A Layout...at last!

It seems like forever since I actually did
a scrapbook layout.
I've had this picture for a month or two and
just didn't seem to have the umph to do it!!
After visiting my friend Lisa's blog for the
bazillionth time, I decided I would try her style.
I totally LOVE her layouts.
 All the layering she does blows me away.
Now that my lo is finished, I have decided that
it looks NOTHING like Lisa's!!
Her pages are amazing!! How does she do it??
I am pleased with the out come....
it's just that it isn't what it was suppose to be!!
*lol* Don't you love when that happens??
It happens to me often!! *lol*
If you have time, be sure and check out Lisa's blog.
AMAZING works of art!!

For this layout, I used a chipboard border,
that I embossed with white embossing powder.
Then I inked the edges with some brown chalk.
then I layered it on the background paper and cut
the paper to fit inside it. I distressed and inked
the picture mattes with the same brown chalk.
The butterflies are from 3 Tails Crafts.
The gate I cut on my cricut using my
Sure Cuts A Lot program.
Added some lace, flowers and pearls and wa-la....
my lo:

Thanks bunches for stopping by!!
I love to have you visit.
Please leave me a comment so I know you were here!!
I hope you have a wonderful, love filled week!!

Until next time..............tootles!!
