She said, “I had a blast this week working with MME My Story collection to document a funny little story about my daughter. I used a little bird from the inspiration piece and the dark circles in the form of my enamel dots.”

I really love the collection she used! It’s so pretty and fun!

Art Party Friday: NicoleJones911

Aloha Scrappers!! Today was a rainy day today in paradise, the perfect day to be lazy. I hope your weekend holds promise for you. The promise to be inspired, the promise to spend time with friends and family, the promise to have a great day.

Today on Art Party Friday is Nicole Jones911. I love Nicole and how she embraces and inspires me to try everything when I am creating a layout.

She puts everything in an easy and uncomplicated way too. Today she is playing with mixed media. I love all the texture on her background. I love how she does this without using lots of layers of papers and her embellishments lend to the texture feel.

Here is a look at Nicole’s layout.
