Beautiful Venice Layout





































Are you ready for the three hundedred layouts I must do of Lexi's trip to Italy? If you follow me on the FB, you know that the oldest has been gone for a thousand years having adventures and basically eating amazing food. THE MAN got her a good data plan so we're in constant contact which is nice, but then again some of those food photos...





































I did also manage to score this awesome selfie. So pretty! Love the water and the architecture of Venice and my sweet girl's face. She looks wise, doesn't she? Check out the cool beautiful paper piecing title and those awesome green leaves! Jean hooked me up with those during our Crafternoon and I couldn't wait to use them.

 That little bird is a gift from Yvonne and I pulled a Lizzy Hill trick where I inked it up and then used nailpolish to move the color around, so it's tinted a very light blue. I had to also sharpie the eye ball. It was making me crazy not having color in it...check out the photo above and see if you like it better this way...





































In a fit of saving, I had kept this blue bottom petal off some kind of flower that worked perfectly here for clustering. It kinda pulls out the blue of the water. I so do love using flowers on shabby pages like this!

Well, I'm back next week with a cool gift I got at my Crafternoon that I thought you'd like to see...

  1. Nicely done! Great job with the bird...it never used to bother me but now I think I need to Sharpie in the eye too!

    Can't wait to see the rest of the Itay photos ...especially the food ones! I still reminisce about eating my gelato while roaming in Rome.

  5. She looks wise and pretty and also very pulled together, given that her scarf works so beautifully with the buildings in the background! A picture with a scrapbooking mum in mind :)
