The photos were taken in March 2011, at the cemetry just after DH's mother's internment - hence the reason for a bit of a 'light heartedness' with Elmo...my DH often wears that T when he thinks he (or someone else) needs cheering up!!! Also, its a Cairns family joke about having photos taken with their hands folded on their laps, so I just had to ensure that part of the photo was still showing !! In addition to the September challenge at Authentique, I am submitting this for the Blog Hop celebrating the first birthday over at Southern Girls Challenge (All about layering).
Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper: Authentique Paper ("Unique" , "Rare", "Distinct", "Gifted" and "Special" from the Uncommon Collection);
Red Fimo hearts: Eye Candy Magic (May sale);
Ink: VersaColor(311 Antique);
Alphas: Basic Grey (black); and Bella! (white)
Adhesives: Helmar (Super-Tac glue, 450 Quick dry and 3D Scrap dots)
Edge Punch: Martha Stewart
Other from my stash: 'family' tag, mesh, tiny black flowers, fabric (Elmo)
Next post, I'm hoping to share my LO for the Scrapping Outback September 5 product challenge. TFL xxx
