Father's Day

Here is my layout created at the Papermaze crop last weekend. As the papers were ideal for a masculine theme, I decided to create another page for my Dad's memory album. The photo was taken last month on Father's day.

 

Janet had designed the layout for this month and Louise had created an alternative. I love fonts and really liked the alphabet stamps used in Louise's version. I am also enjoying spray mists and layering so my layout was based more on Lou's design.

the kit contained:

Glitz Design 'Truly Yours' Motif paper, Brown and Aqua cardstock,  2 Kraft tags, Technique Tuesday Journalling card, Aqua Twine, Assorted wooden embellishments and Aqua Washi Tape.

with use of:

Peeled Paint and Walnut Stain Distress Ink
Melted Chocolate Dylusions Ink Spray

I added:
Thickers alphabet stickers from American Crafts

Some scraps of papers left over from last month's kit behind the tears and for stamping on.

Lili of the Valley Father's day greetings stamp.

Memory Box die (railings)

 Here is Janet's original layout:

 and Louise's page

Thanks for looking.

Miss Nightingale

At our Debden weekend I made this layout with a photo of my daughter Emily.

She was dressed for school Victorian Day.

I was very inspired by a beautiful layout by Gabrielle Polloco.

I used Basic Grey Porcelain paper collection.

I did a fair bit of distressing, inking and machine stitching.

I made the little flower pot by cutting some paper into shape and inking to shade.

The branches were cut using the cricut.

The blossoms for the hydranger we cut using Linda's Martha Stewart punch. I inked each one and layerd the with 3D foam pads.

Flat backed pearls were added to the centre of the flowers.

I cut the cage and bird using the Sizzix, Th bird is cut from patterend papers.

The cage is brown cardstock, dry brushed with white paint and sprayed with shimmer mists.

I added large eyelets to the holes at the bottom of the cage.

I also used the butterfly punch (Martha Stewart).

American Craft Sticker letters.

Gems, stickles and some ribbon.

I had great fun creating this page, thanks for looking.
