What can we say? Awesome design Regina!!

We love how Regina played on the wave theme from the die-cuts with the use of vellum and her journal strip.

"Brick by Brick"

Regina created an adorable sun design using the i-top and i-top punches and then she stamped over them using the Sun snag 'em stamp. Super cute idea!

There's so much that catches the eye on this page and the cut-out flowers are just stunning!

Abby Laubenstein
