Hello,
Today you find me on The Mad Scrapper Blog with another family layout to go along with another I made a couple of months back. That on was the 4 brothers at a wedding and this one is of the wives at another wedding with the addition of a sons wife so there are 5 O'Connell ladies.
I have used the same paper collection from 49 and Market as well as similar flowers but this time a touch more feminine I feel.
1
I started as I usually do by trimming my main paper down and distressing the edges before adding it to a solid paper but not before I gutted out the centre because I always find a use for some on the layout. The paper has 2 small faux stitched areas which I decided to stitch over using dusky pink quilting thread, you don't see it a lot but it adds texture.

Then using the saved paper I cut out a frame from a die I purchased from Janine, it's an art deco design and I tucked the photo just inside, I also stitched in cream at the top and bottom. Then I added some lace paper under the left hand side I added foam underneath for dimension and the ability to tuck my paper lace and chipboard tag under.

Then it was time to embellish with lots of flowers available in the store, here is the main cluster at the bottom left and that is my sister you see.

And here is the top right a little closer. I used a rose and a leaf sprig from a very old laser cut set from 49 and market, you may still have bits and bobs so look them out because they are too beautiful to leave in the packet.

In this photo you can just see a little bus ticket and that's a nod to the fact the congregation were driven to the reception on a special red double-decker bus. I also added the date within a little tab from another set. To finish off I added pearls about the clusters.

Thank you for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to mix in your older ephemera with all the beautiful new sets that are available at The Mad Scrapper .
Sue.
