Love - DT for Scrap Africa - Scrap your stash

Hello friends, welcome to my blog.
Today I’m sharing a DT layout for Scrap Africa
The challenge set by Erica Houghton was to Scrap your stash,
or things that are not on trend right now.

e.g. eyelets, rub ons.

It was such fun combining old stuff with new techniques to create a fresh look.

I hope you will have a look at the Design Team’s examples,
HERE
rummage around in your stash and play along.

 I found some very old, punched Bazzil Cardstock
and filled the holes with eyelets.

Added some gelato colours, crackle medium and stamping,

to jazz up the background.

 

 An old Prima flower and some new Prima lace.

The pink floral Chatterbox paper could be ten years old,
but I still love it.

  

The chipboard title is probably only two years old,

but I’d previously cut it into three pieces and couldn't get it to work.
A fresh coat of paint and joined together again,
it was just the thing for the title.

The Journalling is on the back of the layout and says:-

We usually have about a 3 minute window to get a photograph of you and this day was no exception. You'd given me your smiley face and your happy face and I thought I'd like to get a shot of you

without a smile. 

I said "Have you got a serious face?" 

"What does that mean Granny?" 

"When you're not smiling"

"But I like to smile Granny"

"What sort of a face do you have when you are in trouble?"

"I don't get in trouble Granny, 'cos I'm a good girl!"

 You can be sweet and charming, but there are also days, when you just like to be mischievous and not settle to anything.

Nevertheless, you tried to give me a serious face, but your cheeky grin kept threatening to break through.   Love Granny, 13 June 2014
