Please help us welcome our July guest designer, the fabulous Cassandra Cyr!
Cassandra Cyr lives in Connecticut with her husband and 3 year old son, Charlie. By day she is a QC immunochemist and an MBA student, but by night she loves to make any project that involves paper. She has had projects on the covers of Scrapbook Trends and CARDS as well as published in Scrapbooks Etc, Create, Creating Keepsakes, and Scrapbooks and Cards Today. When she's not working or crafting she loves to cook and spend time with her family at the beach. She also runs the blog Glue Meets Paper.
Supplies: Market Street -Nob Hill: chipboard, print, enamel dots, journaling cards, patterned paper, washi tape
Cassandra says: I loved the 8.5x11 prints so much that I wanted to use them in a layout. I picked my favorite and fussy cut the design away to use as a large focal point for this layout. I chose some photos with a gold-ish tint to them to coordinate with all the gold in the collection.
Supplies: Market Street-Nob Hill: prints; Market Street-Ashbury Heights: prints, chipboard, patterned paper (Shimmer, Dotted), diecuts
Cassandra says: I've had a blank wall in my scrapbooking room for years and decided that this year I needed to make it look pretty! I've slowly been collecting frames but never got the motivation to do anything with them. However, once I saw the amazing prints in the Market Street collection I knew exactly where they would go. I picked 4 of my favorite prints and framed them as well as filled some smaller frames with patterned paper and embellishments from the collection. After that, I added family photos in the remaining frames and hung them all up on my wall. I'm so pleased with how this project turned out and I love looking up and seeing such wonderful art!
Q: What did you have the most fun creating?
A: I really enjoyed working on my photo wall. I had been planning it for months and it felt good to finally have my vision come to life! The adorable 8.5x11 MME prints were just the inspiration I needed to get moving on this project. I love to sit at my desk and be surrounded by motivational quotes and family photographs- it's just what I wanted!
Cassandra you ROCK!
Y'all make sure to come back tomorrow. Cassandra will be sharing another layout and a mini album!
