Paris

Here is a layout I did for Holly who has dreams of travel. Paris had been her ultimate destination for sometime. She loves the architecture and can't wait to capture it all on, I was going to say film but I suppose it should be card these days. The paper is another of the embossed white papers from Stampin Up and this time I have sponged with inks rather than using chalk.
This beautiful paper is from Graphic 45, I just love the design and colours.
I stamped the tag with a variety of word and alphabet stamps. The word Travel and the compass are both Cloud 9 rub ons.
I painted the chipboard in a variety of greens and blues and then added a touch of light grey to highlight the edges.

With the fickle nature of youth I shouldn't have been surprised when Holly informed me on being shown the completed layout that she now wants to go to Rome not Paris!!

Happy to be me

Holly took some photos of me on a recent walk, she was amazed when I scrapped them so quickly as there are very few pages of me in any of our scrapbooks as I am generally the photographer. I got to use another of my Stampin Up Christmas presents, the white crocheted doily. I had previously had a go at doing them myself (the larger pink one) but had never got around to incorporating them into any layout.
Here is a close up, I sewed a button(Doodlebug) on to the white doily and used a brad further up the stem. The felt flowers are from here, the paper flowers are all from Prima

The blue patterned paper is from Graphic 45 all the rest is Basic Grey.
