Never Too Old For Love

Good Evening (here in the UK, anyway)... I hope you're having a fab day and looking forward to a wonderful weekend.

 

I'd like to share a couple of things with you today, firstly a scrapbook layout I did following a sketch and  secondly a little card I whipped up just now.

 

The sketch layout is from LETS GET SKETCHY, the DT there... are fabulous!  The sketch is...

 

 

MY TAKE...

 

My Uncle Roy with his beautiful Filipino bride.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used a variety of bits from my stash for this layout - the background paper is from AMERICAN CRAFTS AMY TANGERINE 'Yes, Please' collection, the other papers are from FIRST EDITION 'Dreamcatcher; DOCRAFTS FOREVER FRIENDS 'Kraft Notes'.  I also found some heart vellum (both for a mat and as the banners at the top of the page, which are held in place with a couple of paper clips); also I embossed (then sanded back) a piece of CORE'DINATIONS 'Black Magic' in teal.  For embellishment, I used some mists (splattered here and there), a doily and a large fabric flower by TERESA COLLINS 'Fabrications' collection.  I am 'well pleased' with how this turned out and I will be placing it in a 12x12 page protector and putting it in my family album. Thanks LETS GET SKETCHY for the inspiration!

 

Now for my card...

 

 

Just a quick little number I knocked up from the bits and pieces I had floating around on my craft desk!  The vellum background is the same as I used with the layout above, except I punched the corners with a MARTHA STEWART punch.  The border strip and gems are  VERY old finds from the local £ shop, as are the black doily shapes and flower strips.  The rosette and sentiment are both from the AMERICAN CRAFTS AMY TANGERINE 'Yes, Please' collection.  5 minute card - whoop, whoop!
