Initially, I didn't want to take on this project because I'm so used to making pretty garden themed or vintage layouts for wedding guestbooks that it took my by surprise. However, I felt that I should find out more about the moroccan style and did some google research. And it turned out that well, I can actually do this. It used a lot of strong colours, bold patterns and throw in some gold and the theme can be pulled off pretty easily.
So that was the approach I took when I went shopping for the materials and I actually got all the crafting supplies, except for the gold doilies, from Art Friend. Just a coincidence as I was getting the background paper and an A3 sized cardboard, I turned around and saw scrapbooking papers. They were being sold at much lesser price than the actually scrapbooking stores and though they're not the latest collections, I managed to get 3 different patterns which I felt would work well with the Moroccan style.

If there's one thing I learn about making these, is to NEVER touch the finished product or at least stop fiddling with it anymore when it's completed. I don't want to go into details, hehe, but let's just say the butterflies were being placed strategically for those reasons. So much so, I didn't really plan on those positions which therefore to me at least, they were placed quite oddly.
However, I'm still glad it was well liked even despite that hiccup. But I still learn my lesson.
