Hello!  Hello!

I wanted to share two projects I did with the Parfums d'Orient collection from InfoCrea, a French scrapbooking manufacturer.

You can see that I layered several journaling cards with foam adhesive and a little paper flower to create the page embellishments.  My husband asked me what the embellishments were supposed to be.  I said, "They're a playful version of plated food on a placemat."  He kind of shrugged.  What do you think?  Do you see what I'm talking about?

And then I made this card:

The dimensional scales are very easy to do.  Just cut a tongue shape, draw a white line around the edge, fold in the sides and voila!

Layer a whole bunch of them for a very cool effect! 

Thanks for stopping by!
