FabScraps, Helmar and Shimelle ~


Good morning everyone!! It is 3:00 am here and I can't sleep so I thought I would make a blog post for you. This is a layout I did for the class I'm taking with Shimelle {over at 2 Peas}~be sure and check it out { Hitchhiker}!!
Shimelle has the best ideas for when your stuck and when you need a starting place.  I used some of my stash, which makes me happy.  The paper is by FabScraps, a fairly new scrapbooking company from So. Africa.  Helmar partnered with them sometime back and I loved their paper line and unique embellishments.


The black doily flower is from Jenni Bowlin~love those too!!! A new fave of mine.  It seems they find their way onto many projects these days.  The little butterflies are by Prima **swoon**.
****************************************************
Just one more thing~when I was at my mom and dads last week mom gave me  this~


a handkerchief that was my dads.  She said he has had it forever and dated it around 1946-48. Very cool little treasurer!!!


Have a Blessed day everyone!!! See ya soon~
