YOU ARE FOREVER MY ALWAYS by Linda Pearson

 Hi everyone ... welcome to my blog post showcasing how  I have used my favourite paper collection, Forever My Always Collection designed by Fiona Paltridge to create this journal page or scrapbook layout.  A very simple composition with lots of gold leafing and pen work to highlight the focal image or photo of choice.
