The layout I made for this blog hop was so much fun! I'm already used to playing with dies since I've been on die-team before so this was going back in time! Couture Creations offers beautiful dies & embossing folders to work with. The picture is one of my nieces on a birthday party about three weeks ago they always love to pose for their aunty!

2 Blissfully Discover Sisterhood:



For this layout I used the gorgeous "Coffee in the Arbour" collection by Maja Designs this collection goes so well the dresses of my nieces {well I think so}


I really love that embossing folder and those girl dies I knew exactly what I was going to do with them.
I'm totally in to soft yellow at the moment instead of pink :-)))


Words dies are always fun to use in sentences with my....
I did some embossing on the Imaginarium Design fence piece with two different kinds off embossing powder
{Stampendous aged taupe & Shabby White} 
  

On the dies I placed some Jewels {The Avenues} by BoBunny to give it a extra flair!! The pretty lace is form Tresors de Luxe!
