Oh Marie!

Everybody knows Marie Antoinette and loves her over decorated fluff and frilly style. You can't out girly Marie! There's been some debate whether or not she actually said, "Let them eat cake!" but I like cake so let the cake flow.




I used a few die cuts from Anna Griffin and I hand dyed the ribbon tie. That gorgeous little shoe is a paper clip.





Pretty cake and fans are a great look for Marie.




This gorgeous shoe is from a 14 year old pattern made by Terri Heinz when she held a Marie shoe swap on Ning with the Marie Antoinette mail art group. I was there and a member. I also did participate in the swap at that time. That's how I remember it!!! There have been many imitations of her pattern since but I cannot find one to pre-date it so I'm calling Terri Heinz the designer of this pattern.




Those cute little cake die cuts!. 




I had several pictures of Marie courtesy of thegraphicsfairy.com . I wanted to fill the pages with them.




I decided to make little frames out of bling for Marie on most of the pictures because I didn't have room for framing them without cutting off the pictures.  Problem solved!






I used a lot of pretty pictures to decorate this journal. I had some fan die cuts already made so I used those. Perfect for Marie.




Pictures of pretty fancy ladies dancing go well with the decorative shoes and fans.





Pretty lace trims make pretty frames for pictures.




Oh Marie, you've done it again! Left us in awe of your over decorated beauty! You scamp you.
