Family photo shoot

Here is another page that I took a lesson with Trina McClune http://www.trinamcclune.typepad.com/.   It was on layering your page, and the end result was beautiful. The Background paper is a Pink Paislee. Using a butterfly from another page to embellish and there is a wee angle at the top of the photos cut from another page in this series.

We used Dusty Attic brick chip board and removed some of the "bricks".

It must have been one of the things of the show as we coloured and scrunched up muslin in this class too. We stuck it down using a glue gun, scrunching as we went, and added the two little pins at the bottom.

I really loved this class and Trina was doing several classes over the week, however the rest of the classes were booked out and this was the only one I got into.Shame  really, but a good excuse to go to some of her classes this year.

Family fun

I was lucky enough to be able to go to the annual scrapbooking show in NZ last year (SENZ) and attended a couple of classes This was a fun class to go to ( messy fun too) by Jill Geraghty-Groves  http://jillgg.typepad.com/.   A very talented Australian lady who came to NZ to run several classes . We cut our background paper into 2" squares then distressed with ink and then applied them all jumbled up onto another plain background page. We then added our photo, text and embellishments. I used distress inks by Tim Holtz ( vintage photo and faded jeans), spritzing some of the faded jeans onto the paper as well to help lift it as originally the idea was to use one colour only, however the vintage photo was a little overwhelming. On the right side we coloured muslin cloth and scrunched this up to add some more texture to the page
