We have lots of pictures to share and I can't wait for you to see the beautiful altered album that Karen designed!!
WOW!! Is this not Gorgeous or what? This is the front cover of Karen's altered album, 4 the love of quotes. Karen used the Want2Scrap™ Waterfall Planner Chipboard Album and embellished it with Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Silver Rhinestones , Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestones , Swirls, Finesse - Silver Rhinestones - 2 Pack - Self Adhesive , and decorative Chipboard Embellishments - Pack of 5 - Style B , Chipboard Embellishments - Pack of 5 - Style C. 
I love the beautiful colors and all of the layering! Here you can see several of the embellishments and one of the quotes peeking out from behind the many layers. 
Here is the inside cover. Karen used the chipboard embellishments off and on the pages creating a very unique look that adds dimension and interest to the page. Beautiful flowers and wonderful quotes! **Note you can click on all of the photos to enlarge them. 
Here are a couple of close up pictures from the inside cover. 
On the next two pages Karen used Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Silver Rhinestones and Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestones . 
In this close up you can see how Karen hand cut the Labels Fourteen die cut with the Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestones and added the two pieces behind the patterned paper. Karen also used Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestones directly on the paper showing that you don't have to have a die cut to used the Nestabling™. You can use the Nestabling™ as and embellishment or showcase a part of your project. 
On this page Karen used the Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestones around one of the quotes. 
Look at all the embellishments and layers!! Each page is it's own little treasured piece of artwork filled with so many wonderful thing. 
On these last two pages Karen used the Swirls, Finesse - Silver Rhinestones - 2 Pack - Self Adhesive with the beautiful butterfly and Nestabling™ Scalloped Hearts Silver Rhinestones on a die cut and around one of the quotes.
