This layout was so inspired by a single page done a while go by my friend Pamela Young. She is such an awesome scrapper and a generous friend. When i saw her layout i knew i had to scraplift it...and so here it is! i love how we can be inspired by different people and different things even if they have such a different style of doing things. so thanks Pamela!
of course it helped that i used the beautiful pink paislee paper to create this beauty. i also threw in some girl's paperie and mme for good measure and good old i can't live without book paper. i used the book paper to create a dimensional border at the top of each flaggy and then added some sewing along the edge in different colours.
the lettering is by a local south african company...and used to death! i added some glaze to make them look them better.
the butterfly is cut from a piece of paper and glitter glue added. the stamp and floral stickers used are from a Prima paper sheet and the rub-ons by kaisercraft.
the lace border stamp used right at the top of the layout is by prima and the butterfly by pink paislee - stamped in grey ink. i hope you feel inspired on this cold weekend afternoon. be blessed! and thanks for popping by xx

this week's challenge over at scrap and stamp Saturday is a colour challenge! the challenge is to use brown, cream and one additional colour - i chose red. i absolutely loved how this layout turned out - the photos, the use of scraps of paper, the stamping, sewing and even those old very old ki memories rub-ons by Love Elsie! (yes they still worked like a charm) For the patterned paper squares i dug around in my scraps and found patterned with creams and browns in and the red came with the beautiful old favourite by Jenni Bowlin. I hope this layout will inspire you to play along, but more importantly to use those old supplies you have - scraps are the best part about being creative. I love that i can make those beautiful papers stretch over a couple of layouts **'cause i really love patterned papers.
