"Window" Double layout - Helena Johansson

Hi everybody!

 Today I have something unique to share - my very first double layout.

Yes, it's true, I have been scrapbooking for over 7 years and just made my first double!

 

I had so much fun creating this, but I also struggled a bit trying to get the

two pages to go well together.

 

I have worked with Maja Designs beautiful Autumn Vintage Basic collection,

 and of course lots and lots of amazing Dusty Attic chipboard.

 

 

Something I rarely do on my layouts: journaling. For this doublepager I wrote a

 few sentences, since I had so much more space than I'm used to :)

 

I painted all the Dusty Attic chipboard with white gesso, and then I inked with

 pewter ink here and there.

 

And now I have lots of more close-ups for you. You will find a complete list of the

Dusty Attic product used in the bottom of this post.

 

Dusty Attic Products used:

 

Window Flower box (DA0987)

Window with Shutters (DA0792)

Ivy Corners (DA1018)

OhMyGoodness - it was a blast and a half

AWESOME Venue

(could not fault one little thing)

AWESOME Food

AWESOME Scrapping Space

AWESOME Classes

but most of all

AMAZING AWESOME LADIES  !! 

 

I am amazed that we all stayed still long enough

 to have our "proper photo" taken

THEN ....

Add some props from our photobooth session

and say "Now for some silly photos"

THIS happens .... 



 

 I love that you can "see" the Laughter and great time we had

 

 

We have already booked in for our retreat

for 2015 and 2016 !!!

 

I will be back soon with some photos of

layouts from the Sketch that Nadia from

"once upon a sketch" provided for us

(It was so HARD to choose a winner and you will be able to see why !!!)
