have I got carried away?


This is my craft den layout its a pic of my mum and her dad at Broadstairs in 1952 how cool do they look I love mums hat that brims enormous my grandad is just walking along not a care in the world enjoying his cigarette. Now the page is not in its original form, it should have a pleated flower in the bottom left hand corner but it would NOT stay on so I had to improvise out came the sizzix big shot, I love this machine its so versatile I could not do without it anyway I'm waffling again back to the layout,I layered a sizzix daisy copic coloured a wrong coloured flower then smaller daisy topped with a button, I then got carried away making flowers and cutting out decorative flourishes.the letters are chipboard painted espresso dabber then crackle glaze then I had mix pebble espresso copper terracotta and gold to get the right colour brown!!!!! wow is it a bit busy oh well it might be but I love it thanks Lynne I would never have done this colour way but I love the vintage look, all sepia tones thanks for looking and I hope you don't mind the changes Lynne.x

  4. I love the changes! I always love how everyone starts off with the same kit and how they end up so very very different...that's what it's all about, isn't it?

    Love Mo's hat... I wonder if she still has it?
    See you Thursday Lynne x
