My Little Choir Girl

I did this layout at the Vintage Indulgence retreat in New Zealand recently.  I had a fabulous weekend teaching a make n take and spending time with my online buddies.  I really feel like I've cemented some friendships that were 'meant to be'.  

My journaling is the tag in the top left hand corner as I am determined to not only create beautiful layouts I am happy with, but to journal and not forget why I started scrapbooking in the first place - to preserve our memories and tell a story!!  This photo is of Erin ready to perform in the school choir - she loves it and I am so happy that we share a love of singing and music!

• The background was stamped with the butterfly stamp in black stazon, then the butterflies colours with white resist crayon.
• I then sprayed the page with Banshee Black starbust (and the doily) and edged with black soot distress ink.
• I added the patterned paper (edged too!) and the doily
• I coloured the chippy frame with black stazon and when dry, added the silver rhinestones
• added some strips of washi (not wasabi LOL) tape
• I added the photo, frame and the manorhouse creations rosettes
• attached the charm from My2Angels
• Placed the white Grace flourishes
• slid the tag for my hidden journaling in at the top of the rosettes under the frame...
• and finished by adding just a touch of the irridescent medium to the rosettes

And the customary close-up :-)
