love you - Dusty Attic

Hello!

And just like that it is May! I seem to blink and it's a new month again ... Today I have a layout which has my whole heart on one page - albeit the photo was taken about 22 years ago. My husband, son and daughter ..... 

When we lived in South Africa, there was house that used have these small train engines that used to pull seats behind it, through other houses in our neighbourhood, and my kids (particularly my son) would love going on these. It was a great family outing. Here my husband is sitting with both kids in front of him and holding them as they were about to leave on their little trip. 

I have used a Mintay range of papers and ephemera to create my page. The Dusty Attic Chipboard used is DA2762 Mint leaves and DA3196 Mistletoe. These are painted with Art Alchemy Prima Metallic paint. 

I first sanded the edges of my photo and adhered this to the page with foam tape, so that I was able to to tuck my flowers and leaves under the photo all around it.

The edges of the Mistletoe pieces were edged off with Glossy Accents to give it a bubble-dimension effect.

Once I completed the layering, I added the letters "love you" using the same paint and the the "Fun Times" Alphabet set DA2698.

These are the products I have used:

Thanks for visiting the blog today.

Take care,
