The Scrapbook Garden- Dance Night

This is my 4th layout for kit 4 from

the Scrapbook Garden

I had this picture of my Mam and Dad, my Uncle Tom ( mams brother)

his wife my Auntie May and her brother Ronnie Lavery (who were

both also my dads cousins)

They were at the Miners Hall in Boldon at a dance.

The Miners hall has gone now, knocked down years ago but

at one time was somewhere for the people who lived around about to go

for dances , weddings , or parties in general.

I remember going there as a child and it was huge inside

(well it felt like it at the time, maybe it was because i was young)

For this layout  I used

Glitz Design Afternoon Muse - Banner

but the reverse side. The other side is fab and its always at this point i wish

I had 2 sheets of a particular paper, I often buy 2 sheets for that purpose.

Anyway this side won this time.

Its got all these fab music notes on it just perfect for a dance night photo.

I also used a Bazzill Just the Edge strip

inked down with Distress Ink to blend in with the paper

I used a music note punch and some black cardstock

which contrasted well.

I used Thickers for the 'Dance  Night' title which

I embossed with Black Embossing powder

which gave the letters a finish which looked like patent leather

which reminded me of dance shoes.

I matted my journaling on some

Basic Grey Sweet Threads paper from last months kit

( this paper pack has gone for miles and is well worth having in your kit)

and then black card to make it match in with the rest.

I then added a rubber stamp party girl in a glass

and a small wallet cut from black card , inside the wallet i put some white card

on which i used the Tando Music Mask

from last months kit and some black soot distress ink

to colour it down.

I wanted to creat a dance card idea although I know they looked

nothing like this at all. I then added some white music notes

to it again just for detail.

Lastly I made a record , I cut a black circle and then used a 5p piece

and cut out some printed paper ( i found this bell which I thought

looked like a record label) punched a tiny hole in it so the black card

showed through and voila one record.

I enjoy making my own embellishments I think it helps me

to personalise the pages more.

With a few music notes scattered around to finish it off.

all done.......
