Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm sharing with you the wonderful double layout for this month's Layout of the Month! Helen has selected Ultimate Craft's stunning 'Bohemian Bouquet' range to create two pages filled with beautiful hand-dyed flowers, elegant laces and intricate fussy cut designs.

Hi Lovelies, Today's post is a bit of a unique one! We're showing you three different ways you can use the same paper range. We have created a Mixed Media page, Layout and Mini Album  using 'Chesterville' by Blue Fern Studios.

All three projects are very different. To see more of each project and how it's been created,  simply click on the picture!

The coordinating Blue Fern  flowers have also be...
