So I created 2 layouts so far. The first is called "On the Bridge" and it is of my DD and my DGS. We recently went to the Botanical Gardens in San Antonio and I took a TON of photos. The colors are just perfect for these papers.
For this layout, I had found a wooden frame at Michael's and inked it up for that natural wood look. As you can see, this really is a simple layout. Frame, a couple of vines, some interspersed flowers and some lovely butterflies from the new Pink Paislee Artisan collection. I then just used a punch in a few areas around the edges and that's it.
This next layout is of me. I've been trying to do one layout per year of myself so I can remember what I looked like at that time. Since I am now 47 years old (gasp - how in the heck did that happen?!!!) I thought this photo was a good one to use. It's kinda far off enough not to really show my age, lol.
So on this one, I used my cherry blossoms stencil and some stencil paste. I love the effect it gave and have to say it is much prettier in real life.
After I let the paste dry, I just added my photo, a couple of chipboard pieces and tons of flowers. Can you tell I REALLY LOVE these papers?
Hi Leslie, I love this paper line too! I love what you did with the mask...so pretty!
ReplyDeleteHad a wee giggle to myself when I read this bit ... "It's kinda far off enough not to really show my age, lol."
