My BIO:
Heya :) I'm Grace Castillo, California resident, married to my college sweetheart for 14 years,and momma to 3 boys & 1 girl. They are definitely the main reason why I love to scrapbook,but ever since I could remember, I've always been drawn to arts & crafts which inspired me to pursue Art, Fashion Design, as well as Graphics Design & Advertising back in college. I taught myself web design, digital graphics, and often dabble in amateur photography. Scrapbooking enables me to truly merge all my interests through this medium and that's another reason why I'm hooked! Thank you for having me as a Product Tester. It was fun and was such an honor!

Grace's REVIEW:
GCD Studios really does live up to making luxurious products affordable and it is truly evident with the Paris Nights collection. I first came upon this line while shopping online and was very attracted to the sophisticated designs which could be used for various types of projects, as well as themes, but it wasn't until I've had the honor of testing these products. I was absolutely thrilled to find out that not only are they gorgeous, but they have such a wonderful texture and shimmer to them too! The chipboards are sturdy, the alphabet stickers are glittered, and they even come with flocked papers, scalloped paper strips, plus a thick transparent sheet! You cannot go wrong no matter what occasion or special event you have in mind, be it a wedding, graduation, an anniversary... the list goes on and on and even if you want to create a beautiful keepsake to treasure for years to come, because this line is absolutely very elegant, classic, and timeless.
votive candle -
covered outside glass with transparency & added the chipboard swirls.
disposable camera -
peeled off cover to use as a template for personalization.
oval photo frame -
altered frame with patterned papers, cut out flocked paper, & alpha chipboards.
treat box -
painted & wrapped tin with scalloped paper strip and covered lid with transparency.
cake box -
covered it with patterned paper & added a chipboard tag.
