Focus on This

Here is another layout of Crookhaven, Australia last summer. This is a beautiful picture of my special friend Charlotte enjoying the view.

The PP is Studio Calico, American Crafts and A2Z Essentials. Flowers are Recollections, plus Thickers, BoBunny alpha stickers and vellum from my stash. The velum embossed so nicely with my chickenwire folder! Cool.


I decided to link up with the Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge for a "bit of brown." I stamped a chevron pattern with brown distressing ink, plus the Studio Calico background papers have a bit of brown and I splashed on some Adirondack colour wash in butterscotch (which is pretty brown!). The flowers and branches are brown as well.







Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

What a gorgeous layout and picture!! Can you tell me how you get your layouts so big on your blog as mine look so small and I can't find where to change the settings for this??
