Live Your Dream | Altenew Blog Hop!

Hey everyone! Today I have a couple of fun projects to share with you using the brand new scrapbooking collection from Altenew: Live Your Dream.

This collection is so beautiful. I love the deep and vibrant colours with the awesome watercolour patterns. I had a blast creating these two 12x12 layouts and I hope you'll also scroll to the bottom to click through everyone else's projects. AND find out how you can win $50 and $30 gift certificates!

'Strike A Pose' Layout


For this layout I was inspired to use some of the fire-y colours and vibrant watercolour patterns. I used this adorable peacock cut file (designed by Paige Evans) and backed it with a single piece of patterned paper. I then stitched around each 'feather' for even more texture.

One of my fave embellishments in this collection is the clear floral stickers. I decided to make them into die-cuts by sticking them to some white cardstock and fussy-cutting them out. I clustered them around my photo and cut file and then I created my title using the black puffy script alphas and placed them over the floral clusters.

'Hooray!' Layout


I followed a similar process to create this second layout. This time I was inspired by the large 'hooray' chipboard title and I created a layout documenting a photo from my friends' wedding. I used this tiered cake cut file (again, designed by Paige Evans) and backed it with a patterned paper and stitched around the edge for more definition.

I placed a large chipboard flower piece on top of the cake, and used a combination of clear and chipboard stickers to cluster around the photo and cake. And I also used some of the small wooden epoxy buttons in the centre of the flowers for some fun detail!

  48. A GREAT SPELL CASTER (DR. EMU) THAT HELP ME BRING BACK MY EX GIRLFRIEND.
    Am so happy to testify about a great spell caster that helped me when all hope was lost for me to unite with my ex-girlfriend that I love so much. I had a girlfriend that love me so much but something terrible happen to our relationship one afternoon when her friend that was always trying to get to me was trying to force me to make love to her just because she was been jealous of her friend that i was dating and on the scene my girlfriend just walk in and she thought we had something special doing together, i tried to explain things to her that her friend always do this whenever she is not with me and i always refuse her but i never told her because i did not want the both of them to be enemies to each other but she never believed me. She broke up with me and I tried times without numbers to make her believe me but she never believed me until one day i heard about the DR. EMU and I emailed him and he replied to me so kindly and helped me get back my lovely relationship that was already gone for two months.
