MEMORIES FOR THE BOOK OF LIFE ~ MEGS GARDEN

Hello !
Today I am up at Megs Garden Blog, so I would like to share my DT layout with you.

Memories for the Book of Life


The image of the book on the pp made me think about the book of life and the memories we keep , so this is the theme I wanted to incorporate into my layout, using a old photo of  a afternoon with friends and me being a new Mum ( so this photo would be about 37 years old ! ) Yikes that makes me feel old !
If you pop over to Megs Blog I have detailed how I created my layout and products used.



I should tell you though how I treated the chipboard piece , as I haven't done so at Megs. I first gessoed it and then I painted with two shades of pan pastels. For the leaves I transferred little torn pieces of serviette with modge podge  . I then coated the whole piece with modge podge which also sealed the pan pastels. 
All other products besides the stamping and washi are from Megs Store.
I hope you pop over to the blog and check out what the DT has been creating, they are a seriously talented lot, and we are so lucky to have such beautiful products to create with, so you should also visit the shop and have a look around. :)

Enjoy the rest of your week, we have been having quite warm days and nights still, which is a bit unusual where I live at this time of year, so I am enjoying it while I can. 

Love , Peace and Kindness
