We would like to share with you a few layouts from design team members Camilla and Valerie.  Enjoy!

"Time Flies" by Camilla Ekman

I can't believe how time flies. My children are getting so big. It seems like yesterday they started school, but now they are 12 and 14. Creating this layout I used lots of layers, using punches and dies. 

"Arga ogon" by Camilla Ekman

How can someone so angry look so cute? Yes, this young lady is sitting under a table, angry at her mother. She has her angry eyes on. LOL. The layout is made with the fabulous April kit from C'est Magnifique. I have played with some mists, some masks and some texture paste to create more patterns to the background.

"Easter" by Valerie Serfozo

 I just had hundreds of old photos and slides scanned and I'm so happy to have some digital photos of my family when I was younger. I have fond memories of Easter when my mother would dress all 4 of us in new dresses, shoes, socks, gloves, and hats. It was quite a special day. My mother always wore a corsage on Easter (you can just faintly see it on her left shoulder), so I tried to make my flower cluster look somewhat like a corsage. I didn't want the title to stand out too much, so I chose to leave the canvas alphabet its natural color.

"Love" by Valerie Serfozo

 I have always had a fondness for ledger paper, and was so glad this month's kit included a sheet of it. I chose to use a lot of the Prima chipboard pieces on this layout of my nephew, Keegan. I like the contrast between his sweet skin and the black in both the ledger paper and the chipboard.
