1. I met my husband doing traditional Irish set dancing... 
2. I speak French fluently having lived in France as an au pair for a year. 
3. I was a quilter before I became obsessed by papercrafting, love to use sewing on layouts!
4. I have lived in Ireland for 16 years and still have a strong American accent.
5. I backpacked alone from England to Egypt when I was 23, made amazing friends and memories along the way.

I pulled out my Prima Delight papers and embellies again for this layout. I just love this bubbly background page, lots of texture and soft colors on this one.

I used lots of scraps to layer under my photo. The photo is of Aisling during a forest walk we took back in June, exploring the woods and looking for fun things to collect. I also used some of the paper to make a few flowers for the layout and punched out a butterfly from the Martha Stewart Monarch punch.


I added some UmWow Chevron Confetti, a ticket, and a couple of the Flairs from the Delight collection.


I fussy cut the bird and ruler images from the paper collection, then added lots more bubbly circles using my Heidi Swapp Confetti Stencil and some molding paste. I added a little stamping and some

And because I had a gorgeous fussy cut teacup I decided not to use on the layout, and lots of leftover papers and embellies, I whipped up this card with the leftovers... Love when I can do that!!

Like all scrapbookers, card markers or mixed media artists I am addicted to supplies and what better way to have up to date and a variety of products at my finger tips than belonging to the Frosted Designs Design Team.
Before I share with you a layout I created using products from the store let me share with you a little bit about myself. I am a stay at home mother of 2 who likes to spend as much time as I can creating, getting messy and exploring new products and techniques.

Butterflies, tulips, peacocks and the smell of rain are a few of my favourite things. I supose I should add my husband and 2 children to this list. My favourite colours would have to be purple, pink, aqua and grey. Things that I dislike are spiders, brussel sprouts, onion and the smell and taste of mangoes (yuck).

My favourite products to use at the moment would have to be the Dylusion Inks. It means getting messy and running around with ink staining my hands for a couple of days afterwards but I don't mind, that is the enjoyment of creating.

In this layout I have used 6x6 Echo Park Beautiful Life Paper Pad, Heidi Swap Stencil - Butterflies, Prima Flowers - Paquita, Um Wow - Dream A Little Dream Flairs and Dylusion Inks Sprays - Funky Fuscia and Calypso Teal and American Crafts Cardstock - White

 A close up of the gorgeous Prima flower, they have so much texture.

It was easy to add a title to my layout with the UmWow flair. My daughter is a dreamer at times and this flair was just perfect.

Would love for you to come visit me at http://deezignerpapercraft.blogspot.com.au/

Happy Creating

Hi Everyone!   Lydia  here and I'm the challenge host here at Frosted Designs today.  My challenge for you is "Creativity with Texture".  You can add texture your card, layout, or off the page project any way you like... I used a stencil!

I started with these supplies....  Heidi Swapp's butterfly stencil with Golden Molding Paste, Dylusions Ink Spray, and the Um Wow Heart Confetti.


And I turned it into this....


I hope you will join us for the "Creativity with Texture" challenge.  Don't forget to check out the Frosted Designs shop for great products including those I have used here.
