At CHA Summer, we unveiled a beautiful new product that we're still kind of swooning over... today, we're going to get a little up close and personal with these beauties:

...because we want to share some awesome ways to incorporate these StoryMarkers into your next layout...and our Design Team is ready with several examples.
First, take a look at this gorgeous layout from Designer Jaz Lee:

Take a look at how she layered several smaller embellishments onto the StoryMarker, truly incorporating it into the design. Then, to pull it in even more, she created a little cluster with the pearls and the Charm right where the StoryMarker Charm rests on the page.
It's absolutely gorgeous!
Gabrielle Pollacco created a fun waterfall effect using her StoryMarkers on this sweet page highlighting her daughter and her best friends:
Here, you can see the various steps Gabi used to create this effect and you can also see that she trimmed the StoryMarker using half above the waterfall of stamped cards and half below.
A clever little way to add visual interest and interaction to your layout! (For more details on how to accomplish this, head over to
Gabi's blog.)
Tomoko Takahashi also worked two StoryMarkers into this Classic Webster's layout featuring the new Best Friends Collection:
We love the detail these embellishments can add with both the velvet ribbon and the charm on the end. Tomoko used hers both vertically and horizontally for two stunning effects.
The StoryMarkers are just one of several gorgeous embellishments in our Best Friends Collection...which ships out this week! Will you find a special gift in YOUR box? Order this month and you may find a handmade gift from our designers tucked inside your order.
