The layout I would like to share today I am entering in the Challenge over at Scrap Africa which is a sketch challenge
Hello there friends! It's a new month and time for another challenge. This month we want to see your best "window display" projects for LESSology Challenge #36: Window display! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to create a project that has a window. :)
Remember, you can create any project you like as long as it includes at least ONE upcycled item. Please mention what this item is as it may not be apparent in your post.
So with both these in mind this is what I created
Off on an Adventure ~ Rome 2008
I have used the circle theme with Masking and paper circles.
When using the background paper as my border I decided I wanted to use the "Off on an Adventure " wording as well, as it was an adventure of a Lifetime for us. So I created a window for the words to show through. The recycled products I have used are ~ Canvas strips coloured with coffee, Old thread that was my Mum's, old paper I found behind a very old photo in a frame ( it is the textured paper I stuck in beside the layers on the left and down the bottom). The circles are left over paper from another project.
Other Products used ~
flair Dali Range (love this range)
Gold Sequins
Brass Button
Braid and brass charm
I have also used quite a bit of stamping which I am enjoying at the moment.

Beautiful take on the challenge with all your wonderful distressing Mary. I love how you've used the circle stencil on the background & the little cluster with the flair is delightful. Thanks for playing xx
I'm so glad you popped in those closies... you get such a better sense of the depth & layers & work...& that window is totally clever for the title! The flair looks neat tucked in there, too.....glad you had a good day, too:):):) Oh, almost forgot....THANKS for playing along again with us at LESSology:):)
