January Design Team Card
Authentique Birthday CardPaperline: Authentique "Gathering"
Collection
The base of this card is triple mounted in the brown/blue side of "Reminisce", solid blue, and the orange/blue side of "Grow". A fourth piece of the "Grow" ruler is the top layer and was cut smaller to allow room for the brown pleated ribbon at the bottom of the card. I folded a second piece of the ribbon and secured it with a small brad to form the bow. I covered the brad with a pearl.
The calendar was stamped in brown ink on cream cardstock and double-matted. I used one of the scalloped pieces from the Excerpts punch-outs to frame the upper corner of the calendar and pearl flourishes and folded paper petals to embellish the front of the card.
I used two tiny pearls to highlight the month and date of the recipient's birthday. This would be a great card to make in advance - just personalize the date before sending.

January Design Team Project
Here's a recent post that appeared on Pages From the Heart's blog this week.
It feaatured a layout I created of pictures that were take of my daughter on a recent trip to the Arboretum using poses from one of my favorite reality shows "Toddlers and Tiaras". Take a look!
Paper Collection:
Authentique "Gathering" collection.
The base is the blue side of the Foundations bi-fold solid paper. I used the solid brown side for matting the picture and the layering at the bottom of the page.
I cut a 4"x12" piece of the "Grow" paper and mounted it with brown cardstock leaving an extra bit of border at the bottom - enough to frame a border of individual words from the "Diction" sheet. There are over 200 words on a single sheet of this product! I also added a scalloped border from the orange/blue side of the "Grow" paper and tied a piece of blue/white ribbon in an off-center bow.

The
larger picture is triple-mounted in cream, orange/blue, and brown cardstock and
then framed with 5 3/4" and 6" circles cut from the brown/blue and orange/blue
patterned paper. A scalloped punchout from the Excerpts sheet and some folded
paper petals accent the top of the circle. The petals are made by punching out a
3/4" circle, making an overlapping small fold and then working the edges into a
cupped petal shape with your fingers.
The
three smaller pictures were printed with larger white borders and cropped down
to 3 1/2" squares. Another calendar, framed with the negative from the punchout
sheet, has the date of the event highlighted with pearls.
