Fabric Background and "Belt" From "Special Presentation" episode DCRP01-E6

Project by Mellette Berezoski.

Mellette creates a background for a layout with fabric and a fabric "belt" for your layout.

Fabric can add texture and richness to a layout, even without a sewing machine. Add a homemade touch to your page by using fabric as a stunning background for a photo. This page also uses coordinating fabric as a lovely ribbon accent.
