A grey day

I created this layout using the first October sketch at Sketches in Thyme:



I followed the sketch but used tags instead of the two smaller photographs. 

My favourite part of this layout is the beaded thread, which I found in my stash.  I used it for the tassels on the tags and also for the butterfly trail:



I'd like to enter my layout in these challenges:

* Butterfly Challenge ~ add a tag with butterflies
* Scrapbook Fantasies ~ create a layout using tags

Materials:
Webster's Pages Nature's Storybook - Soar Blue Skies patterned paper
UHK Gallery Winter is Coming - Wheel of Fortune patterned paper
Cosmo Cricket Togetherness - Elements patterned paper (fussy cut tag)
Prima Flights of Fancy - Miss Pretty patterned paper (fussy cut butterfly + punches)
Prima Rondelle alphabet stickers
My Memories butterfly punch
Tsukineko VersaCube - Gold ink
Helping Hands beaded craft thread 

Thank you for visiting my blog!
