paper treasures...

tarisota's july collection, paper treasures, is a stunner...

my favorite colors plus my go-to trims seam binding & baker's twine (YELLOW bakers twine!!!) and these absolutely beautiful tiny little crystals. 

this one my be the favorite of what i created this time 'round.  the heart dawned upon me out of nowhere & i was so excited to try it.  love how it turned out.

 

tamar sent me some gorgeous white gauzy fabric with my collection (will check if/when the fabric pack will be available) & it makes the BEST rolled roses! 

 

i LOVE how this layout turned out too....love those colors, so sweet & bright & fun & summery.  i love this photo of kate...she is such a wild child.  her whole personality is embodied in that crazy hair! 

 

i LOVE those white sticker letters.  it was so fun to ink them, creating this gorgeous dyed look.  for the "f" & "r" i inked them yellow first (so saffron from stampin' up) & then changed my mind & wanted blue letters, so i inked the blue next (cool carribean from stampin' up).  i LOVE how it turned out....love that slight variation in color & w/ the green tone on 2 of the letters.  see?  the best things do come from mistakes!  lol!

 

i really loved the sticker sheet included this month.  think i used almost all of the stickers on it (& i've got plans to use the others in next month's style studio :)  & that bit of vintage paper under the seam binding was the strip tamar used to keep together the seam binding.  it was too good to go to waste :)

& again w/ that white gauzy fabric....LOOOOOVE that fabric, it was so fun to work with!

 

this was the first layout i created with the collection.  i think i always start w/ a simple design, kinda like a scrappy warm up.  & the pink paislee journal cards (they come on a 12x12 page) & those girl's paperie die cuts really made creating this page easy peasy.

 

 & there's that gauzy fabric again!  i layered it over the text patterned paper to mute it just a bit.

now go check out the rest of the gallery!  it's absolutely gorgeous!!!

happy tuesday!
