This layout makes you just say “awww!” Like many of the layouts i’ve shown, this one uses a lot of popular techniques. I love the use of different paper products. From the edged paper, to the torn notebook page, this page looks very complete. It has the perfect balance. I think that usually we tend to use more ebellishments, but i like how this page uses little ebellishments, and more paper accents. Try using the same techniques in more of our layouts. Or try and turn this page into a two-paged layouts. Have a Fabulous week!!
