THE MAN THAT IS LEONARD COHEN ~ TGIF CHALLENGE

Hello ,

 One of the loveliest Cyber Scrapping friends I have had the pleasure of being acquainted with Kerri Smith has just started a new challenge blog called TGIF  on facebook. So naturally I wanted to join in. The theme this week was to scrap someone or something you love, to also have some stamping and journalling. I scrap about those I love on a regular basis , so I thought I would go with something I love which is music.
I have been a fan of Leonard Cohen since my teenage years and when I had the opportunity to go to his concert last year  I jumped at the chance. He didn't disappoint, the concert was fabulous, one of the most enjoyable concerts I have been to. The man is 80 and can still get down on his knees and bounce back up again ( me when I get down I am worried I am never going to get back up again)



I have added random stamping and used a Georgia Heald stamp around the outside.
I have journalled  which is a bit hard to see because the paper is so busy , but it is above the Georgia Heald washi tape and also on the side.



I have added my ticket under the photo . Texture paste and mask and then I painted the pattern with gold. Used various washi tapes



The PP is quite busy, so hope I have done OK with it.



Thank you for calling by, I hope you can join in on Kerri's challenges.
Love, Peace and Happiness

Be still my beating heart! It's that man with the golden voice. Love the page Mary, I too, loved the concert and play the songs almost every day. I hope he comes back to Australia. Your page is gorgeous and truly does the man proud. I'm not going to get time to join in. Running around like a headless chook here! :D
