This page was inspired by the September Creative Crew scrapbooking sketch. The colors of the sketch reminded me of the Paisley Petals designer paper, so it was my starting point for the page. I found those pictures of my sister and her boyfriend that matched the paper so perfectly and I inked the borders with Black StazOn to match the other inked elements.
There's a lot of elements going on on this page. I handcut some paisley elements on the river rock paper and added them to my page with Dimensionals. The blue flower in the lower right corner has been cut out of the second sheet of paper and layered on the first page. I used a windowpane to frame a sentiment from the You're a Gem set that says, "Dream your life, live your dream" and I used some other sentiments from that same set to stamp around the pictures and on the tag #"key to my heart," "always," "the little things," "you change my life"#. In the upper right corner, I added a bit of stenciling using the Mostly Vintage stencil and Bravo Burgundy ink, then added a filigree brad in the center. The date was added using chipboard numbers from the Merry Medley On Board chipboard set.
TFL!

You really nailed this challenge! I love what you came up with. The entire thing is awesome, but my favorite part is the handcut paisley elements, what a great idea! Thanks for inspiring me!
