Sweet Getaway

I absolutely fell in love with the new challenge from 7 Dots Studio. The design team was asked to use doilies and lace on their projects. Since I pretty much use both of these details on almost all of my layouts, I jumped at the chance to do this assignment. I love mixing different textures of crochet lace and doilies as well as paper doilies. I feel they add a certain warmth and vintage feel to my projects as well as offer a soft and feminine feel.

I find many of my doilies and lace at thrift shops or old antique shops. You can find paper doilies pretty much everywhere – including dollar stores as well as many restaurants! I often tuck the ones found under teacups and plates into my purse straight away!!

I used the beautiful All I Ever Collection from 7 Dots Studio - adore the purple tones in this line and oh how well it coordinates with the gorgeous purples flowers and crystals from ZVA Creative!

Here are a few more close up shots of my layout.  This smaller flower was actually white to begin with but it stood out too much on my layout.  I ended up spritzing with some glimmer mist and voila - a lovely, soft purple flower!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!! See you again soon!
