Her Thinking Spot

The new CSI Challenge # 75 is up, these colours where more to my liking ;) and of course I combined the challenge with Tracey G's Challenge to "Scrap outside your comfort zone" over at Scrap That!  and for me that is Layers.  I love the look of all the beautiful layered papers and embellies but can never seem to get it to work for me.  So for now I'll keep it simple ;)

For this layout I printed out different quotes to I found on Pinterest.  I wanted to to convey to my daughter the importance of loving herself.  I then layered my paper, photo, a Karen Foster border strip that I "white washed", a left over piece of a sticker strip from MME and some Prima Ribbon.  I then used water colours on some American Crafts fabric thicker (LOVE!)  For the embellished strip going across the top of the page I again "white washed" a piece of Chatterbox Pattern paper, crumpled it and used my circle punches to create some flowers and my mini heart punch to create a banner effect.  I'm liking how it turned out :)  The beautiful photo was taken by my wonderfully talented friend at Rhonda Calvitto Images

Pattern Paper is Chatterbox and Studio Calico

Border strips are Karen Foster and MME
