Eileen's Lace Journal

My muse and I have been arguing about these pages for a couple of weeks now. We have been looking through the amazing pages of the others in this challenge; beautiful pages bursting with lace, flowers and images. Gorgeous pages you can look at ten times and still find something new each time.

Of course my muse is prideful and insisted on making something just as "over the top" as everyone else! And, normally, I would agree with her. But the more I went through this beautiful book the more I knew that I wanted my contribution to Eileen's book to be simpler and "clean". I wanted these pages to be where the eye can rest from all the wonderful lushness my friends have previously contributed.

So, much to my muse's chagrin, I did what my heart pushed me to do and did it MY way.

This is the front page layout:



A wedding garter belt made a great "frame" for one of my favorite vintage pictures.

Back page:  I made the little flowers when I was going through my crochet flower obsession!

Inside pages:



Simple but really sweet.

I hope Eileen agrees with ME and not my obnoxious muse!!
