It really is so nice to get back to some scrapbooking. I came across these photos the other day and really wanted to get them on a page, and here you have it.
I used the Magical collection, those strips around the main piece are cut from one of the papers. You could easily use washi as a frame too, but I think it's easier to line up/get things square with paper. When I try doing stuff like that with washi I always end up having to pull it up and put it down a bunch of times.
I cut a couple doilies down to create the banner portion at the bottom, stitching along the top and then looping the excess threads around and adhering them with some gems.
I used a bunch brads that I have had for ages to accent the doilies as well.
Really a very simple and clean layout, but I love it. This is actually from two Christmases ago. It's hard to get photos with Andrew and often even harder to get myself in photos as I usually have the camera. These came from my older sister, and I'm so glad that we have them.
Now, I gotta start thinking about THIS year's Christmas photos....

ReplyDeleteawesome layout...great use of the brads!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous layout, Miriam! I especially love your row of brads on the doilie!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the washi tape. I had quite a collection for a white, but I just don't use it. Paper is so much easier (& forgiving) in my opinion....
This is an AWESOME layout! I love the doily accent and your overall design is just fantastic! Everything came together perfectly for this one!
ReplyDeleteThis is fabulous, Miriam! Love the doilies and brad combo.
ReplyDeleteIt's the details that really matter..........and more than just in paper crafting. YOU have such a real feel for what to add and when to stop. The gold lettering.........the threads.................the doilies................. You've created another example of perfection. You breathe life into your art. I could go on. Thank you for the inspiration! :-) -B
