Crazy Patterns
Ever notice crazy patterns in life? Like how, when your mom comes to visit, suddenly you’re back to being 12 again in her eyes? Or how the same Christmas ornaments seem to get rearragned by the kids time and time again? Or how the same places on the counter seem to get piled with random things over and over? Right – there are crazy patterns everywhere in life…
This idea was carried over to this layout. I’m typically a pretty solid background type of scrapper, so this was a little bit of a challenge for me. I’ve been admiring this patterned paper for the longest time, trying to figure out a use for it. Then, I thought, why not put a pretty plain picture (well, a picture with a lot of plain, open space) on the paper to calm it all down… not sure if it worked, but the butterflies sure are fun!
Hope you and yours had a wonderfully happy Christmas and will enjoy blessings overflowing in the new year!
