Gallery pick: Debra B

I spent Saturday night looking at the albums from January's Summer Challenges. We're so lucky to have such a wealth of talent in the Mystical Chat Facebook group there was so much there to love.

I often use facebooks 'save' function to bookmark pages I am inspired by to come back to- and this week I think I saved every one of Debra B's Layouts. She has such a great eye for colour and design. She's a whizz when it comes to embellishment clusters. Her clean soft feel really makes for an eye-catching but gentle story- perfectly suited to her pictures. 

Thanks so much for the inspiration Debra.
