Tea for Two Just Add Ink Layout Challenge

This was fun!  I just discovered that Just Add Ink holds a scrapbooking challenge each month (where have I been??), so I gave it a go.  Madeleine asked me to scrap these photos next (I find it quite cool how they are now giving me photos and asking me to scrapbook them).

Here is the sketch:

And here is my creation:

I have been hoarding these Calypso Coral polka dot sheets out of the packs for a while because I though they were so fun and happy and perfect for a layout.  Happy coincidence that colour worked in with the minor photo (confess I 'made' it work!)

I LOVE the new burlap trim in the Seasonal Catalogue – had to use it on here!  And paired with the ribbon rose flowers, it looks really cool.  Just perfect for these shots of sort of a young vintage look.

I brought in the Wisteria Wonder to match Madeleine's hat and jacket.  I'm  not sure why she wore a zippered jacket with a lace dress, but the mix of elements went okay with the yin yang of these embellishments, too.

I used the Netting stamp on these Typeset letters to give it a little bit of texture.  I left it as is; I didn't want this particular layout to be too fussy.  The "clean vintage look" is what I call it.  Perfect for the young, fresh face featured here.

Thanks for the fun!
