The Sweet Life

Here is a layout I made while away on our annual craft retreat to Easthampstead Park with an amazing  bunch of crafty girls.

The photo was taken at one of our monthly crops last year, when we celebrated my birthday. The talented Anita surprised me by making cakes and altered the photo to bring out the blues.

I have been planning to scrap this photo for almost a year and had picked these Indigo Skies papers from Kaisercraft for the purpose.

The base is a sheet of Shibori  with the white side up. Then the wooden strips were created from a sheet of Misty paper. The butterflies were fussy cut from a sheet of Chambray and the wings raised with foam pads. The butterflies were given a sparkle with some Nuvo Glitter Drops.

The lettering was cut from a sheet of Blue Moon Paper, and a little journalling was written on one of the wooden panels.

Thanks for looking
