My Mind's Eye Guest Designer
Yup, that's me! :) I was thrilled to be asked to play with the Lost & Found 3 Oliver collection for Hanukkah. This line combines gorgeous and elegant blue, yellow, cream, and gray patterned papers and embellishments with touches of gold glitter.First, I created a set of eight tags:
Using my Silhouette, I cut eight 3" wide tags from cream cardstock. I then ran several of the patterned papers from the 6" X 6" paper pad through my Silhouette, cutting out the number words and small banner elements. I added in stickers, dimensional stickers, buttons, and chipboard to further embellish the tag set. While I plan to use this to create a mini album once Hanukkah is over, these tags would also work as gift tags, a Hanukkah calendar, or could be used across a 2-page layout along with photos and journaling.
I had some small banner die cuts left over after I created the tags, so I used them on this layout. One of my favorite things about the Lost & Found 3 Oliver line are the embosed patterned papers. The blue quatrefoil and yellow hexagon 12" X 12" papers are embossed, perfect for adding a bit of texture and elegance to any project. Strips of these papers against the yellow damask pattern make me happy! It also makes me happy that I was able to have the curve of the "w" in my title lead right into the curve of my son's shoulder in the photo collage - love it when little details like that come together!
