This is a great layout - you coordinated your paper so beautifully - I'd have to spend about a month to do that much coordinating and would still be second guessing myself. I really enjoy your layouts.
Hey Adie~~ I LOVE this layout! Beautiful. Not that I don't love seeing my adorable great niece but it is a nice change to see you! You are so talented, beautiful pages!!!! Love Ya.
WOW. I can see why this took you so long to complete. The stitching is just fantastic, and all the details are wonderful. This is just awesome, and I hope you are proud of this one!
WOW so many layers of creative going on here. I am just lovein the great Paper choices and the little details really bring it all together here. What a wonderful job!
This is a BEAUTIFUL layout! I love all the details and embellishments! So inspiring! I can't pick just one feature, I LOVE the whole thing! Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Into the faves!
This is just beautiful. So many wonderful elements to look at, but I must say my favorite is all the embroidered stitching. So many flourishes and outlines. Just amazing. I love all the chinese influenced items here, like the cherry blossom trees, scroll, and the fortune cookies are just too cute. Very nicely done!
PP is fabulous, reminds me of kimono fabrics. Beautiful LO. So much to see. I love the Title lettering and those blossoms on the branches.
This is truly a work of art
I really love all the hand-stitching you used in this layout. I'm not sure I'd have had the same patience as you even though the results are amazing :o)
Wow! Very expressive. You definitely chose the right papers and the fortune cookies and branches are the perfect accents. I love your titles, too -blends in totally with the look. Great job! I hope you are framing this one.
The picture is of me shopping in Chinatown San Francisco. I tried to use papers and elements that had an Asian feel...I think I accomplished it! :)
The background paper is My Mind's Eye (Out & About - Medallion Paper. The large flower is My Mind's Eye (Out & About - No. 1 Ornamental). The side floral strip and fan are My Mind's Eye (Out & About - Orange Flowers Paper)...all the same line for some consistancy. The glitter strip down the side and pleated behind the chipboard frame is Making Memories - Chelsea's Place. The fortune cookies and scroll are The Paper Company - Kraft. The cherry blossom branches are The Paper Company - Brown Mulberry. The green leaves on the cherry blossom branches are Bazzill. The chipboard frame is Colorbok. The fortune cookie paper is The Paper Company - Metallic Gold. The cherry blossom flowers are Making Memories pink flower brads, highlighted with light pink, green acrylic paint center and clear stickles. The chipboard frame was painted metallic halo pink, sanded, stenciled/masked with dark red acrylic paint, sanded, inked, sanded, highlighted with light pink/gold/brown acrylic paint and loose gems applied. The word Chinatown was traced on, painted with brown acrylic paint, pierced then stitched with sage green embroidery floss. The fan was folded, inked then the burnt orange embroidery floss was attached. The scroll is kraft paper attached to painted and inked wooden skewers, journaling written, inked with brown and red then rolled up and tan/brown ribbon scrap attached and tied. The flourishes were drawn on, pierced then stitched with pink/dark red/burnt orange embroidery floss. The large flower, side strips and fortune cookies were inked with brown.
I think that's it...this took me 4 evenings to complete! LOL
Thanks for taking a look! :)
Scroll opens and journaling reads: April 20, 2008 - Shopping in Chinatown for warmer clothing for our Alcatraz trip on April 21st. It didn't help! It was ridiculously cold!
