Edwardian lady

My grandmother around her 21st birthday.She was half Italian. I wanted to capture the times with this layout so I used antique lace from the era(I even left the tag on it) plus the clock and the corset.I mainly stuck with black and white with just small hints of colour in various embellishments.I've used scrapmatts chipboard again including the corset which i covered with black lace then added pearls to decorate it.The font is called "Art Nouveau" and is hand done.

Kraft it up at the beach

I've been looking at these 2 photos featuring Mum at the beach, plus the Graphic45 paper on the boardwalk for a while now.This challenge at Kraft it up gave me the inspiration.I trimmed the 2 photos used a similar picture from On the boardwalk plus 2 other gRaphic 45 papers and a strip of tape measure from a 4th pattern paper.The chipboard words and starfish plus the frame are from scrapmatts.The 2 little beach cards and the word "hot!" is october afternoon.The weave extra black and white words provide the third alphas.

White with one and my uncle's first car.

This layout is for White with one where the criteria is olive green and twine. Luckily I had some scraps of olive paper featuring old stamps and matching page torn from an encyclopedia also featuring stamps.I used Junkitz buttons and a brad from kaisercraft to complete the layout. My father used to describe Uncle Roy's car as a "Rolls canhardly". This photo was around 1942

Aussie scrapjacked- Vicki

On Aussie Scrapjacked this month I noticed Vicki Urqhardt's layout and have Scrapjacked that.Here's my take on it.I used an old holiday photo of my parents,a transparency which I cut in half,a page from an old annual,Jenni Bowlin scalloped notecard,October afternoon lettering plus a metallic lighthouse I've had for years.

Stuck with a brave kid.

My entry for Stuck sketches is more about the journalling.I purposely did the strips underneath the photos crooked and tried to balance that with the sloped floral paper,not sure if that effect worked.

Feedback is nice.

I've had generous positive feedback from the 2 sites i've loaded this layout on to.It is nice to know that people appreciate what you work hard on.

Sometimes it just works!

This week's inspired colours for the colour room are rose pink,cream,dusty brown and pale green.I found these great close ups of rainbow lorikeets in my tree.I used scrapmatts chipboard ornate frame 01 (CB5001) and flourish 03(cb5057) as well as several flowers including some from Hero arts and a dotted flourish transparency that someone sent me.The whole thing came together nicely. I'll definitely remember this sketch.
