So - one lone crafter in search of a focus - I thought back to the days when all was simple and everything was in black and white, when we were young and the Sixties had just discovered everything, and I met OH.
Lucklily I had not destroyed all my piccies of that era, and found some suitable, when we had just got engaged, everything was rosy, and we didn't have one iota of an idea of what was ahead of us.I couldn't think how to fill up a 12x12 layout, till it flashed into my mind that a 6x6 diagonally would split it up nicely, thank you, and give handy wee pockets for posting the piccies.
I stuck the pics onto the backs of square envelopes to keep journaling thoughts in.
So far most of my thoughts have been beyond words.
And lo and behold! I won! Global adulation, prize from Hellybelly,
and the layout pictured on the front of the LMC 21 newsletter.
Yeah! Pizza's Rule!
So this Christmas my No.3 Son John and his Girlfriend Forever, Liana,
decided to take one tentative step forward and formalise their relationship by getting engaged.
So they did.
Lightning did not strike nor did the roof fall in,
so they are quietly encouraged that it may have been a good move
in possibly the right direction.
And since I now knew how to do it, I Scrapbooked the event!
In colour because we are not in the 60's now.
(The 60's discovered colour.)
LMC20 Kissy paper cut square and set diagonally as above,
hearts at the corners, and made these the pockets.
I used Christmas cards to back the pics, so that the page looks like this:
Then like this:
Embellished with tiny envelopes and chipboard tags.Viva el Pizza!
Liana looks lovely, as always, but I am sorry about John.
He is an actor and the part he's playing need him to look like this.
He doesn't always.
Good teeth, hasn't he?
I accidentally went and left my prizewinning page at the boys' flat in Edinburgh.
They have promised not to sit on it.
