Once
again, it is time to add another page to the family archives. The Lady
Commander of Copics and I went into the caverns and found the old tome
where the records are kept. After sifting carefully through boxes of
yellowed photographs, we found some of our parents’ wedding and decided
to use those to create the new archival entry.
I
don’t make scrapbook layouts often, because I don’t feel I’m
particularly skilled at them, but I guess that means I need the
practice. For this page, we used some vintagey looking patterned paper
and this weird “tissue-fabricy” type paper that I had procured at the Everything For One Brass Coin stand
in the Market Square. I chose these papers because I felt they matched
the autumn colours in the photos (my parents were married in October).
With great difficulty I tore the fabric/tissue paper and added it to the
side of the page.
The
sentiment was cut from the “Dreams Come True” Disney cartridge. We used orange and green for the flower because it matched those super ugly flower things on my father's beloved Dart. (I also love that the front wheel doesn't have a matching hubcap - lol). It’s
hard to tell in the picture, but the letters were embossed with my
trusty “Swiss Dots” Cuttlebug folder and the orange flower was embossed
with some floral patterned folder. That crazy silvery glittery plant
life was from the depths of my sister’s stash...I’ve no idea from whence
that originally came. Working on this earned me +70 LO exp points. I’ll
need many more to actually level up though.
The happy couple will drive off into the following challenges:
Desert Islands Crafters Challenge #56 (used #1:diecut/punch #3:patterned paper #4:gemstones #6:something glittery #7:dry embossing #10:sentiment)
With another page done, we carefully placed the ancient tome back and went to clean the dust from our tunics.
