More Peeks of C'est la Vie

New banner cardstock stickers to coordinate with the C'est la Vie collection.

These stickers add a lovely touch to any layout or card.

I used the 'I  Love You'  banner sticker from the C'est la Vie collection for this sweet little box.

I'm so excited about these cardstock stickers! Here they are in two different themes: Victorian and Diva. How cute are they?! 

Here is a door hanger that was created using  new Aqua Doily paper from the C'est la Vie Collection and stickers from the Diva theme.

New C'est la Vie Collection

This beautifully soft,  romantic collection is the newest line from Melissa Frances debuting at CHA.

C’est la Vie - Life doesn’t always go the way we want it to. We all face struggles and obstacles. It is how we handle them that defines us.

 This collection celebrates life in its imperfect, inherent messiness. Like the 'Thankful' collection, these papers will have part of the proceeds donated to www.breastcancer.org Melissa's charity of choice.

Brooch and Crepe Paper Bouquet

I used this great tutorial from Folding Trees on how to make crepe paper flowers.   In the tutorial, the flowers are made with tissue paper.  I thought I'd try my hand at using some of the beautiful crepe paper from Melissa Frances.

I made about six paper flowers and twisted all the stems together. Ribbon was then wrapped around the stems and a lovely brooch was pinned on the ribbon stem. I used feather plumes and satin flowers to fill in gaps in the bouquet. The last step was to pin the brooches inside each flower.

Fun, easy and lovely.
