I'm thrilled to be starting the new year with a new layout for the January Scrap Around The World challenge. You can find the challenge here. Here's the mood board for this month. It was designed by DT member Karita Vainio. Isn't it a stunner?
This is so beautifully shabby vintage! I figure that I'm getting a bit shabby vintage myself so I decided to scrap a very old photo of me! Here's what I made:
I used so many influences from the mood board - the white, green and rusty colours from the keys, the pink from the roses, distressing and the use of a frame.
All the papers on this are Webster's Pages. I've used two separate, but similar, ranges - 'Nest' and 'Beautiful Chic'. These are two of the most stunning ranges I've ever seen. And no, I don't work for Webster's Pages. (Maybe I should!)
I love this photo! I must have been having a fabulous time! This photo brings back many memories so I wrote my journalling behind it:
Here's what I wrote:
I love these new Thickers I just bought. You can't see it in this pic but they're quite sparkly.
The gorgeous large frame is from The Dusty Attic. I've flicked Dusty Attic paint all over the background and used Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts randomly on the frame for a bit of shabby distressing.
I hope you can join in the challenge this month. There are oodles of prizes up for grabs:

Lovely layout Heather! Such a pretty mood board this month, love the DA frame! Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteThis is soooo pretty.... You sure have got your shabby chic on......& I think you're more chic than shabby! And DEFFO NOT vintage, either, while we're at it. Although......vintage wines mature beautifully, so they say...so that sorta vintage is ok, I reckon. I just got distracted!!!!!! I WAS saying, that corrugated board? Fab...& the way you've done the journaling? DOUBLE fab!!! And I remember my bike had streamers, must've been "the thing". .... Might have a go at this one. Wonder if I can find an old photo of myself, just for the fun of it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThat would be awesome Lizzy!
DeleteWow wow wow!! This is gorgeous! I loveeeeeeeee that photo, the way you added journaling and the frame around the page!!! WOW!!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning page Heather...love the DA frame and all the layering and texture. Gorgeous use of the mood board.
ReplyDeleteStunning layout and I loved the story. It is amazing how much we can remember. So cool that you lived next door to Thorpes who were English I wonder if they were related :D Lovely layout and cool take on the challenge. <3
