So Sad...

That people do this kind of thing?? A company called Cradle's HappyBaby has used SEVERAL scrapbook layouts from OTHER designers (mine included) and simply slapped their own photo DIRECTLY over the original photo and claimed as their own and USED in their magazine!! I am appalled!!

Here is the link to the layout they stole from me - a RECENT layout I created for Petaloo.

Its just so sickening that people would do this? I am totally okay with people using my layouts for inspiration or even having people flat out lift my creations providing proper credit is given. When one of MY creations is flat out stolen, that is simply NOT okay. HORRID....


** UPDATE ** It seems as though the entire album has been removed from the online world - I cannot access the link now - a good thing (I told them to remove the photo ASAP!). Either FB has removed it due to all the complaints or the company has removed it. I think I may need to watermark my future work? Thank you all so very much for your support - means so much to me :>

Halloween in Wonderland Mini

It is with GREAT pleasure that I can finally present to you, the October Mini Album Kit from Scrap That! - Halloween in Wonderland.

With its famous vintage flaire and bold & bright colours, Graphic 45's Halloween in Wonderland papers were the perfect fit for this month's album kit. I am so excited that I had the opportunity to work with this gorgeous line and this wonderful mini album.

The endless fussy cutting possibilities and inspiring patterns in these papers make designing your pages effortless when combined with the beautiful and unique embellishments included in the kit.

If you would like to order the October Mini Album Kit which includes step by step instructions to make the mini album on my site, head on over to Scrap That! (kits are limited)

Enjoy the weekend!!

New Petaloo

I've got a few Petaloo project to share with you today.

The first features Petaloo's gorgeous new Chantilly Collection.

I created this layout for a friend who just gave birth to her first child. I thought this was such a sweet photo of her little girl and with the tones in her skin I thought it would be perfect for this new line.
I just love the deep hues in these blooms and combined with rich, warm browns it's the perfect mix of fall colours!


Petaloo Products Used:

Flora Doodles Bristol Box Blend (Orange/Green/Brown/Red)
Chantilly Mixed Blossoms in Green
Chantilly Mixed Velvet Hydrangeas in Green

The second project I wanted to share with you all features Hydrangeas from Petaloo's Chantilly Collection. I wanted to create a project completely different than my first to showcase the versatility of these amazing products.

Blue Sky Holiday is a layout I created of my sister and I while vacationing in Hawaii last spring.

Just love the delicate sparkles on these blooms and the gorgeous earthy tones. These flowers pair wonderfully with Petaloo's Bristol Box Blends which I have also used on this layout.

What a different look you can achieve by adding some lighter papers and flowers!
