Get me to the church on time

Hello again

Wow, time just seem to fly, I can't believe we are in March already. It seems like yesterday I've done my first post February. I do hope that you have all had a wonderful 2 weeks again and that you all managed to get a bit crafty. I managed to squeeze in some time last Thursday night and scrapped till the early hours of Friday morning. Needless to say, I definitely paid for it the next day... Never the less I am quite pleased with what I've created, and would love to share it with you.

The title of this layout is based on the lyrics of an old song from the movie My Fair Lady, I recalled whilst scrapping the time away and the more I thought about it, the more I realised just how appropriate it was for my wedding 10 years ago. On our first arrival at the church my brother in law and I were told to leave again and go for a drive because everyone has not arrived as yet. Not too fussed about the idea we went off to check out the nearby suburbs. It so happened that our little drive took a wee bit longer than it should have and according to everyone else we were the ones who were late. It’s fair to say that although happy, my beloved husband did not find it amusing...

January Kraft It Up Challenge

Hello everyone

I can't tell you how much I appreciate this little Christmas Break, which allows me to get a bit crafty and get the creative juices flowing. So today, I'd like to share my take on the Kraft It Up Challenge for January. 

The Criteria is to use washi tape, a number and a summer photo, working with the follow sketch:

So this is my take on it:

For the purpose of this challenge, I used washi tape to create a photomat for my photos.

The Title:

The title (February 2004) proved to be quite a challenge as my only white rub-on letters has deteriorated over time and had no numbers. I found a solution by using the ones I had and filled in the gaps with little bits from other letters with similar curves. To resolve the number issue, I used a z as the number 2, the letter o instead of 0 and finally a skewed x for the 4. To complete the 4, I again filled in the extra line with another line from another broken letter.

The rose vine:

To construct the rose vine, I covered florist wire with a craft paper string. I then bent it into shape, according to where I wanted the roses on my layout and attached them one by one.

Detail on the patterned paper:

I first fussy cut some shapes from my patterned craft paper and then colored some lines with smooch ink to match with my cardstock and photos.
