Everyday Moments

In just over a week, I am attending my first craft retreat of the fall, and I will be teaching a couple classes. This layout is one of the classes I am prepping to teach using the Everyday Essentials Mix and Match designer series paper and the Capturing Smiles and Bordered in Beauty stamp sets.


One of my bases is a piece of 12" x 12" cardstock and the other is a piece of designer series paper. 


The Capturing Smiles stamp set also has a coordinating die set that is super cute, but I did not use it on this layout.


Supplies:
Capturing Smiles, Bordered in Beauty
Memento Black, Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie ink
Basic White, Bubble Bath, Misty Moonlight, Lost Lagoon card stock
Everyday Essentials Mix and Match dsp

There is still time to come and join us at the upcoming retreat!
