'live your dreams'

Hello my crafty girls, I am dropping in to share my very first layout made with

the February Scraps of Elegance kit called 'Garden Gala'.

'live your dreams'

I had my eye on the most beautiful mood board I saw over at Scrap Africa that I really wanted to join in, and when I saw these beautiful papers by Bella, called 'Memory Lane' in this month's kit I instantly knew what I wanted to do. I used one side as the base and then the same paper but the other side for all the little pieces of vintage papers that I used on my layout. I loved the look of old peeling paper in the mood board, so I took a plain brown paper bag ripped it up into pieces and then sewed it down on to my base paper which I had also torn up and glued down over some striped paper. I found this perfect vintage photograph of my Grandma and my Aunt.....

and I love how it turned out :) So grungy but pretty at the same time.

Here is mood board:

From this month's kit I used the Bella papers, the Blue Fern Studios stamp,

the prettiest Liquid Pearls in 'Rose Gold' (LOVE this, I've never had these before, 

and I love the way they look!), and the Ranger Ink pad in 'Tea Stain'.

See you soon, Lisa xo
