Three Designer Challenge - Davinie

Today we are featuring Davinie. She used the same Making Memories Noteworthy products to create her own project.

I often struggle with wanting to use both the A and B side of a piece of patterned paper.  This was the case with the double-sided striped paper from the Delaney collection.  I wanted to use the stripes as the background, but I also wanted to use a little bit of the pink on the reverse side.  I thought both sides complimented the colors in my photos so well.  What I ended up doing was trimming two 1 inch stripes from the right side of the striped paper.  I then layered the flower die-cut circle and the double-sided ledger circle over the space I trimmed out so that you can’t see the space.  I used those two strips of pink paper on either side of the ledger circle paper, B side. 

Because of the design on my layout, the orange strip covered some of the flower detail on the circle die-cut paper.  To showcase it I simply trimmed the flowers from the paper on the lower right and layered it over the top.  I added some orange glittered die-cut flowers on part of the floral pattern to add more glitter to the layout, which complimented the glittered alphas that I used. In addition I trimmed a tip of a flower on the upper part of the circle, and tucked the orange and pink strip underneath it.

After adhering my photos, trims, title, and cutout work, I finished off the layout with some hand stitching around the strip.  I just love the finished look that hand-stitching gives to a scrapbook layout.
