Shimelle's new online class started this week and is all about using up patterned papers that we may have a stash of. Well,I certainly do have a few that could be used up...
The first idea is to find some papers that are basically all in the same shades of one colour....
I kind of stuck to it - I had two or three half pages of Dear Lizzie papers and went with those.. I love these photos of Dad last year - he was at our house watching the wedding of William and Kate sitting with Archie - fond memories indeed. I strayed off colour a bit with the embellishments but - I love the layout- so that's the main thing.
It's getting a bit busy here this evening - I'm off on a weekend retreat tomorrow. I should really be packing totes and mini totes. Photos are all ready,so that's a start!
Here's another little card I made last night ..
Better go and get sorted, I'll try and post a bit from there during the weekend.

Lovely layout of a lovely man x (his daughter's not bad either ;-) )
Really pretty - of course I'd agree that if you only use one color - make it pink! Your card is lovely too. That class sounds like a blast.
Both gorgeous projects, I love the rosettes on the layout and the shape and colour of the card are beautiful

Those pretty embellishments pick up the colours in the photos perfectly!
