Wee Bit of Heaven

im particularly happy with this layout because of all the "leftovers" i used up while doing it! Im a total pack rat, and never throw anything away, so when i started this one i challenged myself to use up some of that stuff. the background paper is DCWV The Luxury Stack, and the papers layered behind the photo are actually the backings from some K & Co. chipboard sets that i thought were too pretty to throw away. I trimmed them with Fiskar's decorative edged scissors, and distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz ink pad called Antique Linen. I used Hambly Transparencies for the white cornering pieces, and rub ons for the stitching and the small bouquet of flowers on the middle right side of the photo. The caption on the pic is a clear epoxy sticker, and the rest of the accents are from a black and white chipboard set that i got at Target. the left side of the photo is a border sticker by Colorbok, and the flowers are from the Build a Blossom Kit. I edited the pic in photoshop to grayscale and used the lumienense curves to wash out the background color and create the really bright feel to the photo.
*NEW EDIT* thanks to everyone who left such sweet comments on this page - i really appreciate each and every one of you!
