SCRAP YOUR STORY CHALLENGE ~ MY HERITAGE

Hello friends
The challenge over at Scrap Your Story  is to use stitching on your layout :). Well this is something I like to do :)
My layout is a picture of my Grandparents on my Dad's side wedding day


Being a Heritage page I like to use a dash of old lace and the cute little bead bow is from Craftqueen  as is the cherish stamp & the sweet little flower under the turn back




The lace in the bottom right corner that I have added some ink and pan pastel to is from Marally Craft and one of my favourites atm
I was really happy with how this turned out

I have stitched around each layer of Paper
I have journalled on a card and slid in the side with a ribbon  tag.



Thank You for popping by, please let me know you called
Love and Peace
Mary x
