Timeout Chair
This photo was taken in North Carolina Sept 2012. A group of fellow scrappers were visiting
Maggi Harding. Her wonderful husband kindly offered to driving us around the rural parts of North Carolina to find interesting sights to photograph. This chair was inside an equally dilapidated house. As we peered through a window frame, we saw it and dubbed it the "timeout" chair.
The layout was made using the most fabulous collection from FabScraps - Shabbylicious. This is a shabby chic gals dream collection. Light pinks and blues and a touch of whitewash. Amazing chipboard pieces and die-cuts that are absolutely innovative. They mix and match with the chipboard pieces.
In the photo above, I used the FabScraps chipboard piece called "Formal Chairs" and covered it with a die-cut to match. What a cool and clever idea.
You can find the whole collection
here.
You can purchase the collection at
Flying Unicorns.
