I want to start today's inspiration patch, with Rene's layout and also some close-ups of the page.

This page really has so much to it, that I really want you to see the different parts.

This is really such a super page Rene! The detailing is just superb! ;-)

We also have some wonderful inspiration from Anna Wiosanka. Anna was a previous Top 3.

The background work and that sweet photo are just amazing! Thanks Anna for this super page!

Okay, so let's move on to the Design Team.

I made my own mask by cutting triangles into chipboard and then adding texture paste to it for the triangles scattered across my layout. My confetti was punched with a square punch instead of the traditional round and adhered using a was crayon to lift the confetti - try it - it really works!

I cut my triangles with the Silhouette and I decided to use my confetti as a border below the photo. I love the contrast between the black and white photo and the colourful border.
