Back in September I did a demo of the Parisian Anthology papers from House of 3 with Rebecca of Pink Paislee. I admit to completely missing the boat with this product but after trying them out I had to get some for myself. Although I consider myself to be a far more graphic scrapbooker I was really taken in by the simple artsy nature of these papers. I really love the idea of taking something artsy and making it fit my style. So I challenged myself to get out the papers I bought back in September and take them for a test drive. I used a sheet of “Beautiful Butterfly” and a mix of inks from Ranger to get this custom one of a kind paper I used on this layout.
(Supplies Used: Bazzill Cardstock, Patterned Paper from Cosmo Cricket and Pink Pasilee, Alphas from Basic Grey, Buttons from Fancy Pants, Inks from Ranger, Mini envelope from Maya Road, Stampin Up Punche, Sticker Accents from Cosmo Cricket, misc Gemstones, Font Arial Narrow)
Take a look at how I transformed the Parisian Anthology papers …
What I found so fun about this paper was that the more I played the more the paper transformed right in front of my eyes. I could easily make it fit any layout by simply changing up the colors. To get a better idea of how these papers work check out this wonderful video from Pink Paislee http://pinkpaislee.com/category/videos/
Thanks for joining me today outside my comfort zone!

My gosh I have been looking at that paper thinking, no I don't want it it's plain and boring white. Now I have to go out and buy it!!!
