PRECIOUS PAGES by PAULA

FRIDAY'S FARE

Well, I survived yesterdays medical procedures and am back to creating.  My first project for today was another layout from my visit to Hagley.  I chose the Color Palette and Inspiration from Color Combos Galore #242 and sketch #38 from Sketch 'N Scrap.

Color Palette & Inspiration Board:

  

   
The Sketch:


For this challenge you needed to use all 5 colors as well as select some inspiration from the photos.  I chose photo #2 for my inspiration and used modeling paste which I colored to match one of the colors.  I used this with a Crafters Workshop Template of bricks.  I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.  I used gold heart brads and gold stickles for my touches of gold.  The photos are actually both postcards as you were not permitted to take photos inside the mansion.

I am also entering this layout in challenge #183 - Anything with Scallops on Kaboodle Doodles.

My Layout:


For my next layout I used sketch #40 from My Scraps and More and another post card.  I rotated the sketch 1/4 turn clockwise.  For the challenge over at The Kraft Journal I used kraft paper and layers.  I used my new basket weave embossing folder to emboss the kraft paper and inked over it with Distress Walnut Stain.

The Sketch:


and My Layout:




I hope you have enjoyed more from my day at Hagley.  And now it's time to call it a night.  I hope to have more for you tomorrow!
