charmane seized a quick quiet moment. This paper collection matches his lovely coat and Charmane has done a beautiful job altering all the chipboard to coordinate perfectly. For this layout Charmane has added the Number Panel Pieces on the diagonal with the larger piece at the top left. Adding texture and contrast to her flower clusters, Charmane has added some Foliage 11 pieces which have been heat embossed in black/gold. Sitting up in the top right, Charmane has added Birdcage 2 with its sweet lil' birdy. To finish off, Charmane has added one of the Bulldog Clips in gold to the top of the photo and used a Word Stick "Cherish this Moment" rather than a larger title and you must pop on over to the blog to see the lovely finish on this title stick, its mottled black and gold and looks awesome, like the foliage pieces.
