One of my Pink Paislee projects for this month was to lift a member from the Live Pink gallery. Here’s my layout:
and here’s the amazing layout I lifted by Diana Brodeur
I am a huge white-space fan and the softness of this layout really spoke to me. I loved that it was asymmetrical and I also loved the little layered elements. So when creating my layout, I replaced her circle with a heart (I am too scared to mist, so I didn’t even try that even though I absolutely love the misting she did on her layout.) I then layered my ephemera.
While the layout has several elements I use on most of my pages (I stitched a border and around the heart and I put an edgie on the right top corner) I think the look and feel of it is definitely similar to Diane’s stunning original.
Journaling Reads:
My sweet son when you were born I fell so deeply in love with you that I did no think there was any way I could love you any more. But I was wrong . As you grow more and more each day, my love for you grows too. I am so proud of you and so thankful that you’re my boy. I love you more and more every day.

I think your layout is simply stunning. I love how you lifted Diana’s page but you still made it your own. Another great layout.
I love your layout -the top cluster with the bird and the heart with all the layers and the tag -love it all!
Thanks for showing Diana’s page; I am going to track down more of her work.
The layout is beautiful and it is truly “authentically Karen” even though you used Diana’s as a jumping off point. What a summary of all that you taught in Finding Your Way. Thanks for sharing.
karen, this is beautiful. I agree you scraplifted it but made perfectly authentic “YOU” way to go on this. How cool to see your take on this, love the heart and the birds and that you still have stitching on it. Can’t wait to see more like this, thanks for sharing.
Hi Karen! Beautiful page, I love it! You have been so encouraging and supportive of us in FYW, and opened our eyes to so many new possibilities in our scrapbooking, I wish that you could find the same courage you have given us, and try your hand at misting… It is perfectly imperfect and you really can’t go wrong! 🙂
Also wanted to let you know that Dawn created an “Aha Moment” thread for you and had me link this post. 🙂
i did want to tell you, too, that I do mist on my art journal book and on my canvas minibooks a lot 🙂
This is just gorgeous Karen. Love how you took this page and made it your own. Love the colours and that gorgeous stitched, yellow heart. Thanks you so much for sharing your gorgeous work. You have inspired me to Find My Way over the past few weeks. Thanks you so much for your kind, thoughful and positive comments on the message boards. Take care, Deb (dalex)
thank you Deb! I appreciate it so much 🙂
