New technique old photo.

Here's another of the old photos featuring Mum,this time she is on the right,aged about 7 in 1925.
I tried a new technique for this which is glueing tissue paper using mod podge to the backing card.I then sprayed it all over with blue glimmer mist.I used rub-ons and adhesive swirlsplus sewn on buttons as embellishments.The title is scrapmatts again sprayed with glimmer mist.I machine sewed around the edges.This layout is the colour room.

More cards!

Two more cards using scrapmatts and leftover scraps of paper. The left hand one says dream and could be for a variety of uses.The right hand one has a quote.."Thinking is the talking of the soul with itself" by Plato.I have a university graduate in mind for this one.

October afternoon in the past at the beach

This layout features October Afternoon papers and lettering plus the 2 smaller pictures are Graphic 45.The chipboard has been painted then the edges inked...it is by scrapmatts.

It is a photo from when my mother was 14...in 1932! She is now 92 and still "with it".I wanted to scrap a few of her favourite photos while she can still recall the details.This one had her talking for quite a while.One of my aims /reasons for my scrapbooking is to record family events,past and present.
Thanks for looking

Two cards using scrapmatts

These two cards were made using leftover pattern paper scraps and Scrapmatts chipboard.The first is a 90th birthday card for a friend of my mother's who was a dressmaker.She loved the dress form and background papers.

The second is for a friend who loves red.I used a scrapmatts card border under the red poppies.

When dinosaur lived at a2z

Here's my entry for A2Z scraplets monthly challenge. These 2 photos are soooo old my daughter would say "was that when dinosaurs were alive?" as a joke.
I loved doing this one and I finally used that baby dinosaur chipboard.

Colour room

This layout is for The color room.Even though there is a touch of brown here,the colours were blue,lilac,pink and yellow.I used an old doiley which has pink/blue in it plus flowers in the nominated shades.The flourish was glimmer misted with yellow then blue to create the colours that match the cameos.I added some yellow brads and blue buttons.

This was on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence where there were many lovely jewellers shops.
