It's an out-of-season page. But I'm unrepentant. That felt banner just had to be used. And where did it need to go? Well, that was obvious..
and the detail:

Storytelling Sunday this coming Sunday! Mmm.. a love story, maybe? Or something pink, or flowery, or chocolate related? Newcomers welcome. Old-timers greeted with a hearty cheer. Come one, come all..
Perfect papers and even more perfect embellies for this story :)
ReplyDeleteI love the background paper you have used, and the ruffle ties in with the photo perfectly - I love the little pops of blue on the page too! x
ReplyDeleteI am almost ready to go .. see you Sunday!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous placement as always. Love the trees and flowers too.
ReplyDeleteOh - I love that skirt! The ruffle on the banner id perfect for it too :)
ReplyDeleteThat banner was just made for that LO!!!! How perfectly does it match your skirt?!! Love it all! :)
ReplyDeleteA perfect skirt for Christmas and it's getting its ornaments now in this lovely bright LO. I love the contrast of the blue ...
ReplyDeleteLovely page!! You mentioned a while ago you had noticed your scrapping style change? How do you think it has changed? I'm currently interested in scrapping styles as I think it is hard to recognise your own style! (as in MY own style!)
ReplyDeleteJust the right background for your tree skirt and how perfect is that banner?! I'm yet to decide on a February story out of a possible three.
ReplyDeleteFiona, options are always good :)
ReplyDeleteMy scrapping style? Was that when I posted the little house album? I think maybe what I really meant was that my ability level had changed! There is still so much to learn (hurray!) but I know now what I like and don't like and I just generally feel confident that I'm going to produce what is in my head. I still like the same elements, motifs and so on, but I'm happy now to peel them back off if they aren't working and try something else. Not sure if that answers your question, but that's where I am at creatively at the minute I think.
Great page to use the banner on!

I love that skirt - but I want to see it with baubles on ;o)
ReplyDeleteyou could wear your ornaments as earrings with the tree skirt, what a fab idea for a christmas photo about your tree skirt. love. love love.
ReplyDeleteLovely! Your photo is as much a design element as anything else on the page and it all flows together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLove the banner. I'm always fascinated about scrappers style - I didn't think I had one but if you read my post today you'll find I think I have developed one! I think if I was looking at random unnamed pages I would be able to pick our yours and quite of few others who's blogs I visit regulary.
ReplyDeletePerfect page for the felt banner. I love all the wonderful woodgrains that are out now. They always make such a terrific background! We really do have very similar tastes in scrappy goodness! :)
ReplyDeleteTotal perfection on this one, Sian! I love the banner and have always loved the skirt and that shot :)
ReplyDeleteThe banner is just perfect with the skirt....love it.
ReplyDeleteThat banner is so sweet I can see why you were prompted to use it with this photo - it's the perfect colour.
ReplyDeleteLovely layout Sian. Great subject as well :) I too vote yay for such a lovely felt banner.
ReplyDeleteGreat page. Love the skirt. And I'm off to have a go at a month in numbers. thanks for the inspiration
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I thought I'd left a comment earlier ...
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fab that your skirt now has a layout all of its own?! From what I can see, it looks a perfectly excellent kind of skirt. Although, if my brother saw it, he'd say,"It looks like the sort of thing X would wear." X being our cousin with the dodgy dress sense!!
I got my (Photo) story all cued up and ready to go! I love your tree skirt. Sometime I should share the photo and story about the red felt skirt with white felt reindeer (and gold sequins) I wore as a kid (and took pictures of Clara in, as well).

So many things I love about this! The felt banner and ruffle, the skirt, the layout, the artist... Another successful page, Sian!
ReplyDeleteYour layout is just to die for. :D I'm hoping to participate in storytelling Sunday. I keep thinking I'm going to do it and always forget. I think I'm going to set a reminder on my phone. :D
ReplyDeleteThe colours in this layout is just adorable, a perfect lift to a winter's day. I am a champion of bright colours after all. A love story for Sunday sounds just like what I need!
ReplyDeleteThe brick background of the photo with the woodgrain patterned paper is just terrific. And I always love your embellishments.
ReplyDeleteoh Sian this page is fantastic - great colour combo and I just love the photo x
ReplyDeleteOh so so pretty and love the skirt too. You were right that banner did need to be used!
ReplyDeleteLove how you hung the layout too, Imay have to try that one.
Have a great weekend.
xx
What a fun page! I love the humour in it and the mix of papers you used! Bravo!
ReplyDeletehi Sian :) I've been keeping up with your posts and I have to say I love that skirt! It's gorgeous and the monthly make - very cute and stylish :) I hope to participate in STS - just need a moment to think!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is perfect with the banner!!
ReplyDeleteAll ready for Storytelling Sunday - can't wait to read everyone's stories & see some great photos.
Perfect photo for a great page
ReplyDeleteThe felt banner is perfect - goes so well with the ruffles in the skirt.
