Guest Designer ... Debbie Smith

Our gorgeous Guest Designer for this month has just sent me another great creation!

Thanks Debbie!

This is what Debbie had to say ......

I love this Imaginarium title Simple Things Matter Most which immediately made me think of the little everyday things that make us happy. My three year old Angus is crazy about trains, and dancing, and hugs and kisses. Perfect! I scraped some Perfect Pearls on to the title and I'm really pleased with the colourful shimmery effect. I used it on both the title and the little flourish frames. It's a very simple grid layout with twine to separate the squares. I love simple!!

It's been so fun playing with Imaginarium this month, and thanks so much for having me <3 <3 >3
