Echo Park *For the Record* ' Lady love'.





I am having so much fun this month with my fabulous products from Your Scrapbook Stash.

I want to share another layout using "For the Record" from Echo Park.

The pictures are of Beatrice and our kitten, Lady. We have had Lady for a few months and we love her to bits! Beatrice wanted a pet for the longest time but we did not think she was ready.When she was ten we
bought Lady from a 'shelter'.

Today Beatrice came to me cuddling the kitten and said;
If you dream about something and you think it is going to happen, in the end it will!

It made me happy that she has got that outlook on life!



I made this layout for the sketch challenge over at The Paper Variety. It is one of the sites that Your Scrapbook Stash is sponsoring this month.
The gorgeous sketch was made by the talented Jana Eubank.


























Papers are almost exclusively Echo Park and also the letter stickers. The chipboard stickers are Pink Paislee from my stash. The black doily is Maya Road. I even used twine and a button from my stash.I made the die cut label with a die from Quickutz.

I used pop dots behind the flags for the banner. I photographed the layout outside and I quite of like the shadows cast by the afternoon sunshine.

 
























Some more close ups:
























It was a long time since I made one of these pleated flowers. I had decided that I was not going to use the ususal collections of flowers on this. Sometimes I get a feeling that people use far too many flowers on any kind of layout. It is so easy to add some flowers and everything looks good!
