{Cherub Layout}

Just in the nick of time!  Wow - that has been the story of today all around.

Tongiht's class was a cool scrapbooking layout and I used the Just Add Ink Challenge for inspriation:

 The main theme for tonight was learning how to (or one way to) add a bit of colour to Black and White photos.

The ladies all did very well - all of their works of art turned out just amazing.  It's a neat way to add a real neat interest to your photo.

The layout design is relatively simple (inspired by May PageMaps www.pagemaps.com), but we did add a fair bit of detail.  Personally, I've been binging on sponging and antiquing, so wanted to keep this one a bit more sleek, but still elegant.

I had to hold my breath while stamping directly onto this original photo (yes, I can be idiotic at times - must be lack of carbs).  But all is well.  A strategic flower covers all sins.

The words are from Heard from the Heart, but using only a portion of the sentiment.  Removing the "wishing you" portion makes this perfect for a scrapbooking layout.

The frame is from the Hodge Podge kit.  I've filled it with the new Heart Punch done in reverse and tied on a bit of So Saffron ribbon. 

The title is cut out with the Big Shot and our new alphabet - Timeless Type.  Loved how easy it was to whip those out!  All three of my girls asked me what Cherub was - funny the words you think everyone knows . . .

Join us for our next scrapbooking night!  Or book your own - happy to travel to you!

Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Heard from the Heart (both Winter Mini)
