Melissa Frances

Thankful for being Together

As many of our customers from the USA get ready for the Thanksgiving holiday on Thursday, we thought this would be great time to share this "Together" layout from design team member Emeline Seet.  She used our C'est la Vie Collection to create a beautiful layout to commemorate the relationship between her daughter and son.

We especially liked how Emeline used one of the hearts from the "with all my heart (CX835)" resin set as an accent at the left side of her garland. While these resin pieces can be colored (as seen in this video tutorial), they are also stunning when left in their natural, shabby-white finish.

White & Cream Baptism Mini Alum

Today's inspiration comes to us from Nury Valdez a Melissa Frances customer from the Dominican Republic. Her project really exemplifies how simple can be stunning. Nury used the large Chiswick Resin Frame by Melissa Frances as the focal point for the cover of this Baptism album.

Nury, thank you for sharing your creativity with us. We appreciate it!

A stunning framed collage

Over the past few years we have received some truly beautiful projects to share with you from paper crafter Yana, a Russian who currently lives in Ireland. But this project I think might be my (Carolyn's) personal favorite. It is stunning!

Yana said: I've started this project nearly 2 years ago and after long break i finally finished it. I have used only Attic Treasures Papers and stickers. Almost entire project is made using Melissa Frances products. I hope you like it, I'm very happy how it turned out!

Thanks Yana. Both Melissa and I LOVE it! I especially love the pink tulle flower you made using our Pink Organza Pouf Ribbon (GN581). Great job!!

2 cards from the Ukraine

We told you last week how much we love hearing from customers around the world who use our Melissa Frances products. Over the next few weeks, we have some exciting projects to share with you that have been shared with us by you, our customers!

We received these two cards from Ganna Gruden. She says:

"I am a crafter from Ukraine. Recently I am very excited to have some collections of paper by Melissa Frances and so I often make cards and layouts from it! I would like to share with you some cards I have made using this paper."

Ganna used our popular "5th Avenue" collection on both of her projects. 5th Avenue is one of our discontinued collection, so if you like it, and find it, you should purchase it as it is quickly becoming a collectors item!

If you have a project that you'd like to share with our readers, we invite you to email it to us at: [email protected]
