Design Kit - layout 2 'Day Trip'

This is my 2nd layout from this months design kit for

The Scrapbook Garden

I decided to use this old photo from my collection

which I thought matched beautifully to these papers.

Its a photo of my Great Grandparents out on a day trip

unfortunately I dont have an idea where too , when or indeed who any of

the people are whom they are with.

I had to have a giggle to myself that although out for the day they dont

half look very miserable.

I wonder if any of these people have relatives in

Boldon nowadays ?

The fancy hats and long dress coats i thought went well

 with the colours ive used in this layout.

I began with a 12 x 12 of Bazzill French Vanilla ....

my absolute favourite shade at the moment.

I cut some large daisys using Bazzill Blackbird

French Vanilla  and Bazzill Tulle in Raven

I used an ink pad to colour the french vanilla piecses

with pink ink.

I joined them together using the Delish Designs

Sweet Brads (Peppercorn Collection)

I selected some pieces of card

Prima Almanac Edison and

Glitz Designs Pretty In Pink in Polka

backing them all with

Bazzill Blackbird I felt the black matting made the pretty

papers stand out alot and gave an air of grace as

everyone in the photo looks as thought they have on their Sunday Best.

I laid out the pieces on the French Vanilla

Added the flowers

Top and Bottom

The image

and journaling and the title for which I used the

My Minds Eye Lush Chipboard Alphabet Stickers

And thats my layout.

These were gorgeous papers , brilliant quality and price.
