I've machine stitched the grid lines as my page border - definitely won't do that in a hurry again. I love how it came out but it was such a big job getting rid of all the loose cotton strings hanging everywhere. :-0 The photo is of my DD and her two cousins on the farm in December 2007. I had a lot of fun with this one using some of my favourite Basic Grey Curio papers. The birdcage is from Scrapware and the flowers are from an old Prima line. The flourish is from Kaisercraft. All products can be found here.
A close up of my embellie cluster.
And a closer look and my handmade cork title. :)
I'm hoping to complete another layout this weekend. Thanks for popping by my little blog and for your lovely comments.
Hope you have fantastic weekend!
