SWEET  - created for CSI #21 Challenge

I have a thing for banners or bunting lately, I just love them at the moment.

I have chosen from the evidence list -  ribbons, flowers, lacy border, layers.

and from the Testimony list  ribbon onto my journalling tag, which is inside the little pocket, I love you so much.

The journalling tag describes how much I love my Darling Daughter. XX

Papers are from Meg's Garden & Glitz paper

Thanks for looking and enjoy the sun :)

Mother - OUAS

I created with this sketch at "Once upon a sketch" challenge 
you have only a few days left to enter here is my take. 

The photo I have scrapped has a bit of history, it is a copy of a very old photo of my grandmother with 3 of her young children, the baby she is holding is of my Mother. 
Taken in 1940, my mother was only a few months old.

My grandfather took the original photo with him when he was fighting in WW2.

We don’t have many photographs of the family, so this is so special to all of us.  It is a bit damaged, and you can see the creases in the photo. I must take it to a place where they can retouch it and bring to back to its original details.

 

Journalling reads

“Mother’s hold their children’s

hands for a short while 

but their hearts forever”

With the flourish and tulip corners chipboard I painted with

Gesso and added glossy accents on it.

with the alphas I painted it with white paint,

then stamped a Prima script stamp with light grey ink

and inked the edges with vintage photo distress ink.

The layout is based on a Sketch from the talented

Nadia from the Imaginarium Design Team and also from

the challenge blog ‘Once upon a sketch”.

HOME SWEET HOME - ID design team project

HOME SWEET HOME  -  Vintage Quilt Hanger

Here is my next Design Team project for
"Imaginarium Designs"

HOME SWEET HOME - ID DT APRIL 2012

When I received this “Emma Frame” IDTFR0012, it reminded of my days when I did quilting and stitching. With the small rectangles and squares with the gorgeous flourish on top and inside the frames. I decided to make a mini quilt hanging piece, and have called this project “Home Sweet Home”.

First I painted the Emma frame with brown paint, then embossed ink all over the frame, sprinkled Vintage photo distress embossing powder by Tim Holtz. Heated the frame with my heating gun. The finished effect is like a soft suede mat look to the frame.

Then I cut a piece of chipboard slightly bigger than the frame

covered with it paper, inked the edges then added lace & ribbon on bottom.  I then cut out pieces of paper, placed on the underside on each opening. Inked the Letters, flourishes and tinies. Arranged embellishments. Attached clips to hold the frame on top, tied with beautiful seam binding. Then attached the finished frame on to the covered chipboard square.

ID CHIPPIES USED
