This sketch from ScrapFriends . . .
or this from Scrapbook Boutique . . .
I, for one, loved them both, and here is the page I created using both of them as my inspiration . . .
When you see a page like this from me, with the patterned paper as a border behind the cardstock, it means one of two things. Either it is a paper I have had sitting around for a while and I'm glad to be finally using it, or I've cut the middle out before attaching the cardstock down (usually by sewing for extra stability).
No prizes for guessing which one I've done this time . . .
The pink patterned paper is from my Counterfeit Kit, and pretty much everything else is my "Plus One". The "postcards" are from a recently purchased Kaisercraft paper. As well as postcards on one side, it has a gorgeous butterfly pattern on the other. I rarely buy more than one sheet of the same paper, but if they still have this one in stock next time I drop into my local Scrapbook shop, I will totally buying another sheet or two!
beautiful page and such a great idea to incorporate a postcard and use it as a journaling spot! thanks for playing along with us at ScrapFriends!!

I so agree with Sanna, this is a beautiful page. Love the flowers you have made and such an inspiring blog! Thanks for joining us at Scrap Friends :)
ReplyDeleteGreat page - I also used a sketch today and cut out the middle of my background page (to use a bit of the reverse around the edges) :). I need to look for that Kaisercraft paper, the postcards are really nice!
ReplyDeleteOh I love that patterned paper background with the matching layered flower Julie - great way to tie the layout all together.
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love your LO, it's the perfect take on both the challenges!

Such a pretty page. Those flowers are gorgeous and the pop of white so eye-catching. But my favorite is the postcard too. I just bought a postcard outline stamp to use in much the same way.
