Denim & Lace - LGS

Simply Perfect in Every Way


This is my 1st ever challenge for Let's Get Shabby. Have been checking out this site for a while now and always mean to get around to having a go. I missed out last months as I didn't realise your entries need to be in by the 20th of the month, so when I saw the denim and lace challenge I made sure I would get this one in on time.

Had a lot of fun with this challenge. Brittany was very accommodating and let me take quite a few pics. I had a few where she is wearing jeans but this close up was too gorgeous to go past and I had to use it. Found an old pair of jeans and started chopping away. I used a circle of denim on the title embellishment and you can't see it very well, but I pleated the denim around the larger circle and overlayed it with some cerise lace. There is also a bit of denim on the layered doily embellishments.

Hand cut an old K&Co pp and some new Prima for the flowers and butterflies. The other pp's are new MME Stella Rose, Prima Madeline, Crate Paper & Jenni Bowlin. The gorgeous flourish was painted with a navy shimmer paint and is from Scrap FX. I stamped around the background with a little lace border stamp from the new MME Stella Rose collection and finished off with a few buttons and brads and of course a some splashes of glimmer mist in scarlet.

WOO HOO - Exciting News

I have had 2 of my LO's chosen for challenges last month. One for the Get Picky sketch challenge and one for Scrap the Girls. The prize from Get Picky is a gorgeous Pink Paislee pack and STG's was a kit/voucher from Scrapbooking from Scratch. So very excited and can't wait to get my goodies... thanks so much girls!!








Thanks for stopping by and leaving some love :)
