Cosmo Cricket My Boyfriend Collection Inspiration

In my kit from Scrappin' Patch this time there was papers and stickers from the Cosmo Cricket Boyfriend Collection and some journalling spots. I had so much fun doing my Poppet Page with the Karen Foster scrapbook line that I decided to do another. It is a great way to use photos with people in with busy backgrounds - Just cut the background out and you have a poppet.

Here is my layout

Lets get Shabby challenge

Well I am joining the Shabby chic challenge over at Lets Get Shabby with hours to spare - I really love shabby chic and this challenge was to include something vintage. I have used an old ribbon from a collection a lady had that she had collected many many years ago and the music paper comes from a music score which was dated in the 1940's. I have also used bolder colours.
