Alstroemeria - Sneak Peek & Freebie!

[juliehclark]

I think this is my favorite thing I have made so far! Alstroemeria became my favorite flower when I used them in my wedding bouquet nearly 9 years ago! I always have a vase full of fresh ones as the centerpiece in the dining room and when my DD Abby took a picture of them (She's 3 and already has photo fever!!!) I knew I had to use it as inspiration for ths set!

Here's a layout using the inspiration photo that she snapped:

Pink, Lavender, Mint, Cream and Brown are colors you will find in the set and it is FULL of unique embellishments such as glass beads on a wire (plus the individual elements so you can assemble a bead set yourself), hanging charms, flower embellihments, Two- 2-piece envelopes so that you can tuck things inside them, journaling plaques, scotch tape, parchment paper, wrough iron pieces, and more!

Here's a link to a slideshow with all the images (http://www.flickr.com/photos/66936885@N00/sets/72157594479247827/show/) - The template set will have SIX pages and the kit has some elements not used in the template set and just 'cause I love you, Here's a freebie sampler!

These should be in the store early next week!

I see why it would be one of your favorites! I can't wait for the full version to be available! This is a nice Pre-wedding or engagement format, which is exactly what I'll be using it for!! My friend is getting married in September and I wanted to do a collage of pictures for her but I just couldn't find something that was wedding without being wedding if that makes any sense! LOL
