A Little Late...and JYC

... I know it is a little late to post this for Remembrance day but I enjoyed making this layout so much that I just had to blog it!  I was commissioned to use the poppy stamps on a layout for Creativity Magazine Issue 18.  I haven't seen the layout in print because I don't get send a copy of the magazine and I haven't seen it any shops yet but I know that the issue is available now.

The photographs feature members of Mark's family and as a military family we have a great respect for those that fight or have fought for our country. 

This layout was made from the heart and it took an age to stamp, colour and cut out all those poppies but it was worth it.  I made the little wooden crosses from coffee stirrers (McDonalds) tied together with a piece of linen thread.  The title was cut with the Quickutz Silhouette as was the torn effect paper.  The border of the page is raised on 3D foam to frame the layout.

 

I am currently waiting for a heap of glitter to dry on the cover of my album for Shimelle's 'Journal Your Christmas' class.  I had a slight disaster this afternoon, after covering myself in gesso, gel medium, paint, Glimmer Mist and embossing powder whilst making the album I was just going to finish off a snowflake by painting some glitter glaze over the top and and managed to accidently squirt half the bottle over the front of my album!!  I managed to rescue it but I was NOT happy when it happened, I did actually scream!!!
