Your Inspiring Creations!

It's really inspiring to see what some crafty talents have been whipping up with the designs from my new book 'Create Your Own Printable Scrapbook Papers'. The book is now available for sale on www.GypsyChickStudio.com and Amazon.

Check out what my good friend Paul Browning from the UK has created! I just adore Paul's style and love checking out his blog to see his latest card designs.  

These are the papers Paul chose from the book, then customized in Photoshop to use in his card designs. 

And here is the beautiful card and tag he created, using the papers.

Aren't they just so beautiful?! Thanks once again for the inspiration Paul, and do hop over to Paul's BLOG to check out all his GORGEOUS creations!
