January 25, 2022
Check out this week's Guest Creator! We held a Dream Team Challenge to select 2 Dream Team members who would each create 2 projects we would be share on my blog on alternating months' from Jan-June.
This month's Dream Team member is Valerie Eilman...she's been a Stampin'Up! demo in past years and has joined our stampers more recently
Valerie enjoys memory keeping and her daughter is a dancer so her first project to share with us is not a surprise...it's a beautiful memory page of her dancing daughter.
Yes, both page and daughter are stunning...best of all we're giving you the directions below to re-create this page for your own memory keeping page. The foundation is Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper and ephemera set along with coordinating cardstocks.
Here's a bit closer look at the details...with layers of leaves and a kaleidoscope of butterflies...
Here's another detailed view in the upper left corner...
