Hi Everyone,
My layout today is of my beautiful sister Megan, who passed away in Jan 2006 this photo was taken just after Megan was diagnosed with cancer. We had a girls weekend up the coast and I will forever treasure those memories of our wonderful weekend with our besties, I just wish I had taken more photos, sadly we thought we would have more time with Megan, but her cancer was so aggressive and took hold so quickly.
I look at this photo and other from the weekend and all the memories from that weekend come flooding back to me and one thing that I remember the most is Megan kept smiling all weekend.
This is why taking photos and recording your memories is just so important.
I have been sick with pneumonia for the last few weeks and so with lots of time to browse the internet, rather than shopping online,
I thought I would get browse some challenge sites for inspiration.
I came across this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches and used it as my inspiration for my layout

I came across this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches and used it as my inspiration for my layout
here are a couple of steps on how my background was created
layer all the paper pieces and mark their placement
I used the Ultimate Crafts Magnolia Lane Damask Frame die to create a mask for adding texture paste
while the texture paste was still wet I sprinkled on some Couture Creations ultra fine iridescent glitter
some close ups
