WMS Blog Waltz - August





This month we had to create a Vintage/Shabby chic project. Now, although I absolutely love this style on everyone else's projects, I don't have the knack for it. I really don't like bulky cards so I don't do too much layering on my cards....but I so love embellishing srapbook LO's. Used the Vintage Labels 4 stamp set on the scallop and the label on the accordion flower. Got these ideas from Ingrid Danvers, here and Maggie Holmes, here.

  6. Great to see another scrapbook page. Glad you found a way to use the vintage/shabby on something you enjoy. I had to do a card cause I haven't done it at all on a layout. But I just might have to try it after seeing your beautiful page!

  12. Wonderful layout. Great colours in the photo that were echoed on the page. Your August 3 card for Vintage/Shabby shows you can do this style quite well indeed.
