Hi there!  Nathalie DeSousa with you today sharing my first blog post as part of the Creative Scrapbooker Magazine team. I am very humbled and excited to share a bit of my work with you all, so what better way to show you my style than to create a 12×12 scrapbook page that combines a bit of mixed media and the beautiful Bliss Collection from Simple Stories.All those beautiful and soft colors in the collection are perfect to document spring and new beginnings, so I pulled a cut file from the Silhouette library, and backed it with papers from the collection.To add dimension to this page, some Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares were used to attach the cut out to the background.    A bit of distressing on the top edge of the page provided the perfect place to add a small cluster of embellishments.Some of the floral motifs were fussy cut from different papers from the collection, and then added along with other embellishments in clusters around the picture. Finally to complete and balance the page, a small cluster of embellishments was created at the bottom edge of the page. All those soft colors are the perfect background for this picture of my daughter in one of our walks at spring time.I hope this serves as inspiration.
Remember to check the beautiful Simple Stories Bliss collection.
Thank you so much for visiting.
XOXO
