I found an old photograph of my first birthday with my parents. Its not the best photograph as it is old, and not clear, etc. However, it is a special memory for me, as my Dad passed away on New Years Eve, he had Motor Neuron Disease.
Before I explain more on my layout, I had an email from a lady who was asking about why I always list a 'chipboard sheet' in my materials list, so perhaps there are more that ask this question as well. I use the chipboard as a base for my layouts. Cardstock, even though sturdy, often doesn't support fully the layout, especially if you are using mediums, and lots of embellishing. All in all, it really is a support base :-) You can find a variety of thicknesses '
here'.
I've used the Penelope Dee papers, each paper of this collection is just stunning, and teamed this great paper range with some
corrugated cardboard. To shabby the layout, I added white paint (not gesso) here, there and everywhere - I was tempted to brush across the
Kaisercraft Blooms as well, but did not want a really washed out look, and those flowers really pop. Green Tara have a lovely selection of flowers and
laces. The
Azalea's are stunning and always look amazing in a flower arrangement. Also,
The Scrapbook Store, has their own flower range which can be seen '
here' - I have used the
1cm semi-open rosebuds.
Also, this month I'm exploring a new product (to me)
Nuvo Glitter Drops, which I used on my title to add glimmer and dimension. I just adore this product and am looking forwards to trying the Jewel Drops and Crystal Drops.
Have a great weekend ....
