Stamps Ahead

This is a layout I created for this month's challenge at White with 1 . Our challenge was to use shades of brown with a white background and to include vintage book pages on the layout. The photos were taken at a recent retreat I attended and the Saturday lunch was a high-tea Alice in Wonderland style - with tables decorated and several people dressed as characters from Alice in Wonderland. I have created a collage of papers from an old Alice in Wonderland book - Chapter 5 A Mad Tea Party. Some stencilling and stamping in Ranger Distress Oxide Ink Ground Expresso.   I loved this quote in Chapter 5, it put a smile on my face.  'Up above the world you fly, Like a tea-tray in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle .......'" Thank you for looking, Margaret

I was thrilled to be asked to be a Guest Detective/Designer for CSI June case files.  Here is the layout I designed for Country Cooking Month File No. 478.  Criteria for the Case File was to draw inspiration from the scene, the evidence and testimony I have the red from the scene.  For evidence, I used patten paper, cooking themed items (Cakes, tarts, sandwiches and much more) from Mad Hatter's Tea Party, brads.  For testimony I used 3 of the June prompts -What reminds you of your past? The best kind of laughter is.. and where do you always have fun? I have journalled the answers to these on the back of the tags under the 3 photos at the top.    My photos were taken at Scrapping Clearly retreat Down the Rabbit Hole recently held in Gundagai, NSW. On the Saturday we had a Mad Hatters Tea Party lunch, and the sign was one of the decorations as we walked into the hall where retreat was held.  The printed papers are from Stamperia Alice in Wonderland pape...
