My Mind's Eye has a lovely new line out: Andrea Victoria.  It is great for both girlie and masculine layouts.  the fabulous chipboard lowercase alpha's I used are from Creek Bank Creations.  you can also get this great paper at the CBC store!

tips.
machine sew random stitches at a border.
outline bare chipboard letters.
make photo corners out of coordinating paper. (I used a regular photo corner as my template.)


make a rolodex card with your scraps!!!!

cover chipboard alphas w/ pp.
print pictures in a row in order to fit more on an 8x8 page.
layer die cuts as an easy embellishment!
