My very talented friend Nat Kalbach has a beautiful line of papers out with French company Sultane.  It's called eMotions and it's so lovely!  Best of all the painty look makes it super easy to create an artsy layout in just minutes.  Here's what I was able to whip up:

SpringIsHere-sm
I simply combined these two papers…

EM05 - éMOTions... Chaleureuses et Festives - Format:30.5cm x.30
EM06 - éMOTions... Naturelles et Douces - Format:30.5cm x.30
…with a sewing machine and some chipboard letters.  And now I've got a layout with all the depth that paint and texturing creates, but my hands are completely clean!

And to answer two questions from yesterday's post:

I
love those pages! Did you print them and then did the journaling,or is
the journaling digital? Are you gonna print them?

The journaling is digital.  And I am going to print them when I get a chance.  I plan to add some paper embellishments!  I will be sure to share!

I was lucky and my Blingz was given to me by a friend, but I did a Google search and found it here and here and here.  Let me know if you like it!

Thanks for stopping by!

  • I just love to see my two favorite scrappy divas “working” on something together. I especially like how you stitched the flowers Julie.
