You can tell that I'm really working through the patterned paper stash when really "old" papers come into play. Sometimes I look at my patterned papers and wonder what possessed me to get them in the first place...then I remember that I have well-meaning friends who passed me their stash when they gave up scrapbooking. :)
I do like to challenge myself to use unusual patterns and colour combos.
So I added a punch of maroon for the photo mat and slowly added textured elements to create interest.
I really wanted to add stitching but an empty bobbin killed that thought immediately [ahem*lazy bones*] so faux stitching in the form stickers it became! *winks*

I have a lot of "what was I thinking??" patterned papers too... like you, they're hand-me-downs or things I've won. I should commit to trying to use them somehow.
Well, I absolutely love that you are working your way through your old papers... Even the what was I thinking collection, gifted or not! I think we all have that stash, and it's inspiring to see somebody embrace theirs. I think your layout is stunning! Love the bold colors and patterns, and always love your details. Super sweet photos, too!
A great layout and you certainly made these papers work. Thank you for playing along with us at The Studio.
Stunning page - love the play of pattern and colors here.
Super page, Yvonne! Love your sweet pics and that little bit of twine, and your enamel dot placement is too fun! Thanks so much for playing along with us in The Studio!
