Just a Bit Out Of My Comfort Zone!

I just couldn't resist joining in on the fun with K. Andrew and her Vintage Challenge this week. If I had to choose my favorite technique or style I would have to choose Vintage or Shabby Chic. I don't do a lot of layouts however I am teaching a scrapbook class at Michael's and had to make some sample :LO to show my abilities. I actually shocked myself. I absolutely fell in love with this LO. The subject was my inspiration . The little angel in the picture is my husband's grand-baby. Isn't she the cutest? You should see the red hair! For me this pose just screamed "vintage" and that's exactly where it took me in the choice of color scheme and papers. I also challenged myself with attempting to make everything homemade and I almost succeeded. There are two "newsprint flowers" and pearls on the LO that came from Michaels-the rest of the embellishments were either cut with the Cricut, punches or made by hand.
