I hope your day has been a good one. I have managed to get some scrapping done, which is always nice. There is a new Challenge site called Off the Rails Scrapbooking and the very first challenge is to use Acetate . Acetate is a little hard to photograph, but I promise you it is on my layout
A Christmas Memory
This was taken Christmas 2006 and would be Dad's last Christmas . I really think it is a lovely photo of Mum, who we lost 12 mths ago.
The PP is MME "Vintage Christmas"
The Rosettes,Satin Seam binding and little gold beads are from Craftqueen
The snowflake which I have added Kindyglitz to is from Scrapmatts
I have stamped Memories on Acetate and placed on the photo next to the reindeer
I also stamped a flourish on acetate and traced around the pattern with Kindyglitz and tucked in beside the photo. It is very hard to see on the photo , especially as the lace material has silver thread running through it as well. But if you look really hard you will see it.
I have used a Mix-ables stencil with texture paste and rubbed Pan Pastel over the design as well as some kindyglitz and gold twinkling H2O's paint
The Lacey material was from my Mum's material box.
To frame my layout I have used thin gold wire and old twine from an old reel that was Mum's & intertwined them.
Looks like a nice challenge site, so you might like to pop over and have a look.
On another note, I received the most gorgeous Christmas Card from Lizzy today and I LOVE it. Lizzy knows I love Shabby Chic
Don't forget we would love you to join in the challenge over at Orange Paperie and ColorMeScrappy. Both totally different colour palettes, but equally gorgeous
Love and Peace Mary x
