Melissa Frances sneaks: day 1...

Hello! This is going to be a busy week for me showing you all of the new things coming out at CHA! Stay tuned to more blog posts and more projects all this week! 

Melissa Frances has a couple of new lines, one is called C'est la Vie... meaning "that's life". It's a beautifully, soft romantic line. This collection celebrates life in it’s imperfect, inherent messiness. Like our Thankful collection, these papers will have part proceeds donated to www.breastcancer.org, Melissa's charity of choice.

What are your favorites? I love the colors in the Aqua Doily and Hydrangeas papers. I have a few things to share that I made, but today I will show you one of the layouts I made with these pretty die cuts. I arranged them in a grid pattern, added some smaller photos (wallet sized) and some little lavender punched hearts.

I made the envelope with a Papertrey Ink die called Tiny Envelope. I also used a postmark stamp from Papertrey Ink's Postmarks set on the center die cut.

I love these die cuts. The floral one is so pretty. I cut out "you" with a Wonderful Words die by Papertrey Ink also with gray cardstock. I thought the gray and lavender would look so pretty with this line. The background paper I used is actually from the other new MF line. I mixed and matched, but the two lines go together so well.

We also have new banner stickers, which I've used here on this layout (thankful for you, sweet memories and hello beautiful). You are getting a peek at the other new line here as well! Can you tell what it is?

And check out these gorgeous cardstock stickers (floral above hello beautiful flag). This cardstock sheet is called "Victorian".

Visit the Melissa Frances blog each day this week for your chance to win the two new lines!
