My Layout for 1-2-3 Challenge"Old World Charm"

Hi there, thanks for stopping by. Today a have a vintage layout to

show you that I have done for the August challenge over at the

"1-2-3 Challenge"  blog.

I haven't played along before & so when I saw the brief,

I was hooked, as vintage is one of my favourite styles.

Here is the brief....

This gorgeous photo is of my Great Grandmothers sister, so I guess 

that makes her my "Great Great Aunt", I think !!!

Anyway her name was Doris Colless & this pic was taken

in about 1907. My mother tells me that she died when I

was a small baby.

You may have seen a couple of layouts I have scrapped 

of her before, but hey why not, how lucky am I to have these

 beautiful pictures of a family member & to actually

know the history that goes with it ?

As part of the criteria for this challenge was to use the word "OLD"

I spoke to my good friends at 2 Crafty chipboard &

 asked them to make this title up for me. Thanks Vanessa.

This beautiful flourish is also from 2 Crafty chipboard.

Don't you just love this little cameo embellishment, I think it 

matches her necklace ? When I found this I just knew it was

the perfect thing to finish off my layout with.

I really enjoyed doing this challenge & I found the 

three part criteria  a great challenge too.

Definitely think I will be playing along again.

Well thats it for another day.

Until next time.

Once Upon A Sketch August Challenge"The Magic of You"

Hi there, thanks for calling by.

Today I have my layout that I have done for the August challenge over at

the  "Once Upon a Sketch"  blog.

Here  is the current sketch, & as always I have tweeked it up a little.

The journalling theme this month is

"I'll never forget" which can be interpreted in either a

good or bad way.

This little sweetie is the Grandaughter of a good friend, & just after

this pic was taken she took her first steps, much to the delight of

her Mummy & Daddy. So this was a very special & memorable

occasion for the family.

This sweet little title, "The Magic of You" is from 

2 Crafty chipboard, as is this chippie chicken wire.

I have done lots of background treatments using various

mediums & mists. I have also used lots of beautiful 

Green Tara flowers, pearl trim  & this is one of their

many beautiful laces. It was white & I misted it pink 

to match my layout.

I also made this wreath from some Green Tara

 " wired cord." I was so happy how it turned out.

Here is my journalling.

Thanks so much for taking the time to call by.

I do hope you liked my layout.

Until next time.
