PIXEL AND PAPER CHALLENGE ~ WISH

Good afternoon on this sunny Sunday. Today I wanted to share a layout that I did for the challenge over at Pixel and Paper . This is the image to take inspiration from
It is funny how some layouts are a punish to do and others just come together effortlessly. This morning I picked up the photo and just started adding things here and there, mostly stuff that was on my desk and it all came together quite easily 
I had left over gold paint from class yesterday and as I can't bear to waste anything I brought it home and used it to paint a doily. Yep that will do nicely for my layout thank you :)
The stars and flower edge I punched from left over scraps. The cobweb ribbon and satin seam binding are from Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ as is the gorgeous MME brad. The chippy words are from Scrapmatts I have used coffee stained canvas and muslin behind the tag and left the canvas threads



This is our beautiful GS Jedd

Then this is my layout for my class yesterday. I think I stress more about class layouts. I wonder is it good enough, etc, etc.



Sometimes less is more. Oh and seeing Christmas is creeping up ever so quickly, a card 

Enjoy what is left of the weekend and have a fabulous week. A pic of my part of the world, not a bad view from work


Love and Peace
Mary x

Way to use the leftovers from the table to mske something beautiful. I can't say I have ever met a crafter who throws stuff away, and this is why! Scraps make for a striking page. I love how your embellishments are layered, it gives them life. Thank you for joining us this month on pixels and paper!
