Give your page that Audrey Hepburn twist!

How about those pearl swirls? I remember these swirls first only came in rhinestones, but now they are finally being made in pearl studs. I fell in love the first time I saw Linda's layout, as her pearl swirls perfectly matched the delicate vintage theme. Lady Grace's white and black arching pearls contributed to that dreamy-romantic feel of her page. What I love most about July's layout is her fun use of bling and pearls on the same page as she made her own swirls out of them!

Precious Baby Girl by Linda C. Harper

Supplies: Papers: Melissa Frances, My Mind's Eye, Ink: StazOn, Journaling Card: Fancy Pants, Transparency: Hambly, Pearls: Kaisercraft, Prima Marketing, Button: Jenni Bowlin Studio, Flowers: Prima Marketing, Bazzill Basics Paper, Chipboard: Pink Paislee, Stickers: October Afternoon, Making Memories.

Design Notes: I'm working on an album for my mother for Christmas. The pearls are just the right touch for all of these vintage layouts. I layered the Prima swirl with the flowers to give this picture an elegant touch. I then added additional pearls to the center of the smaller flowers to tie it all together.

John Adriel by Lady Grace Belarmino

Supplies: Papers: Pink Paislee, Theresa Collins Designs, Cardstock: Core'dinations, Brad: BasicGrey, Pearls: Kaisercraft, Other: ribbon, stamps, flowers.

Design Notes: On this particular layout, I revealed the inner core of my Core'dination cardstock. I made a cutout flower and folded its petals to add dimension.

Moments by July Gaceta

Supplies: Papers: Sassafras Lass, BasicGrey, Bling: All About Scrapbooking, Chipboards: American Crafts, Ink: Clearsnap, Pen: Signo, Other: pearls.

Design Notes: I love coordinating my pictures with all the papers and embellishments I use on my layouts. The main photo was the inspiration behind my choice of the polka dotted white base patterned paper, while the smaller pictures were for the pink, violet, white and brown embellishments. I chose pink as my anchor color to establish femininity and draw more attention to what is behind the word moments for me - i.e., the perfect smiles, laughter and expression of each picture. I added a handmade and distressed flower that tied up all the colors and glammed up the page with gems and pearls.

Journaling: I thought this is one time experience since we lived in two different places. Smile.
