With no particular plan in mind, I dug through my papers, punches, stamps and embellies and came up with a page that I am quite happy with!
When I found the #grateful wooden embellishment I knew I had found my title. It really says it all.
For the background, I started with one of my coveted peeling paint pattern papers. Then I used three different BoBunny background stamps to add some interest.
One of my favorite go-to elements are my doilies. I think they work so well with all sorts of layouts and cards. On this design, it added just a hint of 'pretty' for the one female in the photo - ME! I also couldn't resist adding some sequins for just a touch of bling.
I am entering this layout into a challenge over at Challenge YOUrself. It is anything goes this month, as long as YOU are in the layout! This great challenge blog has been around for a while, and I have always wanted to play along. Thanks for stopping by :)
