Papermaze Design Team - Carta Bella Spring Market

I have a scrapbook layout this week on the Papermaze blog using the Carta Bella Spring Market collection. I choose to use two photos of Lara taken many years ago when she was 'helping' with the gardening.

I started with a 12x12 white Bazzill cardstock base which I trimmed slightly and matted on the pink patterned paper. A horizontal strip of the 'Market Planters' paper and thin strips of the wood grain paper were glued near the bottom of the layout and a square of the pink paper. I machine stitched with black thread around the edge of the layout and edge of the pink square.

My 4x6 photos were matted on the woodgrain paper and stuck to the layout using 3D foam to add some dimension.

I fussy cut lots of flowers and leaves from the 'Market Floral'paper and used these to create clusters on three corners of the photos.

I added some Studio Calico wood veneer butterflies, a tiny fussy cut trowel, brads from Simple Stories Domestic Bliss collection, stickers and die cuts.

In the top right corner I created a banner using paper flags from the die cut pack, wood veneer hearts and another fussy cut flower. I machine stitched across the top of the banner.

My layout was completed with a title die cut from the woodgrain paper and I added computer printed journalling strips at the bottom.
