Back Country Magic Layout

Photobucket

I love our new "Magic" design guide! I used the same pattern (Mesmerize) that Melanie did in the video showing her Christmas layout. When I made the layout using Close To My Heart's Back Country paper and some pictures from a trip to Alaska I got a completely different look. These patterns are very versatile. In the Magic book, each pattern shows a layout that you can use like I did, and tips and techniques to make interactive pages, like Melanie did.

If you would like a free copy of this pattern, email me at tinataylor@myctmh.com
