Layout: Crazy Fun

Just for fun.

*Crazy Fun*

Journaling: Brick Lane Market is so inspiring and crazy! I try to go everytime we are in London. London June 2009

Supplies: Anthropologie Color Book Cover, Golden Montana Spray Paints, selfmade stencils, Tattered Angels STencils, Sassafrass lass Border, Prima Centers, October Afternoon Letter Stickers, 7Gypsies Tag, 3L Scrapbook Adhesives Photo Tape

I created my own stencils – trees and circles and used also some Tattered Angels’ Stencils and spraypainted over them on top of a colorbook cover. I sewed down the Borders.

I wanted to reflect the crazyness of this place in my background – graffiti-like.
I guess I will never ever see this layout again since it was just kept by a magazine that requested this layout but just doesn’t care enough to tell their submitting people when their layouts were published nor to send them the complimentary issues nor to send them back the layouts. Somebody else had shown me that my other layout I had sent in at the same time was published- and I haven’t even gotten that one back. So maybe it was published- maybe not – I don’t care- here I share :)

Wishing you an amazing day!

    I *heart* the background – it totally reflects the feel of the huzzle and buzzle you see in the pictures. Wicked

Layout: These Hands

I love this photo of my beloved Aunt Margot’s hands. I also used a handwritten letter of her and included it as part of the layout. And isn’t it awesome how you can create a nice background with just white Cardstock and some Tattered Angels Products :)

Ich liebe dieses Photo der Hände meiner geliebten Tante Margot. Ich habe zudem einen handgeschriebenen Brief von ihr in das Layout eingefügt.  Und ist es nicht genial wie man nur mit einem weißen Cardstock und ein paar Tattered Angels Produkten einen schönen Hintergrund erstellen kann :)

*These Hands*

Journaling: These hands write beautiful letters, touching my cheeks and “talk”! I love these hands – they are yours! Aunt Margot July 2009

Supplies: Prism Cardstock, Tattered Angels Stencil, TA Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Glam. Rainbow Ink pad, TA Swirl Stamp, White Crepe Paper, Doily, Crepe paper by TA and Heidi Swapp Chipboard Letters, TA Chipboard Heart, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3 L, Faber Castell Foil Pen

 

I sprayed over a heart stencil with Glimmer Mist and then applied Glimmer Glam.  I did the same with the chipboard Heart and the piece of handwritten card. I also sprayed the doily and the TA Crepepaper. I cut a piece of white crepe paper and sprayed it with Glimmer Mist and then applied it behind in ruffles behind the chipboard heart. Stamped randomly with the Rainbow Ink and a Swirl stamp.

 

Huge hugs :)

    Something tells me that I’ll have a hard time finding this at my local stores (tee hee) and an even harder time reading it if I do find it! The pics can always inspire though.

    Beautiful layout! Love it!

    BTW, do you know if the online edition is different from printed edition? Cause I subscribe to online edition, the May cover is the same, but I didn’t see your layout! And I have already noticed that with other projects too.
    Hugs!
