Little Angel Layout (Dusty Attic and Scrap The Girls)

Happy Thursday

Its almost the weekend I hope you all have something wonderful planned..

I have popped by today to share with you a layout I have created for the Dusty Attic Mood Board Challenge and the Scrap the Girls Challenge.

Here is my interpretation of the DA's mood board and STG sketch

Little Angel

This little angel is my beautiful niece Talisha

Dusty Attic Mood Board

As soon as I saw this mood board I just knew that I wanted to use Pink Paislee's London Market collection that I have had stashed away for ages waiting for the perfect layout to use it on.. the soft vintage feel made me think of this gorgeous photo of my little niece and the combination was perfect.

Dusty Attic products used: Mini Marrakesh Trellis DA0808, Little Angel Title DA0028, Dusty in Colour Sugar Plum DA0908.

Scrap The Girls Sketch

 Each month STG has a different challenge sometimes it's a mood board other a sketch like this months challenge.. I felt the sketch would work perfectly with papers and photo I had chosen..
