Hi everyone, I need to get this layout posted here PRONTO so that I don't miss the deadline for the Get Picky challenge over here. I am coming back though, as & when, to do another post with a "how to" as I photographed the page "being built", etc, etc...and lots of yummy close-ups! But for now, let me off will ya, 'cos to be in it to win it I have to link up NOW :)
I have A LOT to say about this layout so I am coming back, believe me! To understand how I came up with it you need to see the inspiration photograph here
How could I possibly not enter?! With my history in fashion design it was a no-brainer that of course I would rise to the challenge! BUT I really thought I had missed the deadline...Unfortunately (well fortunately in other respects) you all know that I have had a lot going on this month, what with my surgery & then getting on to 4 design teams in a month (believe me when I applied for them all I didn't expect to get them ALL!!!) so my heart was pretty heavy at the thought of missing out...
Then I thought, y'know, that picture is too good not to download & save to my desktop inspiration file, so I clicked in there to do just that & guess what??? Well, as you can see...I had a late night last night...and the reason I'm so late to get it up here to photograph? Well, I got the kids all off to school, came home & did the "urgent stuff" then lay down on my bed with a tub of hummus & some pita chips and....well, let's just say I took a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitle nap!!!
Woke up with a bit of a fright & kiddies to collect from all over the place, did all that & here we are!!! -
ENJOY!!!
