Charming



Happy Labor Day to all of you who are celebrating today. I wanted to share this quick LO that I did Friday night of my mom.  This pose was a new one of her that I hadn't scrapped before. 

I used some things from my new September Swirlydoos kit .. which is awesome  .. but I don't want to waste it on just any ole photos. So I'm digging around for some of my fave.

My mom was a great seamstress and taught me to sew.  I thought this particular sheet of paper was ideal for a page of her. Lots of layering here .. 6 sheets I think. Some pearls and lace. Some Prima and vintage findings. This paper is so gorgeous in real life. It has lots of red glitter on it and really shines. 

Thanks for visiting. I need to start my round of visiting your blogs later today!
