Karen here with a few Authentique projects for you. I am loving the collections by Authentique Paper! The color combinations are beautiful and it's hard to decide which are my favorite. I do like that the Blissful (more yellow) collection is very versatile in terms of whether you create more girly or boyish layouts - I created one of each and love the results. To celebrate my 40th birthday, I used mostly the Blissful collection and added a bit of the pink from the Uncommon papers. I also made my own flower accents with black twill. I used my Cricut, of course, for titles and shaped cuts.
Our family was recently blessed with a new addition - my new grand nephew, Brennan. Again, I mixed a little from the Authentique Blissful and Uncommon collections. I also got a chance to break in my new Cricut cartridge, Sophisticated (designed by Teresa Collins). I did cover the pink stamped images on one of the squares with pieces of yellow or grey paper to create a more boyish look.
In addition to these 2 layouts, I made a few more projects with this beautiful paper collection. I had a few things bought for a friend and thought I would recover them to create a more cohesive gift. I used more Authentique and my Cricut to decorate the gift bag and the small gifts. It was a fun to put together and I know my friend will appreciate it. One more project made with Authentique - a shadow box frame. I used various pieces from the Blissful collection to made the dimensional flower. Each layer is attached with foam pieces, so it sticks up pretty high from the base paper. I inked up the edges a bit before sticking them together. I also added some pearls and a bird cut from one of the papers. And of course a super cute pic of our super cute girl.
