I think I'll mount them on squares of patterned paper as Christine suggests and put them in a frame, three groups of three with one square for some journaling.
I'd still like to keep on layering things up though. You don't really need the doilies as a base; a simple scallop punched circle would do, or a very simple circle and a pair of cheap scalloped scissors which is all I've got just at the minute:
It's a great way of using up older supplies and little scraps and its a good way of experimenting with combining colours. I'm going to use this one on a yellow and grey page I've got planned.
Today I'm Loving...how many of you I managed to hoodwink on Sunday with my creative statements! In the interests of open and tranparent blogging I now have to admit that the two true ones were.....

:o) Somehow I knew that the fireman story was true. So funny...and it's great that he remembers it with a sense of humor too.
LOVE the doilies and layering effects you are creating, Sian!
These are really cool! Well I'm glad Fireman is still alive and you're not in jail too! lol
Sian,
You are so clever! Well, I got one right anyway (the fireman, not the policeman). And I think I love nondoily doily best of all!

As you can imagine,Sian, I love these layered pieces....and definately intend to do some on future scrapbook pages.
Wow....the 'fireman' must have been REALLY annoying!!
beautiful doilies - i spent several minutes looking at each one. they will look great grouped together in a frame. :-)
Loving your doily creations :-) I'm a little disappointed that you're not a keen abseiler though... xx

What do you mean, we don't have to buy a pack of doilies? Of course we have to buy a pack, buying new stuff is what us scrapbookers do best!
Although I may have a go at making one myself - just until I find a shop that sells them ;-)
Your layered doilies look lovely and I'm looking forward to seeing what they look like framed - you will show us won't you?
I love,love those doilies,and I too am a tad dissappointed you are not an abseiler !x
Sian its the way you tell them!! I was completely unsure which one was the truth - they all seemed plausible/implausible so I gave up! I love your layered creations & agree that you don't need to buy doilies (but you can if you must) :)
Love your fireman's comment! Let's hope's he learnt his lesson - you probably changed his life! Great doily work too: your layering is beautiful.
Sian you are too good at fibbing lol love all your doily creations x
I'm loving how you photograph your crafty creations Sian, they all looks so lovely and will be fabulous framed together!
So, is the fireman still a pain in the neck? Mel's comment is funny - yes, it is disappointing to know that you really are not into abseiling, such a great virtual visual picture ;-)
I really have loved seeing what you have done with the doilies. You are one talented little Miss!!
xx
awesome ideas, i really want to give embellie layering a try, thanks for the tutorial, ill link a post back when i get around to having a go :O)
I love that those two were the truths - what brilliant memories to have :P And am so pleased it wasn't the salad cream! Yuk!
Your doilies are lovely! Loved the two truths, but it was lovely to imagine you abseiling!
I love your crafty creations here! so pretty! and precisely done! i lov neatness in things like this!
thanks for coming to see me....come again!
ciao bella

Oh, I was so hoping that you'd sail around the world one day and blog all about it!
NO! Scratch that! Can you imagine how little stash you'd be able to fit on a boat?! I'm gonna have nightmares just thinking about surviving with no pretty papers! x
Your doilies are just beautiful! I have so much catching up to do, so thank you for providing some much-needed motivation!
