Paper Secrets 19

Good morning

here's my layout I did for the challenge over at PaperSecrets.  Each week we are given an assignment for a layout. I really don't care if I win the contest, it's just helping me to do more layouts that I should have done a long time ago (or some new ones in this case). If you participate and follow the guidelines you advance to the next week. We started with 27 and 10 moved on again last week, these ladies are serious about their scrapping.  I will keep updating you as I go along. Who knows, I might not be able to participate one week and then I am out, but until then, I am scrapping my butt off, (they used a different word, but my blog is family friendly...hehehe

So now I am a bit intimidated about a lot of white

area on my layouts...I am a firm believer of covering

every little spot...well....

not anymore...I just love how this layout turned out.

First I must say that having little Miss Bella to scrap

is a perfect page in itself, but I am absolutely in love 

with this page.  The only thing I do not like is my 

journaling, but that goes without saying.  

I hate my handwriting.

The only time I used my E-Craft was for cutting the mat. 

What I used for the layout is in red:

raw chipboard (leave raw , paint, ink, etc....your choice)
border punch
flowers/leaves
bling
fabric/felt
rubons
stamped image
hand or machine stitching
glitter/micro beads
ribbon/lace

Now this page inspired another creation and if you tune in tomorrow you just may get to see what I am talking about.  I will have my Festive Friday post in the early morning, but you all may be in for another post sometime tomorrow too.
