The very first elements of this page were definitely not heading me in the direction of my “I’ve got a notion” theme. I was just playing and seeing where my creativity would take me.
The substrate is a yellow piece of copy paper I had used to protect my mat while painting and stamping. I added gelatos to deepen the color and give a more cohesive color scheme. The landscape image came next. It was salvaged from a calendar. It felt very “frontier” to me. I then added the western union scrapbook paper. Definitely heading to old west.
Then the dress form cutout literally fell into my lap from a package. It was meant to be. I had another page for my theme.
The ruler and spool label helped round out the thought for me.
I’m quite happy with the way it turned out…especially since I wasn’t planning on this page to begin with.
The dressmaker’s form was meant to be. It looks great on your page. Sometimes it’s fun to just let the page be what it is. This one is really lovely Halle. Happy middle of the week to you. hugs-Erika
Your page is beautiful, Halle, and the colours on the background sheet are a great addition. Great that you are hosting at AJJ this month, I love the theme. Hugs, Valerie
I love this page very much. The colours you put together are harmonious and work so well together as a result. Great idea behind the construction. Thanks for the inspiration.

You chose a lot of disparate images and made them come together flawlessly. I like the leaves. Great minds think alike. I am working on a dress form today. Yours is beautiful and very vintage western. Thanks for this inspiring entry using your theme at AJJ, dear friend.
This certainly is beautiful! Great texture and that gorgeous sunset! Hugs, Chrisx
