over a year ago, i was asked to be a part of the book team for the newest making memories project. these projects were all about the slice. and this is what came out of that team project, the slice inspirations box.

i got permission to share a project or two with you. but you'll have to get one of your own to see all the other great projects, from me and the other talented designers ;)

this was one of my layouts that i had created, and the one that ended up in the box. this is my gorgeous neighbor girlie, ayana. i had originally started this entire design with the christmas collection. but the darker colors weren't working for me, and i just couldn't seem to finish it. so i started the entire layout again, but with lighter and brighter papers. these photos of ayana matched perfectly.

i had the basic shapes 1 design card to work with. which was right up my alley, since i'm a basic kind of girl. lol! i used the slice to cut out the circles in the orange pattern paper. i had adhered the printed acetate paper onto my white cardstock background, and then adhered the entire orange pattern paper over it using large pop dots. added a ton of dimension to the layout.

now i know that the basic shapes 2 design card has butterfly shapes on it. but i didn't have that card. lol! so i used the heart shapes to make my butterflies. i cut the hearts from the glitter paper and some white cardstock. on the cardstock pieces, i heat embossed them with a glittery clear embossing powder to give them some shine and sparkle. i pieced all the hearts together to make a buttefly, and then added some buttons to the centers with some pins for the antenee. the scallop circles were also cut with the slice, and layered with the circles i had cut from the metallic paper (and embossed with the cuttlebug).

supplies –
all supplies are making memories, except the pearl accents on the flowers (which are hero arts)

    Great job, Laura! I love it, as always. What a sweet little girl 🙂 And I’m with Megan… even people who don’t own the Slice can take all kinds of ideas from that box! I guess I’d better go get it soon, huh? 🙂

    Good for you to come up with your own butterflies! I seriously need to find this…I keep waiting for M’s to get it, but they probably never will! Do you know who has them with cheap shipping?
