Scrap Around The World- Challenge 8 -Graceful & Feminine Mood Board by Zaneta

Wow! December is starting to rock on.... and it is such a busy time of the year

The December Challenge at
went live a couple of days ago with a truly gorgeous 
Mood Board and optional sketch
(I shall show you later in this post, but if you can't be patient click on the link above!)
I thought I would like to do a canvas for this challenge and here is what I created


 I was inspired by the collection of books, pictured in Zaneta's Mood Board and of course the gorgeous picture frames.
I have used my embossing folder and texture paste technique to get the effect around the outer edge of the canvas.


I have used the TRULY GORGEOUS leaf spray from
SCRAPMATTS


These are some of my absolute favorite Scrapmatts!!!!
My Prima flowers, Alpha's and little flower buttons are from
