49 and Market Layout - Don't Let Go and Sweet

Hello

How beautiful are these background papers from Fabscraps and don't they co-ordinate beautifully with the 49 and Market ARToptions Rouge Ephemera Bits?! The arched window is leftover from another 49 and Market Kit which I used in a previous album.

When adding the frames to the layouts, I only adhere 2 or sometimes 3 of the sides down to be able to add photos with ease.

Some of the other embellishments used in this album include: rhinestones, buttons, ribbon and tiny bulldog clips - did you spot the pink one in the top layout of this post?

See you soon!
