It's from 2008, I still rather like it - though I do remember that the silver mesh was a devil to stick down!

Throwback Thursday - White Easter
For Throwback Thursday, I thought I would share the only layout I have ever submitted to a magazine (it didn't get featured though!).

Throwback Thursday
This layout was completed in 2010, but the photo itself was taken in 2009. Myself, Sy and Karen are standing outside the Indian restaurant for our after-crop meal.
The gold borders were done with a Nestie die, with the positive cut at the base of the layout and the negative cut at the top. I used punches for the purple borders, both EK Success. No idea what the background paper is, but I used an Artemio stamp set over the splotchy purple paper and also for the gold embossed elements. The title is done with an alpha stamp from Banana Frog, not sure of the name.
All three of us have scrapped this photo, of course we came up with three different pages! This is one of my favourite photos and although I still like this layout, I am thinking of scrapping the picture again, just as a bit of fun :-)

Throwback Thursday - Spots & Stripes
For today's Throwback Thursday I have chosen this layout from 2010. DS1 is pictured somewhere in London where there were a lot of decorated tree trunks. I liked the way he was leaning against the spots in a stripy t-shirt!
I used stripy and spotty papers, cut the title on the robo and then embossed the letters with stripes and spots. As I remember, the asymmetric frame came from the need to hide an object in the photo and one of the triangle pennants was to hide a mistake, the others were to balance the design ...... I embossed those with stripes and spots as well :-)

Throwback Thursday - White Easter
For this week's Throwback Thursday, I thought I would share with you the only layout I have ever submitted to a magazine, back in 2008. The challenge theme was "collage", which I interpreted to mean multiple layers, different textures and the odd embellishment here and there.
I didn't win :-) Not that I really expected to, but I was quite annoyed to see that some of the winning entries couldn't really be called 'collage' at all - that seemed a bit unfair on all of us who had done what was asked. I have to say it put me off submitting anything else!
But I do still love the layout in my beloved aqua and white colourway. I seem to remember that the papers were Provocraft and Basic Grey, with silver mesh (attached with brads), ribbon and resin snowflakes. The large snowflake was stamped and embossed in white on vellum. The title was robo-cut and the edging strips around the photo were done with a border punch. I am actually amazed that I can recall such detail from 2008 LOL.
If I were to do it again today, I don't think I would have such a harsh straight line between the Basic Grey snowflake paper and the rest of the page and maybe I wouldn't have split the background exactly in half like that. Apart from that, it's not too bad :-)
