Whimsical Designs Blog Hop

Welcome! Welcome!
Welcome!

 

To the Whimsical Designs

"Give Thanks"
 Blog Hop!

The Hop runs from
 Friday 8th Nov 7pm EST
until
Sunday 10th Nov midnight EST.

For those of us in the UK
 that means midnight on Friday 8th
 until 5am Monday 11th.
Confusing or what....lol

(And to make it even more confusing,
 my Blog still thinks it lives in
 Perth, Western Australia!!!
 So the time and date on the post will be
 different again. I have tried to change it,
 but whichever country you set it up
 in is the country it stays in...lol)

 

You should have arrived here from
 Nanne's Blog.

  

If not, return to
 Whimsical Designs,
 where a complete list of
participating Blogs
 is given.

 

You don't want to miss any
 of the gorgeous projects
 on show.

 



I have created a layout for the Hop.

 

A recent photo of my gorgeous
 eldest Granddaughter
 from our recent trip
 to London

My background paper is from
 Webster's Designs
 "Nature's Storybook".

Title and date
Sassafras Lass
"Khaki Type"
Alphas.

The leaves are
 "Shabby Chic Autumn Leaves"
by
 Just Rite Stamps
on Vanilla
American Crafts cardstock.

And then some colouring fun with

 Distress Markers!

spiced marmalade

rusty hinge

shabby shutters

antique linen

scattered straw

crushed olive

tea dye.

I then painted a thin coating of

 KindyGlitz "Crystalina"

 over them and

 the frame.

The frame is from

Scrapmatts

 "Ornate Frames 11".

In the wee plastic bag

 is one of the leaves

 from the photograph.

And I have written the story

of the leaf on the back

 of the layout.

 

 A treasured moment with my

 Granddaughter!

 (Click on picture to enlarge

 and read - quite cute!)

Your next stop on the Hop

 is the gorgeous

 Sheila.....

 

 

And, a final photo....

 

How stunning is this!!

 

 

Enjoy the Hop
