Looking forward to spring!

Here is a design that I did for my local scrapbook store. Graphic 45 is a neat paper crafting company that always creates unique, vintage inspired paper lines. Although I might not initially think of this line for pages with young children, I was challenged to come up with a layout that used this 1920's/30's paper in a current way. Graphic 45's papers are different and very colorful. Sometimes the backs of the papers are more fun than the fronts -- bright, patterned solids that coordinate together, and with other paper lines beautifully. Tip: When you are shopping for unigue paper, turn the patterns over to check out the other side before you decide that a particular line will or won't work for you.


Once Upon A Springtime reminds me of Easter, spring, flowers and little girls. This layout is a recent favorite of mine.
