Sassafras Lass paper collections work so well together! Just including several patterns on the one page helps make your page a work of art. This layout shows how the successful combination of patterns as well as using your papers as embellishments can give your work a unique spark.

This layout  was created using five papers from the Sassafras Lass Sew Fine collection (Sew Fine Penelope Paper, Sew Fine Lois Paper, Sew Fine Tilly Paper, Sew Fine Lillian Paper and Sew Fine Emiline Paper), blue Bazzil cardstock, corner rounder, blue ink, three white brads and blue ribbon.

Set aside the blue Bazzil cardstock for your background.

Cut a semi-circle of Sew Fine Lillian Paper with a diameter measuring approximately 15cm. Ink the edges with blue ink and adhere towards the top right corner of your page, as shown in the layout above.

Cut a piece of Sew Fine Penelope Paper measuring approximately 7cm x 28cm. Round the two corners at the left side of the strip and ink around the edges with blue ink.

Cut a piece of Sew Fine Lois Paper measuring approximately 7cm x 21cm. Round the two corners at the left side of the strip and ink around the edges with blue ink.

Cut a piece of Sew Fine Tilly Paper measuring approximately 7cm x 25cm. Round the two corners at the left side of the strip and ink around the edges with blue ink.

Align your strip of Tilly paper towards the top of your page so that it slightly overlaps your semi-circle. The right edge of your strip should be right up against the right edge of your page. Adhere in place. Adhere your strip of Lois paper directly underneath it, again so the right edge is up against the right edge of your page. Finally, adhere your strip of Penelope paper directly below that and up against the right edge of your page.

Cut a circle of Sew Fine Lois Paper with a diameter of approximately 6cm and ink around the edges with blue ink. Position on your layout so it overlaps both the left side of your semi-circle and your strip of Tilly paper.

Position your photo on the right side of your page so that it overlaps all three strips of patterned papers and your semi-circle. Make sure you leave enough room at the bottom of your page for your title though.

Cut out your vine from Sew Fine Emiline Paper and adhere to the bottom left of your page. This is a time-consuming endeavour, but the end effect is well worth the effort! I have cut out one of the main shapes and then added a small extra piece of vine to give it extra height. How much you add to your page is up to you!

Add three white brads to the top right of your page, as shown above. These serve to balance out the busy effects of the vine in the bottom left of your page. 

Next, cut the letters for your title from Sew Fine Lillian Paper and ink the edges with blue ink. Tie a piece of blue ribbon to the first letter of your title. Finally, adhere your title across the bottom of your page.
