Wow its been a week since i posted last. How slack. Work has been busy but i got these two layouts done during the early part of the week. The Celebrate one is for Terri's monthly challenge over at ART and we had to whitewash the patterned paper(mine is the shaped paper) and incorporate sewing (machine hand or fake) i hand embroidered the little red buds around the shaped paper. I also coloured the lace at the bottom of the frame (which swings loose) to try and match the curtains in the pic. I painted the frame with white acrylic and then stamped and then when it was dry i sponged on some of T!m's distress ink.



The Black and white Lo is for the MMT challenge. This weeks challenge was Classical. B & white or cream, flourishes, chandeleirs and or damask, rub-ons pearls. I love this pic of hubby and my eldest daughter but her reaction to the LO is "oh that is lovely except for that picture". KIDS! It was the last pic taken on christmas day before we headed to bed. Oh well thats her bad luck and i'm happy with them.
