enjoy THIS MOMENT

Hi there! I have spring fever already! Today's high temp is 81 degrees and I'm lovin' it! Today I have a couple of projects to share featuring beautiful papers from the latest Pion Design Paris Flea Market collection. If you will be attending the CHA show in the upcoming days, be sure to stop by the Pion Design booth where you will be sure to find stunning and inspiring samples!
First up is a layout featuring a photo of my sweet daughter Angie that was taken last spring while we were shopping at an outdoor antique marketplace:
I layered a variety of pretty papers from the Paris Flea Market collection:
then surrounded Angie with die cut foliage, butterflies and a doily all made using pretty papers from the Paris Flea Market collection:


 For the layout sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Sketch - N - Scrap sketch challenge:
If scrapping is not your thing, here is a card featuring pretty papers from the  Paris Flea Market collection:
and for the card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the Sketch - N - Scrap sketch challenge:

    Both of your projects are absolutely stunning, Mona!! The papers are gorgeous!! The photo and layout of Angie are so beautiful!! The details you added are perfect!! And the card is fabulous!! I love that pretty heart and flower!!

    I'm so jealous of your 81 degree weather...it's -30 here with the wind chill. So not fun!! Have a great day :)

    I always look closely at your designs, because I do love your layouts. But your cards are so lovely too. These are gorgeous as always.
    The weather in the Neterlands is not that great, but we have been in lovely temperatures on La Palma, Canary Islands the past two weeks... so no complaining here!
