Extreme Close Up........and another publication!

Hello, we're almost there at the weekend thank goodness.  It's been a pretty busy week in our house and will probably carry on through for.....like......ever I'm guessing!

I realised I hadn't shared another stroke of luck I received a couple of months ago, some happy new from Canadian Scrapbooker.

     

I'd finally plucked up the courage to send a layout to them for consideration, and just when I'd completely forgotten about it ( I didn't realise how long these things take!), I got the e-mail requesting 'said layout' for publication in the Fall issue!

Happy dance for me!!

Anyhow, I now have a copy of the latest issue in my hands which means I'm able to show the page on here.

Here goes 'Extreme Close Up'......page 44 in case you need to know (lol)

This photograph of my youngest always makes me smile.  It was one of those where I was trying to take a quick snapshot and she kept heading straight for the camera till we were practically nose to nose!  Hence the idea for this page.

A fairly simple layout really,  3 layers of patterned paper (Fancy Pants) stitched together with the photograph between.

I hit the jackpot when I found these alpha's from The Girls Paperie sitting in my stash.  Added some covered chipboard to the page together with tulle and a button.

I'll be back next week with something to show you (I hope!), so till then, have a great weekend and I'll see you soon,
