A Good Friend Knows all your best Stories

Hello Mary here to share another layout for my daughters wedding album . I also created the layout for a challenge at Artastic where the theme is Girls Only. You can view the story on my blog 

To create the layout I have combined two ranges . I have used the 12 x 12 Paper from the Lavande Range as my base and to it I added the A4 size Spring Pastels Range . I really liked how the two combined created a lovely pastel palette that are also the colours in the bouquets .

I have fussy cut the flowers and Laugh images from the Cut and Create Papers and added some pink sheer ribbon from Megs Store as well.

I love the soft delicate feel the Hydrangea petals falling down the page give which I have also fussy cut from the Shabby Chic cut and create sheet.

Also sharing a card made with the Shabby Chic Background card pack paper. You receive 12 backgrounds in the pack , 2 of each design . Makes card making so easy

I have used one of the new dies in the shop , the wildflower die ( the doily die is from my own stash) Lace from Megs shop and the Lilac and butterfly images fussy cut from the Shabby Chic  cut and create sheet 
Meg has a load of new product in the store at the moment, fabulous dies and so much more .
I hope you take the time to pop over and check them out.

Happy Creating

' Watercolour in Blue' papers

available in various sizes to suit all forms of scrapping

I titled my album 'Life's Simple Pleasures' as we can all

Cherish, Imagine,Laugh, Create,Dream, Inspire, Live & Smile

I covered the album with fabric which is slightly padded on the front 

adding the blue heart which has extra padding, the buttons are stitched on

a pretty spray of flowers & butterfly to finish.

for the spine I used 6 eyelets & threaded torn matching fabric through ..
