Class with Leonie

I attended a class today at my LSS - Scrap It - Flaunt It - with my lovely friend Leonie Vellender....


Her heritage layouts are stunning, and this one is no exception - using K & Co papers and lots of punched out retro flowers....



The flowers, along with Kaiser pearls and rhinestones, are stunning....





The photo is my wee brother and I at the beach back in 1968 - check out the bikini!!!!.....



Fiskars edge punch, little bit of ink, some lace, little bit of stamping, voila - beaut page in a couple of hours, no headache for me, all designed and ready to make.....



Love it.....


The little box covered in shells in top photo, is a treasure I have had for many years. When I was a little girl I used to keep all those little important things in it that were precious to me at that time.....
The memories have faded as to what those treasures were, but the importance of this little box is as large as ever.....
The box belonged to my maternal Grandmother, who died when I was two.....

Leonie has a lovely blog of beautiful vintage/heritage layouts, so for some inspiration, hop on over to
www.somethingoldbutnewagain.blogspot.com you won't be disappointed....
Hugs - til next post.....

This layout qualifies for three challenges.....


Firstly, the sketch over at SOUS www.stuckonusketches.blogspot.com by Aymee Gandy....



The challenge at Practical Scrappers www.practicalscrappers.com to use Die Cuts....

The scallop circle is cut on Cricut at 9" from Gypsy Wanderings with a smaller circle inside at 7.34" from George....

The Christmas is on its Way scalloped circles have been cut with Nestabilities....

And the challenge at Frosted Designs www.frosteddesigns.blogspot.com to do embossing....

The bauble decorations at top right and the Christmas is on its Way have been stamped using Inkadinkadoo, Papermania and Kaiser clear stamps, with Versamark stamp pad, embossed with American Crafts Zing EP and then heat embossed with a heat gun to give the lovely shimmering, metallic look...


Papers used are Delish Designs Mulberry Season and Gold Mirror card and the ribbon is from my stash....

This was my entry, and boy was I shocked when I noticed that my layout had been chosen as one of the top three, after the Grand Winner....
