Another 'Sara Lee' Layout!

I had so much fun creating my last 'Sara Lee' layout (layer upon layer - see post HERE) and was so happy with the results, I decided to try it again. I have been really inspired by the work of mixed media artists recently, so I wanted to see if I could translate some of the techniques they use over onto a layout.

This one was created for Ant's July Monthly Challenge at Scrapbooking Top 50, where we had to create a 'wintery' LO. Given that I live on the Sunshine Coast in Qld, our winter is a little different to that down south of the border, so I was hard-pressed to find any really 'wintery' pics in my stash. I did however, find this pic of myself & Vicki (from Top 50) taken when I went down to visit her in Mount Gambier. Despite the fact it wasn't actually Winter, it was COLD and we were hugging to stay warm.

Here is my LO...


The extra challenge criteria was to include texture (plenty of that!) and a handmade title (mine was stamped & handcut).

Here's a few close-ups of the details - some yummy Tim Holtz stamps....


Beautiful wild rose from D-lish Scraps and a bit more Timmy... 


Love the texture of the crochet lace, and this was my last lime Green Tara mini rose *sniff*...


Hmmmmm...think I am going to have to try another LO in this style...what do you think???

This is one of my absolute favs of all of your LOs ever Sue - it is just amazing. I think it is safe to say you nailed that challenge! Hugs.
