Sisters

 

Good Morning Friends,  Today I'm posting a picture of my sister and I from our salon date on our daughters wedding day.  I love this A Ladies Dairy paper collection from Graphic 45 and this beautiful chipboard Dusty Attic dress form.  To create this layout, I kept it simple.  Just layered two papers, fussy cut the clocks and popped them up to add some dimension.  I surrounded the clocks with flower clusters, cut out circular mats for our pictures and also popped them up.  I used a torn script page to mat the vintage image and distressed the vintage dress form with white for that shabby chic look.  All the edges were distressed with a file and inked.  And again distressed the 'Sisters' chipboard with white and popped it up too.  The results are simple, yet easy to do and very elegant. 

Thank you for dropping by my gallery today dear friends!  I hope you all enjoy your day!  ~ Dawna

Great Aunt Nora Circa 1800's

 

Good Morning Friends,

Today I'm posting a lovely layout of my great aunt Nora with a beautiful picture of her from the early 1800's. My Aunt Nora was married to William Fairchild in the early 1800's.  Her maiden name was Spencer.  

To create this simple vintage layout I started with a blue back ground piece, then layered a punched printed page on top.   I added a few more layers with a doily made from the Cricut using the Paper Lace cartridge and added a simple white Wilton doily.  I matted and framed a few wonderful vintage images from A Ladies Diary paper collection from Graphic 45.   I handmade the pink flower with pearl center, die cut the leaves, and added a few rolled roses to finish the flower cluster.  I added a corner chipboard for a little extra depth and interest.  Then as a final touch, I added the birdcage and a few birds in flight.  

Just a few close ups I hope you'll enjoy:
