1 Thessalonians 5:12-13

Hello, friends!  I hope everyone is well and happy today!  It's been beautiful outside!  Fall is my favorite time of year because of all the colors, and the crisp coolness of the air after a long, hot summer.

I wanted to share a scrapbook page-turned-shadow-box-framed-thank-you that someone ordered.  This layout was adapted from a Heartfelt Creations class project, and made for one of my husband's co-workers.  She is framing it, and presenting it to her pastor as an appreciation gift.  I love the way it turned out!

The background paper is from the Happily Ever After stack and the plain cardstock is from Stampin' Up.  The bible passage I copied into a word document, then printed on plain white cardstock.  I used Tim Holtz Vintage Photo inkpad to "age" the edges.  The Heartfelt Creations products used were:  Falling Leaves Die HCD 707, Decorative Dutch Iris Die HCD 711, HCPC 3323 Large Elegant Word Background PreCut Set, HCPC 3334 Open Falling Leaves PreCut Set, HCPC 3375 Flora Grande 1 PreCut Set, HCD 703 Daisy Patch Dies and HCPC 3374 Flora Grande 2 PreCut Set.  The pearls are from Stampin' Up's Pretties kit, and the butterflies are Martha Stewart.  The border is from Spellbinders Parisian Accents Die Set.  I used Versamark ink to heat set the black embossing powder on the flowers. 

These flowers turned out beautifully, and the three-dimension is crazy!

I don't normally use Martha Stewart products, but when I saw these butterflies, they were a must-use! 
They matched the gold glitter that was on the background paper perfectly,
and provided just a little bit of sparkle that enriches this page.

Thank you for visiting my blog - I hope you had the time to leave a comment on what you think of this page.  I appreciate your thoughts!  I hope you'll come back again, and again, and again!  lol  hehehe
