Design Team Tips With Laurie Schmidlin

Join Laurie Schmidlin today as she uses a bit more nontraditional colors on autumn themed projects.

“Fall is my absolute favorite season!  I love everything about  it, especially the warm and cozy colors.  Sometimes, though, I like to shake things up a little.  I like to take the traditional Autumn colors and choose their pastel version.  Today I’m sharing a couple of cards that I created using pastel Fall colors combined with some shiny gold.  The result is refreshing with a touch of a modern feel.  I hope you will stop by and see how I created traditional Fall cards with nontraditional colors!”
