Well I have had a busy crafting week. Tuesday was our scrappin girls, Friday was our card making girls and today Evelyn and I made a layout together!
I grabbed some stuff from my stash, I think there is about 12 papers, scrappers floss, a Whiff of Joy Stamp, Kaiser Flowers, Heart tags, some material, a chipboard album, a paper piercing and a Santa Die cut thingy.
I will also add a surprise as this is just a scratch on what I have to get rid of.
So just leave me a comment and I will do random org to pick a winner!
Here is the layout that Evelyn and I did today, this is the ONLY photo that my mum (and Evelyn's mum) have of all the girls in her family - four years later her mum (my Nana) and one of their sisters had died. Nana was only 38 - that's nearly two years younger than I am now - Hard to comprehend!
Here is a close up of the chipboard - I covered it with dimensional magic and then painted over it with clear crackle paint, then used distress ink's to bring out the cracks:
I am really happy with the layout as it is my first Heritage attempt - even though I had some help with papers and ideas from Diane and Evelyn lay ed out the bits and pieces. I distressed, typed and added to the bits - a real good duel effort!
I also made (copied and I am sorry I am not sure from who) a sympathy card - something that I don't have in my stash of cards and to be honest I hope I don't have to use!
Well that's about it from me - hope you are all safe - especially in Christchurch tonight as we felt the aftershock down here tonight. Here is a picture to make you smile (well it did for me) my fat cat Basil helping himself to Jamie's computer!
Have a safe weekend everyone:
Thanks for stopping by!
