Around the World on Wednesday - This or That!

Hello and welcome to the first Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop for 2025!

We have many wonderful themes coming up this year to inspire you.

Below is an image of the crew and where they live around the world. A wonderful group of creative people who love to share their projects with you.

You may have arrived from my friend Jan Clothier from New Zealand. She is always creating stunning  projects! 

This month's theme is " This or That". We have been challenged to create two different projects and are asking you which you prefer. I have chosen my two favourite suites from the new Mini Catalogue, now available to customers. The Friends of the Ocean Suite Collection and the Floral Delight Suite Collection.  I have used the same layout for each card. 

I have used a piece from each of the Designer Series Paper from the suites as a background layer on a Basic White card base. I also used a mat layer of Basic White card stock under the Designer Series Paper layer.

I then adhered the die cut circle layer with Dimensionals before arranging and adhering the die cut or fussy cut pieces on the top of the circle layer with Dimensionals. The sentiment layers were placed at the lower right of the circle layer.  A double bow and a Tiny Bee Trinket for the Delightful Wishes card and some Pumpkin Pie Starfish and three Melon Mambo Sunny Day Iridescent Dots for the Ocean Friends card. 

I just adore both of these Suite Collections and cannot wait to create more projects with them. I am wondering what your favourite products from the Mini Catalogue are? Each catalogue holds so many amazing products and it is always fun to decide what you would love to create with.
