I fell in-love with the style of Melissa Samuels. Her pages have that soft airy look to them with a vintage touch.

I love the journal books of Fancy Pants and have used them as a frame and photo mat before. What I was drawn to in this layout was how Melissa used two journal sheets and not just one to create a beautiful background for her photo. I tried to duplicate this look and used some of my Little Sprout Journal book sheets to create this layout (pictured below).

Another thing I love about Fancy Pants is that you can mix and match papers and products from their different paper lines. As you can see in this page, I also used papers and stickers from the Hot Chocolate collection as well as buttons and brads from the Tradition collection.

Please advise how you got the brown border with the holes..Is the paper already cut with that design that comes in kit and if so how did you get the holes?
