Another layout from yours truly! I’m pretty amazed that I made TWO layouts and TWO Photo Freedom pages this week! Go me, oh yeah! That’s four projects working around photos in one week! That’s more than I usually do in a 6 month period, lol.
I got so much positive feedback on my last layout and it totally gave me the push to try another. I think I am slowly getting better at this. I really love how this one came out. It’s crazy the amount of thought and planning I put into this vs. a huge altered project, lol. I can slam out altered projects pretty quickly.. stick a 12×12 piece of paper in front of me and I get all sorts of confused and stare at it forever.
For this layout I used October Afternoon’s ‘Woodland Park’. It’s quite beautiful and I have tons of it! I just love the color palette here. And butterflies.. gotta love butterflies! I have two butterfly tattoos, my youngest daughters nursery was butterflies, my oldest daughter had a butterfly themed room for awhile.. and now my youngest daughter has owls and butterflies in her room.. see a pattern here? lol.
So here it is!
I did a few lines of white butterflies. I kept them whte because I wanted to add dimension to the page without making it take away from the photo. I think it came out really pretty!
I printed two of the same photo. One in black and white and one in color. I wasn’t sure which version I would like with this layout.. turns out I used both! I just have a bit of the colored version peeking behind the black and white. Of course I stuck on some brads! I love the look of random embellishments here and there.
I stayed away from journaling on this one. I really didn’t have much to say. I just left the stickers ‘Enjoy the day & smile’ and I think that worked perfectly.
I’d love to hear what you think! I’m actually pretty excited to start another one! Who woulda’ thunk it, eh?..
Thanks for stopping by! See ya on MONDAY!

Love the color, the creen, yellow and pink together. Also the details of the corners I have to trying that in one card. I think you have to keep enjoying making layout
Whoa – you’ve been busy! This is gorgeous – and I truly think that you are a layout queen now. LOVE this paper, too – gotta get it out, makes me want to play. So funny – those butterflies sewn together (it’s beautiful touch to the layout by the way
) – we must have been on the same wavelength! I created a card with raindrops all sewn together for my card last night – and I’ve never done this technique before!
This is so gorgeous!!!! I can’t say I’m surprised though – your cards and altered projects are always AMAZING!!!!!! Love the layered pp’s and how you’ve curled the edges
You’d never know by looking at your layouts that you have a hard time coming up with them. You’ve made another beautiful one right here! Love it! Now I’m hoping some of your mojo rubs off on me.
Lookin’ good! How did you stick the butterflies down before sewing? I know putting adhesive down can get into your sewing machine so i have been told not to do it and from the looks of it, the edges are all up so I was just wondering how you did it!
I love the butterflies sewn together. I keep seeing all of this sewing on projects and keep thinking it is time to unearth the beastie and see if I can tame it. Really beautiful layout. I love everything about it the colors,the patterns,etc. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and look forward to reading your post Monday.
Beautiful layout! Those are great papers – and I love the stitching across the butterflies!
