Hello everyone!
It's Anna Wiśniewska here with you today!!

I would like to introduce you
to our LAST monthly Guest Designer!

a wonderful layout inspired by our fabulous

Let's get to know Marie-Josee a little better:

"Hi! My name is Marie-Josee Hamel.
I am a French Canadian living in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada with my daughter & my husband.  I have been scrapbooking since 2006. I create layouts, but also cards, altered art & mixed media projects. I LOVE flowers, & color is always my main source of inspiration. You can visit my blog *HERE*or follow my Facebook page *HERE*"


 
Take a look at Marie-Josee's amazing layout, based on our FINAL mood board!



Marie-Josee has captured so many elements of the mood board!  Look at the colors & gold glitter.  The background of her layout as well as the compositon are amazing!


 

I love her use of coloured chipboard!!




These small roses look fabulous with a faint touch of white!



The delicate, black splashing add much character to this layout.
Very beautiful, Marie-Josee!
 
Thank you so much Marie-Josee for participating in our challenges &
