June 2025 Designer Tip With Connie Prince

   

PaintChips Rose

Paint Chips: Rose is a dreamy scrapbook kit blooming with soft elegance and romantic charm. Inspired by the beauty of roses in every shade, this collection features a delicate palette of rose red, blush pink, and light pink, accented with subtle touches of tan and fresh green.

Elegant roses take center stage—full, lush, and timeless—woven throughout the kit alongside coordinating ribbons, greenery, and vintage-style ephemera. You'll also find sweet heart accents and thoughtful word art with sentiments like "Stop & smell the roses," "Count the roses, not the thorns," and references to the Rose of Sharon—perfect for adding heartfelt meaning to your pages.

Whether you're documenting love, reflection, or life's quiet beauty, Paint Chips: Rose adds a graceful, floral touch to every memory.

I associate roses with my mom, she had the most beautiful garden and such a knack for growing them (well all things really).  Here are a few layouts showcasing beautiful roses in bloom in nature!

I loved all the sweet girl layouts that were created using this kit!  I even see some handsome guys in these, too.  So fun!

I always love to see versatile uses for kits, these were perfect examples!

Have a wonderful day!

Word art is such a wonderful addition to any scrapbook page—it can help convey 

emotion, set the tone, or tie all the elements of your layout together. Whether it’s a

bold statement or a subtle accent, word art can turn your memories into something

truly meaningful and eye-catching.

My name is Karen Schulz, and I am your host for the Word Art Challenge here at 

MyMemories.

Each month in this challenge, I provide you with a word art graphic, and your job is 

to create a layout using that graphic. 

It's not too late to join in the fun. Come on over and grab this month's word art and 

share your page design with us.
