ESAD Blog Hop - Designer Series Paper

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I am participating in a blog hop with my fellow Australian and New Zealand demonstrators. We are celebrating all the gorgeous papers that are curently on sale as part of our Buy 3 get the 4th FREE promotion.

So sit back and be prepared to be amazed. There are some seriously talented fellow demonstrators out there.

My project uses my favourite Designer Series Paper, Petal Promenade. This paper is absolutely gorgeous. First up, it's floral, so an instant win for me. Then there are the colours, from subtles to deep rich tones, in pinks and apricots. Add to all that the photo realism paper. It is absolutely stunning. Then there are the floral frames that are so versatile.

I came across this photo when I was cleaning out my parents house. Three of the gorgeous women in this photo are related to me. On the left is my Nana,  my Mum's Mum. She was such a special Nana and I have nothing but fond memories of her. Such an amazingly strong woman. On the far right is my Mum. She was such a beautiful lady inside and out. I miss her too much to write much more. Then to the left of my Mum is her sister, Daphne. My Aunty Daph is still with us and was like a second Mum growing up. I am grateful that I could grow up with these amazing women being the perfect role models to me.

Because these women were so feminine and the quintessential housewives in every aspect, I wanted to make a beautiful page to honour them. I knew of only one paper in our range that could truly do that. That's why I chose this gorgeous paper.

If you love this paper, then you can get it for FREE. Until the end of June, you can buy 3 packs of paper and get the 4th FREE. Here are all the wonderful papers included in this amazing deal.

I teed it up with the coordinating stampset and framelits to make the accents. Products like these make it easy to make beautiful things.

Here below I have trimmed one of the frames and used it as a corner feature on the photo.

I love theses little accents using the Blossoms Elements.

And the touch of elegance this paper lace trim makes it the prefect finishing touch. Easily made with the Delicate Lace Edglelits Dies.
