First Girls Weekend

One of the blogs I like to stalk is Shimelle Lain's. She runs a regular challenge called Starting Point where she  gives you the base of a layout and then her finished layout and you give it a go with your own products. Here is the link to the most recent Starting Point post.

Since I am now the proud owner of a whole box full of new Stampin' Up! products, I got busy this afternoon. Here's what I came up with ...

It's a bit out of my normal style but I have been watching Shimelle (and her alter-ego Glitter Girl) create layouts with piles of layers and I just love them! 

Here's the finished layout.

This is the Comfort Cafe Designer Series Paper and it is SO YUMMY!! Soft Suede (my favourite of the Neutrals), Cajun Craze, Pool Party, Very Vanilla and Midnight Muse - one of my new favourites from the 2012 - 2014 In Colours Collection.

And the butterflies ... as soon as I saw the new butterfly punch and matching stamp set I knew it would be on my first order. It does not disappoint! Other new items are the Ticket Duo Punch, the Simply Serif Alphabet stamps, the Flowering Flourishes stamp and the Bigz Alphabet Typeset dies for the Big Shot.

Aren't those little butterflies darling?

Here are the links to all the products. Thanks for stopping by.
