Peggy

'Peggy' is the title of this layout created for my family heritage album with one of my newly acquired old photos. Since finding the adorable photo of this little girl and discovering her name I was able to complete more of my family tree. The layout is my Design Team page for the March Scrapology challenge.

The journalling has been written for future generations and reads:

"Margaret E. Holder known as Peggy (born 1919) was the youngest daughter of my Great Uncle Walter Frederick Holder, known as Chum or Chummy (b1886) and his wife Ethel Rosina (nee Fuller, 1888 - 1955) married in 1910. All lived in the Bromley area. Peggy's older sister was called Winifred J. Holder known as Winnie (born 1913, married name Taylor).

This month we are scraplifting our own team member Sandra Dry with this lovely layout you may recognise from the Scrapbook magazine a few issues ago. As she was working to a budget we thought we would look at using our existing stash rather than using new papers.

My papers are Kasercraft Enchanted Garden which I have had for a while and not wanted to cut into, I was waiting for that special photograph! The butterflies are cut from a glittered sheet. I used some Prima pearl swirls, Maya Road ribbon roses, satin ribbon, antique lace and a Marianne die for the frame around the journalling.

Lots of tearing, distressing and inking went into my page too.

 Here is the sketch I drew for the challenge:

Please pop over to the Scrapology blog and find out more about the challenge and see what the others made for this challenge.

Thanks for looking

Colourful Cards with Sandra

These are the cards I made at Sandra's Colourful Cards Class at Cardinal Colours Crop Weekend.
The girls and some of the elements are from stamps by Kanban. I used Promarkers to colour the images. Although some like the cards themselves were spritzed with colourful Mica Mists.

I purchased a second kit and made four more cards - changing colours, and girls in places. So you will see two of each card below.

Oops she lost a green bow from her boot!

This easel card (below) has a scalloped acetate semi circle which is a little difficult to see in the photo.

 

 This one (above and below) has a pocket which holds the large tag.

 Another card with acetate, this time as the card front. It also features two glittered cupcake stickers.

Sandra's kit included lots of gems and ribbon, diecuts, and pieces of patterned paper for us to cut element from.

We had a lovely morning sitting together making these cards. Thanks Sandra for a great class and some adorable cards.
