Life truly is beautiful. Our new French-themed paper packet reminds me of that whenever I look at it, both because of its name—La Belle Vie—and because of its gorgeous designs and colors. Consultant Pamela O’Connor must have seen that same beauty when she picked those papers for these projects that she submitted to me. Thank you, Pamela for giving me the chance to share your talents with my blog readers:
I love the use of this magazine-style card-holder that Pamela cut using the Cricut Artiste cartridge. The thickness of the My Reflections B&T papers makes it strong enough to hold those cards without needing to be reinforced by any thicker papers. And the rosette ribbon is a nice choice for adding a little frill to this item.
And to fill the box, Pamela has created a whole set of sympathy cards – a great application for the beautiful, muted patterns of the La Belle Vie paper pack. The sentiments all come from the Words of Comfort stamp set, and the frame images are from the “Frame it Up” set, accenting the coordinating Art Philosophy shapes.
Last, Pamela really does justice to this fun 3-D project from the Artiste cartridge. What a perfect container for a gift or a treasured keepsake. Do you recognize that little rosette cut from the ribbon on top? And the pearl opaques gems are just the right touch to adorn this box.
Thank you for sharing Pamela!
Thank you Jeanette for featuring me and thank you for all the joy you have brought into my life through Close To My Heart. Love you!
ReplyDeleteVery nice.... I love the paper. Nice pie shape.
ReplyDeleteI remember many years ago at one of our conventions you said, "if you want a beautiful life, make every square inch of it beautiful." Your comment has always stuck with me and this post reminds me of it!
ReplyDeleteI hate to say, this was not mt most favorite pattern, but the cards have turned this around. I have made the little holder out of kraft paper, and it was easy peasy, so this will go in on my next order !
