Do What You Love. Using those gorgeous Authentique Papers again!

A couple of months ago I bought three different whole collections from"Authentique Paper".

 The one I have used the most Is called "Uncommon" and has the most feminine colours and patterns. That is the one I used for this layout.I really had so much fun doing this one.

I made it nearly two months ago and had almost forgotten about it.

That photo of Beatrice is so cute (Fotograf Gisela Ackerup took it, she's on FB)

What I love most here is the, for me, unusual shape and outlay. Mostly my layouts are pretty square in form and I normally just leave a little white space. 

So for me this one is a bit different.

To make the 'cornucopia-shape' I first fussy cut  a whole lot of those beautiful red pink and grey roses they have. I placed my photo in the right spot and started dding the roses from there. 

When I was content with the look I proceeded adding my dimensional roses on top.

I picked a beautiful flourish from Imaginarium Designs to 'frame' my photo. I cut in two after covering it with white paste.At the bottom of this post I will show you what it looks like bare.

 I have a doily as a photo mat and the doily in the upper corner is cut from one of the AP papers that has a doily pattern. I used my trusted Cheery Lynn die to cut that one.

The black letter stickers are fabric stickers by Prima Marketing. I really love that they are so textural.

 

I distressed all the edges of my textprint patterned base.

I cut a frame about 1,5 cm wide and sewed it on, after first securing it will a couple of drops of glue.

As it is not completely stuck down it can easily be torn and lifted in the way you want to leave you with a beautifully distressed border.

Here is a picture of my beautiful ID flourish:

And HERE is the link to it.

I have just started using my blue collection of Authentique Paper. 

 I almost never use blue so this should be fun,...lol!

Yesterday I received my large box of goodies from Stop and Scrap and I am in scrap heaven!!

Don't forget you get a slightly larger discount (12%) using the S and S code in my sidebar compared to most of the newsletters they send out. Just write 'paperglue' in the right spot.

That was all for today.

Tomorrow I am off with my girls to a scrap fair about an hour from here by car. 

I feel like a kid in a candy store!

Keep safe!
