So I challenged myself to work on a layout without getting my hands "dirty"...aka no mists, paints or inks...old school scrapbooking.
Since the DCWV patterned papers came from a pack, they were all coordinated so it was quick to put this page together. The one for my background even had glitter on it...gotta love a paper that does all the hard work for you...*winks*
The part that took the longest time was the machine stitching...and only because I had to rethread the bobbin...why can't bobbins hold more thread, right?

Great take on the sketch. Fabulous page. Thanks for playing at LGS.
Thats a clever trick to let the pattern paper do the job! The many details you added enhance the layout so perfectly!
so beautiful!
Gosh, that's a beautiful page. I can't believe it was patterned paper. The stitching is the best part. Great color choices and embellishments.
That pattern paper is lovely and the papers you chose for your mats complement it so well.I think you are awesome at combining patterns and colours.You mom looks uber glamorous in the pic.:-)
so beautiful..love the stitching on it..haha right Yvonne retreading takes time ..but i will thread 2 or three bobbins of color i use frequently so when one is empty i place the other :)
Hi Yvonne! I love your "old school" scrapbook page! It's gorgeous. Your design is perfect for the wonderful photos! And the stitching adds the perfect touch!
Love the layout! So pretty! I use to swap out bobbins, now I stick to the same color threads.
That background paper is so amazing, it looks like it's had some mixed media treatment already... Love all the detail, and love the color combo. Your stitching and the black mats really makes everything pop. Love the beaded trim, the sequins and gems, and all those beautiful flowers, too!
I don't understand this, "Yvonne not getting her hands dirty" -- this confuses me -- is this a phrase commonly known out there??? LOL!!! :) I loveeeeeeee this!!! It totally looks like you went wild on that background, so that paper is perfect!!! GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!
Love it and your Momma is beautiful!
