Make your own Embellishments!


I really do leave it too long between scrapbook layouts, it really is my first love.  So when my Design Team mate at Craft Room Challenge, Maria chose the theme Make your own embellishments- it had to be a Layout ;)



This is a 12 x 12 layout of an old photo I've been meaning to do for a long time. We don't know who she is, but she has the family nose, so we're pretty sure she's a relation, going from her dress this photo probably dates from about 1875.



Our sponsor this week is Liz Welch with a Friendly Plastic prize pack of the fun stuff.
Make sure you check out the other Dt work as it's as stunning as usual.

Details:

Patterned paper is from SU, as are the stamps. Lace and ribbon is SU with some old lace from Grandma's Stash. My handmade embellishments are the Tulle Crumb Cake colour flower and the ephemera Perfume bottle labels are from Gecko Galz.

I'm entering this layout over at Just Add Ink Scrapbook Challenge, where they want to see lace and ephemera- just up my street :-)

have a great week everyone

Your LO is jaw dropping beautiful. I take too long between LOs too and always fall behind getting scrapbooks caught up.
