 Another layout based on Shimelle’s starting point . This is how my starting point looked like. Pardon the terrible picture and my dirty craft mat. And this is how it ended. More layers, punched scallop circles, journaling tag and a glaze pen. Oh, and some twine. It looks like I caught the twine bug. I don’t care. It makes me happy. Read More »
