Doilies are not just for crocheting and Grandma’s nick knacks anymore! They are so versatile on pages and are the TREND Watch this time around. I went through rather quickly in the gallery to find a few different ways to inspire you to use doilies:
Jenn McCabe, one of the awesome guest Pollys this month put this together (not even in the gallery yet, you see it first) and I adore the way the doilies are peeking out not just behind the subject, but over the photo of the Ice Tea maker. The paints behind the doilies make them stand out a bit more too, a great way to utilize this TREND WATCH:
The intricate cuts in a doily really add so much, then layer more sprinkles and fun on top of it and your eye is drawn to the circular subject matter without even having to make a full circle. Very pleasing and AmandaC(my partner and crime as a Polly) shows it off perfectly here in This Week!
It is no secret that I adore the photos that bjc takes of her life and laughter around the BIG apple, and her ability to take an element and use it in a completely different way. The paper doily becomes a journaling piece so perfectly here on her page silly and sweet:
The TREND WATCH comes with a great sale of items each designer has added to help you make pages with this TREND and participate in the TREND WATCH challenge in the FORUM. The challenge is only two weeks, so it goes fast, and there is a random pick from one of the awesome pages in the gallery for a $5 Gift Certificate. I am proud to announce that my friend from way back and whose page this last TREND WATCH (Nautical) was pure delightful to gaze upon: THEMrsPeel(dear Cynthia) you are this challenges winner! I will PM you shortly!
