:FIVE FAVES: By Motif...Doilies...

doi·ly : n. pl. doi·lies
1. A small ornamental mat, usually of lace or linen.
2. A small table napkin.

Doilies may be generally thought of as a lacey item used in home decor, but they function just as well as a lovely touch for our scrapbooking creations.


Doilies don't always have to be round either! This doily-like pattern would be a beautiful way to dress up a plain cardstock background.


These mini-doilies can serve as cute little flowers. A decorative brad can dress them up even further and also serve the function of connecting them to the page.


Maya Road - Kraft Collection - Die Cut Doilies
Take these kraft cardstock doiles and customize them with color however you please...or leave them plain for understated elegance.


Unity Stamp - Bella Blvd Collection - Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set - Bella Doilies
This is another great product that gives doilies extra mileage. Stamp embellishments, backgrounds and more in any color you choose.


Websters Pages - Designer Threads - Fabric Embroidery Pieces - Doilies
These embroidered doilies look so elegant and delicate. I love the muted colors, too!

LET'S TALK:
What other scrapbooking products have you seen lately featuring the doily motif that have fallen in love with?

I know My Mind's Eye has a stamp set as part of its Stella and Rose release that's a lovely doily. And there are lots of different mfrs. w/ patterned papers with doily images: Studio Calico, Crate Paper's Emma's Shoppe, and October Afternoon (Schoolhouse, I think?). Sorry I'm not providing links, but just had to comment...I hadn't seen the Maya Road cardstock doilies or the Webster's Pages product - just gorgeous!!

Oh, yes...these are also great examples, Cynthia. Thank you for sharing them! It was hard for me to pick just five and I'm glad that there were a couple in my list that you had not discovered already.
I've seen a few flowers for scrapping that looked like crocheted doilies but assembled as flowers. There might be some masks too (for misting). It's a really fun trend.

I think the 'flower' doilies are quite popular. Misting would be a great way to customize the kraft doilies above as well!
There are five techniques for the going up on the same features. These are the first and second conditions, which can be much important on the same causes. These facts can be purpose in the different stages.
