BNspired-Paper Love in the Newstand

I have had the privilege to work for Barnes & Noble for over eight years now. Every week I go to work, I am always finding new, inspiring things. So as a way to remind me of all this inspiration, I have decided to share my finds with you through BNspired which I hope will be a weekly post—Enjoy.

Welcome to week 3 of BNspired! Today I have another inspiration piece from the magazine rack—although it is not a magazine.

This Daphne’s Diary paper box arrived this week.  

It is a paper lover's box full of goodness—including a poster, cards, gift wrap, do-it-yourself garland, tags, bookmarks, recipe notebook, envelopes, coloring pages, pictures, a set of furniture to fold, paper dresses, photo frames, invitation cards, sticker sheets and cut-out pages.   

I can see a lot of these items being used as embellishments on cards and layouts. This is an import from the UK and the price is a bit high at $45.99 but great for that shabby chic style.

BNspired-This Title Treatment Is On Fire

I have had the privilege to work for Barnes & Noble for over eight years now. Every week I go to work, I am always finding new, inspiring things. So as a way to remind me of all this inspiration, I have decided to share my finds with you through BNspired which I hope will be a weekly post—Enjoy.

Welcome to week 2 of BNspired! Today I have another inspiration piece—and the finished project from last week’s inspirations.

I’ll admit it, I am a fontaholic. I love fonts!! That is why I have almost every Cricut cartridge that includes a font. That is also the main reason I originally purchased a Silhouette, so I could cut titles from any True Type font. So don’t be surprised if quite a few of these posts include fonts or title treatments like this one: 

I love that the letters in this title look hand cut and I really like that a few of the letters have been shadowed with an outlined letter.  I will definitely be trying this letter treatment on a future layout.

And here is the layout (#206) using one of last week’s inspirations, the stitched stationary kit. 

I started with the tree, which I made ombre by using three different shades of green. I was loving the look so much that I decide to copy the Ho Ho Ho as my title and then finish off the layout with a stitched boarder around my photo collage. I really like the way it turned out.
