She designed a life she loved

A gorgeous layout by Mellisa Mann!
Here is what Melissa has to say about her layout: "Hey, everyone! Melissa here again :-)  I LOVE this new line of paper by Sassafras Lass - the colors are just perfect! I especially love that flowered paper; it is just gorgeous! A couple of things about this layout - 1.) I used Bahama Blue Tattered Angels Mist on the Prima canvas letters. I dropped some of the mist on there and then used a water bottle to get a more watercolor look. 2.) When I started to put the smaller Sassafras alphas down on the flowered paper, they kind of got lost on it - so, I quickly swiped some gesso with my finger across the section of paper where my title would appear - let it dry - and placed my title down. It was just what was needed to let those alphas pop on the flowery background!"

Awesome tips Melissa! Thanks!
