Beautiful Life
I was instantly drawn to the soft tones of the All I Ever Collection from 7 Dots Studio and had originally planned to do a very feminine, pink, layout with lots of flowers and frills. For whatever reason, the darker toned paper kept staring at me…beckoning me to make my first cut.
I had already chosen the black and white photos that I wanted to use for this project and because the photos included both my son and daughter, I felt I could go either way – masculine or feminine. When I placed the photos next to the darker paper I actually preferred how it complimented the papers so well.
So… what was originally going to be a very shabby chic, girly layout, turned out to be more of a shabby chic, gender neutral layout – LOL! I hope you like the final outcome. Just goes to show that not every layout requires flowers to be ‘beautiful’ or girly.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Such a beautiful layout, it's absolutely stunning!
This is just beautiful Tara, great for both genders and I love your detail. I keep trying but just can't get my pages looking like yours - I think I'll have to scraplift one for my own personal use (no competitions. xxx
Tara, this is beautiful.
Where do you get all your doilies?

So pretty! I like the dark shows off the sweet lace and how those paint dribbles keep it from being too precious. Awesome designing.
