Piradee Talvanna

I love scrapbooking. And I love Piradee's work. She's done some amazing layouts so I contacted her to see if she could squeeze some time out of busy schedule and create something using our store's fabric.

She created this beautiful layout using Leaf Bouquet Moss by Lila Tueller.


I think the frayed fabric flower gives it a such a lovely touch..
Here are a couple of close ups of the flower and her layout:


Thank you Piradee!

Do visit her blog The Scrapper In Me and see more of her beautiful and amazing work there.

I hope this inspires you to try combining some of your traditional layouts with fabric!
