Spellbinders Round One Submission Valentino Album - Part 1

Today I am able to share the project I created for Round One of the Spellbinders Paper Arts Design Team Contest that took me through to Round Two - how exciting that was!

Yesterday those who made it through to Round Three were announced and sadly I was not one of them.  Was I disappointed - YES but I am grateful for the knowledge that it is God that opens and shuts doors for me, He has other plans and I am good with that - I am grateful for the opportunity and had fun along the way!!  Thank you to those of you who were so encouraging on facebook, by message or email - you made my heart smile and I appreciate each one of you!  Now onto the Album...

The decision of which Die Template to use was easy - I adore this Creative Album Die and am grateful that I have the Spellbinders Grand Calibur to cut it with as it is one of their Grand Templates

As you can see, there are lots of layers and embellishments and approximately eleven Dies used in total, I will list them all at the end of the Album!

Combined with some gorgeous Crafty Secrets Nostalgic images

and with the wonderful Layers of Color art stamps my projects came together - loving The Decorative Dress Form Die illustrated by Laura Kirste Campbell and Nina Brackett - it will be available soon ladies....

vintage lace, buttons and pearls - how could I resist them
