Old Skool Stash

I joined in with Kate's Old Skool Stash Blog Hop again this month. I used some papers that were in a quick kit that I bought ages ago. I haven't used them as, frankly, I think they are very boring compared to the pretty papers you can buy today. They are also very very thin and didn't feel very nice.
HOWEVER, a lovely photo, a few very old embellishments and an open mind can work wonders!! Here is my page:

I hope you like it! Pop over to Furry Pig's Blog to see the next page in the hop.

If anyone gets lost, here is the full list of blogs in the hop, in the correct order!!

You did manage to make a lovely layout from your "boring" papers. And the trims and leaves bring it up to date and make it quite trendy!
That is a lovely peaceful photo. I'd like to go there...; 24 February, 2010
