Hello there everyone, Today I have some exciting news to share about
well, I have three exciting news to share about Couture Creations.

Firstly, they have released a Catalogue which has all the 
new collections of dies and embossing folders for Jan to July 2014, 
this was released at the CHA show 
this year in January. 

One exciting news is that the cover of this magazine has my
creation of a peacock, (this peacock will also be featured again
in a later issue of 
"Creative Inspiration Magazine", 
(but I will share this news with you all at a later time.)

So here is the cover of the Couture Creations Catalogue.
The Graphic Designers have done an amazing job with the cover
(I only created one peacock, but with the talented graphic team at
Couture Creations they have transformed my peacock to a flock of them!!!!)



The Second news is that with each set of new dies and embossing folders 
which are released, (usually every month) a new magazine called 
"Creative Inspiration Magazine" will be published. 
These will be available for FREE from your local Scrapbooking store.

This magazine is full of inspirational projects and techniques, 
from the current Design Team members. Be sure to have a closer look..........

My paper house layout and card are featured on the front of the magazine!!! YAY!!!!!!

Hello there everyone, Today I have created a card for
my Design Team work at Couture Creations.


I created my card with 2 of the latest die cuts released this month from
Couture Creations they are from the 

 "LIVE YOUR LIFE OUT LOUD"



The gorgeous doily in the background is created with the

I slightly inked the edges with ink and Couture Creations Daubers




The flowers and leaves are created with the

To create the flowers, just cut several die cuts of the flower, and
I slight curled the edges of the flowers over with

and placed a
Couture Creations Pearls  in the centre of each flower.
