UNIFORM AND HOLY ISLAND

Morning all, sharing some more layouts this morning.  The first one is a piece of art textile created by prisoners of war from their uniform, it can be seen hanging in Bamburgh Castle and really is the most intricate work of art made up of tiny pieces.

It was a thank you from the prisoners for their good treatment, an amazing piece of documented history. 


Then two shots of Holy Island (aka Lindisfarne), the first is the causeway across to the island - always an amazing journey.  The second is a of the large statue inside the priory. 


Hope you are having a happy scrapping day!

LAUGH, DAY OUT AND BOOKS

Morning all, well the week is fair tripping along at the moment, which is good although lots to do.  A mix of three very different layouts this morning.  First up said 15 year old and niece checking out the stocks at Bamburgh Castle


A trip to Holy Island on our jaunt to Northumberland led to a stop off for a drink and a natter


And finally visiting Barter Books - a place you could lose yourself in every day with the amount of books there are to go at! 


Hope you have a great Wednesday

Wednesday - My Men, Audrey and Holy Island Print

Morning all, well I had great fun with these layouts, I popped a kit together using a colour inspiration challenge, but didn't include lots of the other things so it ended up just a colour kit as it were.  I really enjoyed the pop of black as it isn't something I would have done with this scheme myself but feel it really works! 

This photo was taken at Brodsworth Hall earlier in the year, I use a couple of phone apps to create the white border before I sent it off for printing, I'm loving the square photos at the moment.  Obviously a photo of hubby and said 15 year old! 


Next up you can see the simple addition of glossy accents to the black cardstock makes all the difference sometimes.  The photo is of my Mum winding up my niece when she found 'the' book in the famous Barter Book Store, much to my nieces dismay!  The two of them were in wind up mode and we ended up in fits of laughter! 


And finally a piece of art work we found in the church next to the priory on Holy Island. Done in a Project Life style using up lots of elements of the kit I'd put together


Hope you are having a grand day!
