Our Dream Home....

SOS... Book Inspired Stash Challenge.

Hi everyone, doing my favorite thing today scrapping :)...  I was inspired by the banner on the book cover for my layout.  Many store in my neighborhood have banners hanging outside when first open, this is where my idea for my page came from.  We bought our dream home in 2013, so I decided to use the banner on my layout, to representing a new chapter in our life.   First I used a cut file both the positive and the negative for the banner, on the positive part of the cut file I used some pattern paper from We R Memory Keepers (Honey I'm Home) collection. I used Simple Stories (Life In Color) collection to back the other banner. To create the lower half, I use Heidi Swapp metallic texture paste (gold) with a Tim Holtz stencil Stripes, add a few embellishments and a flair by https://www.etsy.com/shop/aflairforbuttons.  I decided to use a stamp with the word WELCOME around the edge of the page. Thanks for stopping by :)

                                                                                 Here is a close-up...
