Digging Fun

Oh, I seriously love this next page I'm sharing with you. It was published in the US edition of Creating Keepsakes recently, in the article on using torn paper to add texture to your layouts.

I tore up an old dressmaking pattern to create the "substrate" for my layout. Just tore it up into strips and mashed it across the bottom of the page. Then I cut out various elements from some Webster's Pages papers and built up my illustration.

The butterfly is from a sheet of Graphic45 paper. I do love these butterflies!

Pennant flags. I still love them. They are so good for boys pages :)

Lace and gingham. Love the combination.

I am so rapt at being picked up again in Creating Keepsakes. It is an honour!
