    Winterland by FP is one of my alltime favorite collections. It's so "delicate" looking and can be used for anything and it works GREAT with your picture. I love your scallops and how you layered them. Thanks for sharing!

    Love how you layered all those scalloped edges. It was so wave like, and appropriate to the LO. And that little cloud over the word "weather" is such a great touch. Super job !!

    Love the layers! Doesn't sound too difficult to make, but the result is absolutely stunning!!! Love the word paper as separation before you reach a few more borders layered together to finish the page. Great work, thanks for sharing!
