I have loved Ashley's work since waaaay back ... I have some of her layouts in my BOS since '03! ;) She really has a way of doing cool & unique things. Thank you, Ashley -- for your inspiration!
I lifted Ashley's Then & Now layout. I loved the whole concept of looking at something 'then and now' -- and I also loved how she did the ric-rac action on that scrap of patterned paper. I wish I had been bold enough to try the masking tap thing ... but I knew I couldn't make it look as good as Ashley's ;) I also copied her polka-dot pp background.
You can't make it out in the scan --but the silver flower charm says 'buds.' Thanks for looking! -Shelley
