    I really like all of the various borders, what a great idea to stack different ones up like that. The background DP is really cool, so subtle, you think on first look that it's solid but it's got a great pattern.

    Beautiful layout. Love this color combo and the way the multilayered borders and delicate accents really highlight the photo without overpowering it.

  27. AlyssaMarch 24, 2012 at 12:47 PM

    I ADORE this LO! You are more talented than I am with those scissors. I have, probably 20 pairs, that came in a set years and years and years ago. I can never get them lined up right so the pattern repeats correctly. Mostly, I'm just inpatient =] I do really really really want that Cricut Cart now!

  28. DeannaMarch 24, 2012 at 1:58 PM

    Well done with those scissors... I find them to be a huge PITA! lol I haven't made much use of my CM Reminisce Accents cart, as of yet, but this is definitely inspiring!

    Christina, I love your LO. You have reminded me of two things that I like to do but don't do often enough, 1) layering 2) using my cricut for borders. Thanks.

    I don't see my comment from before...so I'll post again (sorry if you see it twice).

    I'm not usually a pink fan, like AT ALL, but this is such a muted version of it and it looks absolutely stunning with the brown. Shhh, don't tell anyone that I like something with pink in it! =D

    Hi Christina - Nice page! I love MME's "Lost & Found". It's so pretty I've barely used any, but you've inspired me to "get into that paper" and use some more of it!
    Thanks!!
