Curious

I decided to keep this layout very clean and simple (at least for me). It just about killed me to 'not' rough up the edges just a little bit or to 'not' tear the papers ever so slightly. The longer I looked at this layout, the more I realized that less was more. The collection is already so beautifully contrasting. All I wanted to see in the end was as many layers as possible of purely, gorgeous, papers.

The Olde Curiosity Shoppe Collection from Graphic 45 has the perfect mix of vintage images and bright, bold colours.  The colour combinations are out of this world and work so well together when paired with the neutral black and off-white patterned papers.  Each time I come across another new collection I think - yes, this has GOT to be the best one they've done to date.  And yet, each new collection released by Graphic 45 just gets better and better? 

I've also made a simple card with this stunning collection, combined with one of the ornate metal door knobs and some of Graphic 45's awesome packaging.  The fantastic DT Lead (and part of the actual G45 family) Charee, celebrated her birthday this week so I sent her a little card to say Happy Birthday!

I hope you all have a wonderful week. We are into our second week of Spring Break and daddy has taken some time off - which is fantastic! Firstly because he gets to spend some awesome quality time with the kiddos. Secondly because mommy booked a totally last minute vacation to Maui with her own mom and leaves in a few hours!! WHOOT HOOT!!! Cannot wait!! I will be anxious to update my blog when I return with tons of beautiful photos and a more relaxed me!! Aloha!
