Not quite up to the challenge, why not? There is no handy work required on your end because the shape has already been cut out along with the sanding and you can simply remove the embellishments from the bag and start creating. I love that these embellishments are so versatile. You can choose to distress, paint or alter these with papers, or leave them naked. Either way, these unique embellishments will surely add texture, dimension and beauty to your layouts.

Cherish by Nicolle Kramer

Supplies: Paper, Chipboard, Charms, Tags, Journaling Spots and Stickers: Kaisercraft, Flowers: Recollections, Creative charms, Ribbon: Websters Pages, Bling: Recollections, Brads: Creative Charms, Ink: Colorbox. Tools: Trimmer: Fiskars, Scissors: Cutterbee, Border Punches: Martha Stewart.

Design Notes: I used a Kaisercraft sketch for inspiration of this layout. I enjoy lots of layers, distressing and inking all the edges of the papers. I even added little gems to the wooden light post for the illusion of them lit up.

Journaling: We don't remember days we remember moments.
