Back to school

I'm sharing this page at:

The bright purple/pink paper has been in my stash for so many years because I found it quite tricky to use or match. 

* Life is Art ~ Scraptastic online crop, using scavenger hunt items beginning with B - BoBunny papers {Alissa + Jazmyne collections], book pages, brads {Kaisercraft Imagine collection}, border punch {Fiskars Threading Water} and black journalling pen.

Pumpkin Patch

Back in the early days when they had cute clothes and great quality! I made two companion pages because I couldn't decide which photo to scrap.

I'm sharing this page at The Hut Creative for the May challenge ~

* Fabric - Used as a background {Alexander Henry Fabrics - Shopping Bag - 2005 collection}.
* Handmade embellishment - I made a tag from embossed cardstock, lace and a fussycut motif from the same fabric.

Also pretty chuffed to use this lovely ribbon, which has been in my stash forever! {Bo Bunny Pink Ruffle Wrap ribbon}.
