Hi everyone... today I have a layout to share with you that was a huge challenge for me.  The dark deep colours and patterns really threw me for a curve ball, but I got there; and got there happy! 

This started as a single... but ended up as a kinda double.  Usually I do double pages like I would a single {as one spread}, but I had already cut most of my original page, so I mirrored the background design. This way I can use them as singles, or as a double!

I kept it quite simple... and embellished with deep red flowers.  These were bought as a bunch and then pulled apart, what a great idea when looking for something that little bit different.  I've also tucked in a pincushion flower, roses and cherry blossoms from Green Tara, they finish of the large bold flowers perfectly.

I also created a deep fancy ruffle, overlaying the paper with Black Tulle and some gorgeous blingy trim I found in my stash.

I've tucked in some bible pages... not sure how naughty that is in the eyes of God, but at least I read some of it first!  It was needed for the concert pages though, with that stunning opening scene of hers with the huge cross and the music and the chanting and oh em gee it was incredible!   I chose pages that had relevant headers, adding that extra little touch.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Hiya lovelies!!

How perfectly lovely are these new papers from Pion Design, they are from the Alma's Sewing Room Collection.  Blissful.  Need More... LOL!

Trust me to decide I HAD to use it to scrap our visit to Tiffany's flagship store on 5th Avenue, NY... when it's grey/blue and Tiffany's signature colour is that fabulous aqua {no wonder I love aqua}.  But I got around it by reducing the colour saturation of the photo - love Photoshop!

Tiffany's was wonderful... a little piece of paradise.  Unfortunately by the time I got there I was hot, tired and just wanted to sit down... and since there were wonderful lounges in there to do just that, I did... sigh, perfection!

This layout was FUN... girly girl fun with the lovely soft pastels, and naturally I had to add all kinds of bling tucked in here and there.  I've used some beautiful soft trim underneath the ruffle to add even more softness to the page.

I nabbed one of the blue/grey flowers I've made for Natasha {sorry darl, but you still have plenty} because the colour was just right, then rummaged through my stash for more flowers.  The cherry blossoms were originally white and I coloured them with Faded Denim paint watered down to make a mist. 

Some more angles of my cluster of yummies... the blingy accent in the right below was from Tomorrow's Memories.  Just one of their gorgeous trinkets they always have.  I bought it ages ago and saved it for just the right layout.

Oh you may be wondering what I got from Tiffany's... you'll have to wait until I open it.  I saved it for my birthday, I have just a few more days!

Thanks for visiting!  Until next time, be sure to take care of you!
