Guest Designing for Melissa Frances Day 2

Hi there! Thanks so much for the kind and encouraging comments yesterda that many of you took the time to leave not only on my blog but on the Melissa Frances blog as well. I truly appreciate the support more than you may know :) In case you missed yesterdays post, please click HERE. I am back today with another project featuring the Melissa Frances C'est La Vie collection along with many other bits and bobs of her beautiful products!

Today I have a decorated shadow box FULL of fabulous Melissa Frances products to share including more photos of Scott and I that were taken on the streets of Venice, Italy.
One of my favorite Melissa Frances products are the beautiful resin embellishments like the Sweet Cherubs shown below:
The panel below features tags from the C'est la Vie Tag Collection paired with an Architectural Molding Applique resin piece:
I made a fan fold embellishment using pretty Green Honeycomb patterned paper and finished it off with a resin blossom from the Blossom Assortment. The sweet double layered banner trim is from the C'est la Vie Border Banners.
Thanks so much for visiting! I would greatly appreciate you stopping by the Melissa Frances blog ~ click HERE ~ to say Hey! :) I hope you have a great day!
Be Sweet :)post signature
