Tammy Tutterow - A blog well worth checking out!

TheScrapbookStore.ie are big fans of Pink Paislee and we even chose their gorgeous Spring Fling Collection as our April Kit. During the recent CHA in Chicago they announced the release of two new collections, Pop Fashion and Vintage Moon and we hope to have them in store next month:

One of their design team is the multi-talented Tammy Tutterow. She designs projects for Pink Paislee and lots of other companies and her blog/website is a treasure trove of ideas.

She also has a Flickr Gallery and I defy you not to be inspired to create once you've seen it. These are a couple of my favourites from the gallery but it's packed with absolutely loads of scrapbook layouts, cards, home decor and photo decor creations and a really beautiful section with mixed media/collage pieces.

I love this box decorated with Basic Grey Archaic papers, chipboard and flowers:

and this layout using the Pink Paislee Office Lingo Collection:

Enjoy!
