Well, it is beginning to feel like summer is coming to a close so quickly. Anyone else feeling that way? Of course, I have a few things going on right now, so my days seem shorter at the moment.
Fancy Pants has done it again with a new collection that is perfect for documenting your summer photos. It is called Summer's End, and the color palette is made up of soft tones. Definitely not bold colors, which is why I chose to use the simple doily as my main embellishments on this page.
"So Tweet"
I do not know why, but when I first saw this collection, I knew I wanted to create a border of different size doilies. I decided to build them across the middle of the page, underneath Macie's sweet photos. {Note: I have been sharing lots of girl pages lately, but will have a boy scrapbook page on Friday. Roman, decided to remind me of this today.}
a few details:
I used the Cuttlebug Retro Kitchen Embossing Folder to add a more dainty touch to the diecut doilies. I really love this folder. Of course, one of my go to embellishments is the paper butterfly. A simple stitch in the middle of each one, completed them.
In the centers of the diecut doilies are premade doilies that are included in the Summer's End Embellishment Pack. I did handcut a few too from one of the patterned papers.
For my journaling I chose to use this strip of words on the rub on accessory sheet. It expressed my sentiment perfectly. I love the birds in this paper collection. They are so sweet!
Here, I layered two butterflies together, and adhered them to a journal diecut from the collection. I believe I cut it from one of the 3x3 cards. I added a rubon underneath the butterfly, for a simple last detail.
Next, you are going to want to see what the Pocket Chicks created with this collection. As always, their designs inspire me! {Click here} to see on the Fancy Pants Blog.
See you tomorrow with a page of my favorite holiday!
So perfect!! I love the doily on the utside but I don't see where it's from. Is it Fancy Pants too? Or a die cut?
Gorgeous page as always I just love seeing your crations!!!
