De-railed

Did not realised that this layout had been sitting in my album and not uploaded for some time.  I spent one weekend misting and playing with the masks effects when I received my purchases from Vpost, and did this masking.  I super ♥ giant blooms so I also plugged in the large prima blooms, recycled its beautiful green packaging and layered the elementgs togeher for a Railway layout.  This was taken at the railway tracks on of those weekends before it was closed down and the rails removed.

The girls were still very small so we had only completed half track when they said they were tired.  The paths were strewn with large heavy stones that didn't make for easy walking on tiny feet.

Look at the luscious purple blooms...

Materials : paper - DCVW cardstock; mist - own made ; flower and packaging - prima ; fonts - Thickers and Pink Paislee; embellishments - K&Co, Basic Grey, Girls Paperie; dew drops.

Thru Thick & Thin

BY & I have been married for 10 years, so I was trying to sift through my photos for us together.  Thanks to the many computer crashes, we don't have much! So I took one that we took at the start of the year when I got my iphone 4.  The photo had been deliberately made old and retro by an app and I thought it would be perfect for a 10 yr layout.

Combined with my interest in creating "dirty" layout (which had June laughing at me for liking dirty layouts), I did this vintagey, retroey, non fluffy layout.

I'm not a frequent user of rub-ons, but on this one I applied two different types to get the contrasting letters in the same height.  I also managed to get a number of rub-ons on my fingertips... haha!

I like that imperfect look. 

Materials : Papers - DCVW cardstock, K&Co patterned paper; Washi Tape; October Afternoon rub on letters; CatsLifePress stamp; Maya mists; Tattered Angels glimmer screens.

Wish that was me...

One day some time ago, we went to Vivo City and Ms E chanced upon this ride.  It cost us $8 for 5 mins, and the operator would not allow more than 1 kid up on the ride.  At that time, BbC was not too stable so we thought we would just leave her outside with me to wait.  Who knows, she stood at the side looking on longingly and the dad and sis on the rides and even patted one of the deflated giraffe that was wheeled in in delight!  Felt so bad that she didn't get to ride, but the queue was too long to go again.

Next time, we will ask her godma Diana to bring her :)
