Delicate Beauty

Designer: Gabrielle Pollacco

Designer Tip: I don't like to waste the beautiful patterned papers so when I use a paper to frame my layout I cut out the inside area and use it for another part of the layout. In this case I used the darker brown paper to cut out a circle design and I added brads and some kitchen twine to create my circle embellishments.  Another tip to share is that I handmade the blooms by gathering strips of lace.
