I wish everyone a Happy New Year for 2015
Over at Crafting When We Can Challenges we have the wonderful
The winner will receive 3 images of their choice from the store.
We were kindly supplied with an image to use for this challenge and as soon as I saw this beautiful creature I knew just what I wanted to do with her. I coloured her using Sprectrum noir pens and then scanned her into the computer so I could add her to my scrap page. I have also used my CraftArtist software and the digi kits Fantasy Medieval for the background, Fairy Garden for the ivy, Fantasy Fairies for the frame.
I have had this photograph for about 11 years and I always wanted to do a scrapbook page but could never think of anything to use with it. This doorway is in the walled garden in Hillsborough Park in Sheffield. When my children were young we spent a lot of happy hours in this garden along with about 15 other children and their mums. There is a fountain with lots of snails and other creatures crawling in it. All the seats were around the fountain and from there we could watch the children playing together like a big family. There were never any arguments between friends (siblings yes but friends never). It has such happy memories for me and I still love visiting whenever I can. Hopefully our children's children can enjoy the same happy days there. Just in case you wondered the door leads to nowhere because the other side is unsafe it is bricked up and you can't tell from the other side that the door is there. It was always an enchanted door to another world and that is why it was overgrown to stop us getting through.
Some of the many original photos of the walled garden. A paradise for small children to play in.
I hope you've enjoyed seeing my project and it has given you some inspiration. Hop over to the CWWCC and leave us your anything but a card project.
