Hey everyone!
Hope you enjoy today's batch of friday faves.
I found them all at our NING site. So get over there and get posting (and sharing)!
You could be featured here next week.
I love all of todays layouts because they inspire me. Whether it's the use of misting (from chris) , or the delicate layering (by rachel), i hope there's something in today's post to inspire YOU.
happy friday!

Is there anyone out there who likes to alter? I have to be honest and say that it is not my most favorite thing - but wow - after working with this canvas - i may be hooked. The colors in the Audrey line go perfect in my office so i was excited to get to work and create this. I started with a blank white canvas - the background colour was created with a few different colors - it came out a little bright - but after everything was put on - i was happy with the end result. I tore out some old book pages and modge podged them to the canvas and covered them with paint. I then used Maya Mist to create the paint splattered look. Click on the image to get a closer look!

Happy Monday. We've spent a good deal of time this month showing you just how versatile the Audrey line is with pages ranging from Patriotic to girly-girl. Now we'd like to share with you just how quick and easy it is to use, as well.
Design Team member Jill Sprott created this quick and gorgeous sentiment page as a way to document her appreciation for her Sister-in-law. Below, she shares three tips for keeping it easy. 
(1) I kept embellishments to a minimum by using the perfect-out-of-the-package Lily Bee flowers. Rather than spend time rummaging through my stash for color-coordinated accents, I misted one of the small pink flowers so that it would work with the photo and the papers. It dried really quickly.
(2) Aside from the cardstock, I used scraps for every part of this layout, cutting the coordinating Audrey patterned papers into blocks and strips and layering a few on top of each other. The papers in this line complement each other beautifully.
(3) The fastest part of all was the part that usually takes me the longest -- the journaling. I knew that it would be a challenge to put into words what makes my sister-in-law such a gift, so I used a journaling strategy that works for me when I'm feeling intimidated or tongue - tied: look at the person in the photo, and write to him or her, sharing what comes to mind when you look at the photo(s) of him or her. I sometimes find that composing the journaling gets tangled up with placing the journaling, so in those cases, I separate the two. Rather than worry about where to place the journaling, I printed it on cardstock, added a ribbon tab, and slipped the journaling behind the photo.
I, Lori Gentile, created this quick page to document my love of my morning routine; coffee and email. This page will go straight into my Book of Me album. Below are my three tips on keeping it easy.
Here are the final pages of Katie's Mini Album along with her amazing layouts. I love how she has used the rub-ons and the frames throughout her layouts. Your work is just stunning! Thanks again Katie for gracing us with your work!

and just look at this page by scrappygirljenni. i love how she used the french couture die cuts here. and that photo is so sweet!
and this layout by Carcol using the three little birds line is simply adorable! i love the circles and the jewels are a nice touch.
