Blessed Layout

I need to take a step away from my Project Life posts today to share a traditional scrapbooking layout with you that we'll be making at my next Scraps and Prayers class.  It has a Fall/Vintage look to it, which I love and you know how much I love this banner look on a page.
I started with a Crumb Cake base, added a layer of DSP and then added distressing and stamping with Soft Suede ink before attaching it.  The DSP is a 10" square.  
The banner is made with our burlap ribbon and die cut letters.  I actually sewed the linen thread through the banner, leaving long ends of thread at each end of the banner to tie a bow.

I sewed the 2 vintage buttons onto the top ribbon before attaching it to my page.  You could place 1-3 smaller photos on the left page and perhaps try 1 large photo on the right page.  Photos printed in sepia tones would look gorgeous on pages like these.
If you haven't tried this style of look in scrapbooking yet, I hope you'll give it a try.

Jumping Back In... my Gorgeous Winter Wreath

After the very unexpected death of my husband's sister and the events following that, it's hard to know where to begin, so I'll just jump right in and start by showing you the gorgeous Winter Wreath I made just before all these events.  I absolutely love it.  It's based on the one in our big catalog.  Of course, I had to put my own take on it, to make it truly mine.


I added lots more ribbon because I just love ribbon.  I added subtle sponging and lots of silver glimmer paper.  I also changed out the Soft Sky (used on the wreath in our big catalog) for Pool Party.  The reason I did this is so that it would coordinate with the Joy Banner we'll be making at my Christmas Retreat --- on November 16 (10:00-4:00) or November 17 (2:00-8:00).  They will look great decorating your home for Christmas.

So, what do you think?  You'd be amazed at how easy it is to make it.  We'll be making this one at my November Stamp Club on November 4.  The beauty of doing something like this in a class is that I prepare everything for you and you just show up and dig in.  You'll have a beautiful wreath for the holidays by the end of the class.  It involves a lot of materials but, by sharing them in a club, it cuts down on the expense for each person and you don't have to worry if you don't have a tool or die needed to make the project.
