March Paper Trail Blog Hop - Stella

Welcome to the Paper Trail and thanks for stopping in! This month we are featuring the Stella paper packet from Close to My Heart. If you've arrived from Vicki's blog, Wizard's Hangout, you've already seen some great artwork and you are well on your way. If this is your first stop, don't worry. Our hop is circular so you can start anywhere!


From the first, I was enthralled by the colors in this paper, and the sewing theme in the flower petal and pattern piece paper. I also fell in love with the Stella Canvas Shapes - the Complements that coordinate perfectly with this paper packet.







The colors in Stella looked like they were made for my Easter photos from last year, so I created this layout inspired by a Page Map sketch.

I used the Art Philosophy Cricut cartridge to cut my title block in two sizes and attached the top one with dimensional adhesive. (It is created from both sides of one piece of B&T paper.)

I used the zip strip, a bit of cocoa ribbon and some of the Complements Canvas Shapes to round out this creativity themed layout.

If you want to see some more creativity, hop on along to Betsy's blog, Stamp Scrap Fever! I'm sure you won't be disappointed.
