'Carpe Diem', for Papirdesign

Once again I enjoyed pulling out my collection of lovely papers from Papirdesign to make a page for my regular post there. I had some photos taken last Summer that went very well with that rose paper.

 I incorporated into my design some tags made from other patterned paper and also cut out a doily with my Silhouette Cameo. I cut the doily in two and used both above and underneath my photo.

 I used lots of the Papirdesign mini roses in my clusters. I just love them!

Actually everything on this layout was made by Papirdesign except for two of the flowers. 

Have you noticed the dainty blue gardenia flower in the lower right hand corner? It is a new style for PD and they come in a lot of different pretty colours.

 Love the bling swirl too. Papirdesign have awesome swirls and they are so huge you can divide and use them on several projects. This time I kept the backing foil and just cut around the bling. I like the effect it creates and I find it adds more texture.

Lately I go through a lot of thread on my sewing-machine LOL! I do a lot of stitching and so even on this page. It actually takes quite a bit of time but I like the look.

Thanks for dropping by to check out my page!
