Hello,
Today you find me sharing a memory from back in 1998 over on The Mad Scrapper Blog . I have had this layout design in my head for years but have been waiting for the right paper to come out and I think this paper from the Whispering Way Collection is just that, it's called Farm Fresh. This is the B side the other has chickens, dried flowers etc on it.
I did my usual thing and gathered together stash that I believed I may use. Then I cut away two sections from the right hand side following the brickwork which would allow my photographs to show through. Because there were sunflowers on the papers A side and outside the gite I decided to trim the paper to 11.5 and mount on to this yellow paper. However I did add a little bit of card behind those bricks to give a little dimension which you will see better when the photos are in place.
This next photo shows the outside of the Gite which we drove to from our home in Dunstable, it was just around Rochefort. Yes we brought our sons bicycle with us which he enjoyed riding to and from the Boulangerie every day for our fresh bread or croissants. They thought he was very cute with his white blonde hair and attempting to say good morning or good bye in French. The walls were very thick which meant it was beautifully cool inside.
I decided to paint the Summer chipboard in white gesso mixed with a little blue paint. The little wooden buttons have the Eiffel Tower on them and the little tile has the word "life" on it which I thought went well. I cut out some tickets from other 49 and market collections to tuck here and there and use for journaling.
This was my sons bedroom you can see the thickness of the walls here. All the furniture within the property work so well with its feel it was such a lovely place to stay.
This photograph shows the tiny kitchen, not much workspace but it didn't matter. If you could see through that window you would see the huge garden with lots of space for our little paddling pool and the table and chairs. Beyond were fields of corn and another lovely walk. From here we went on to Paris tagging on our first visit to Disneyland Paris.
I fussy cut that pink flower and then used it to bring in the other flowers on the page, all available in the store.
I finished off with some of the new dew drop hearts. Thank you for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you to try some fussy cutting on layouts. Drop by to check out this collection and others available if not do what I do and grab a coffee and check out The Mad Scrapper
