Hello there everyone :)
Today I'm back to share my 3rd layout using Teresa Collins Daily Stories as part of my April DT work for All About Scrapbooks
I can't stress enough how gorgeous this collection is...and if you've ever worked with a Teresa Collins collection before, you will know the quality of the paper - it is nice and thick, and has a lovely texture to it which makes it wonderful to work with!! So I suggest you grab yourself some of this one....and perhaps you might want to think about getting 2 of each paper, because both sides are equally gorgeous, and you'll find it hard to decide which to use....but having 2 of each = problem solved! :D
So here is my layout, that is based on the April mood board at Scrap Around The World
"2 of a Kind"
My page turned out very different to how it first started - which was a disaster!! But when it's a DT layout, and your 3rd for the month, pretty much means there's not going to be alot of papers left, so it's not like I could just give up on it & chuck it out, although I did feel like doing that at one point, because it really did look awful. But I walked away from it, and came back to it several hours later to end up with something that I really like! Who would have thought! I just wish I would have take a photo of is when it was looking so bad!
Here is the April mood board over at Scrap Around The World
My inspiration from the mood board was the soft mint green colour in the top 2 photos, the crackle effect in the bottom centre photo, and the butterflies in the bottom left photo :)
On with some close ups...

Take care everyone! xx
Absolutely lovely. Love how you layered some of the butterflies. And the colours are beautiful from the inspiration board.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about near-disasters - I recently saved a page after spilling half a bottle of BLACK Glimmermist on it! There are no signs of a bad past on your page though :)
This is really lovely, I love the crackle back ground and they are lovely papers too!
ReplyDeleteLove this one a lot, the background stencil looks fabulous and I'd love to have that one, must look into it.
