                                                                   Hello Everyone, Debra here to share with you my latest project for the Helmar Design Team. Days at the beach are always fun, so was creating this layout. To secure the larger background pieces,I used Spray Adhesive. I always take this glue outside to use, ensure you use in a well ventilated area.   Close Up 1 Shells and Art Stones are adhered using the Helmar Acid Free Glue.

Hello Everyone,  Can't believe the first month of 2024 has come to an end already. Today I am sharing my inspiration layout for February for Denise Boddey Designs. I have created a double page layout, using the new Enchantment Collection. I used white cardstock as the base for my layout. I used 3 different sheets of paper from the collection to create my layout. I fussy cut elements from the papers,  Using these elements, I layered them backing each piece with thin cardboard, then layered the pieces until I was happy  With the look of it all. I then used the ornate frames, cutting  each into 2 pieces , then adding them  into my  layout. I heat embossed the Word title, YOU, with green embossing powder, then added to my layout to complete it. Above and following are close ups of my layout. I loved the Toadstools,  the flowers and all the images from the collection Hope you like what I have created. Debra.

I then added some colour over the texture paste using Oxide ink. Next I started to layer my fussy cut elements, adding foam tape to the back of each piece to add height and seperate my layers.
