I know that we all have our own unique style of crafting. That’s what makes this craft fun! What is your style? Do you have a specific style that you are drawn to? My style is more on the whimsical side….
For example, I LOVE the Clementine paper packet…the colors and prints are TOTALLY ME!! Dakota and Moonlight are 2 of my other favorites in the Autumn/Winter Idea Book. Clementine and Dakota are more countryish (is that even a word??) Where Moonlight, even though it is Haloweeney (and yet another made up word!) has a more whimsical feel to it. These are the types of colors/patterns that I am drawn to….
Which brings me to my post! It was NOT love at first sight with La Belle Vie with me!! It did not give me “goosies” when I saw it! I really could not imagine in my head what I would even create with it…scrapbook pages OR cards.
WELL…the beauty of being a consultant who runs regular scrapbook groups and card classes is that even though I may not be in love with a certain paper packet, I have customers who have different styles than I do….SO I went WAY out of my comfort zone and decided to give La Belle Vie a try for my card class in December.
Each month, my card class creates 2 each of 5 different cards. How the heck was I going to come up with 1 card let alone 5 using this paper pack that I was not a huge fan of?? I just took it little by little, starting with the paper that I like MOST out of the paper pack….then just went from there!
You're so right, there are papers that we love and papers that we don't. This one happens to appeal to me LOL I think the cards you came up with are beautiful!
