Let's Get Shabby

Shabby chic is such a wonderful style, one I always admire. When I discovered a new challenge blog, Let's Get Shabby, I knew I had to play along. Challenge # 1 is to use this ad to create a page.
I used the muted teals from the fan in the back of the ad as my base colour as it matched my photo so well. I quite literally took the idea of the fans and made one as an accent in my cluster of flowers and butterflies.


Here is a detail shot of the fan. Click on photos to enlarge.

Supplies: Paper (Prima, Scrap Within Reach), Flowers, Bling, Butterfly (Prima), Transparencies (Hambly, Creative Imaginiations), Chipboard (Riff Raff), Stamp (Unity), Pins (Making Memories), Tulle (Bazzill), Ribbon (Offray)

Hope you play along, too.

This looks right up my alley for challenges! I love what you have created, but even better is the girlies in the photos! I sooo wish I could meet them and give them a lil squeeze. Feel like I already know them :)
