A wine drinker's heaven

Italy.
Piemonte.
Barolo.

Do I need to say more?

Some times themed/ photo papers work out on layouts (why do I keep buying them, when I find them difficult to use?)!

Background paper: Paper House Design. Other papers: unknown Alpha: American Crafts. Corrugated word: Jillibean Soup. Wood weener words: Becky Higgins for American Crafts. Chipboard: unknown

Close up of cluster (and wine)

The background paper is bought recently, but the other must be 7-8 years old. 

The design is taken from the April 15th sketch at Stuck?! Sketches

It might be hard to recognize the sketch because of the image of the big wine bottle on the background paper, but it's there, just have a look - layers, cluster and title *lol*

Thank you for stopping by - your visit means a lot to me!

Friends: Cliff, Guiness & I

Guess where we are, the hubby & I ?

Yepp, that's correct: Dublin, Ireland. June 2014. You can't go to Dublin for the first time without visiting Guinness, the famous brewery!


I got the idea for this layout when I saw the October Challenge from Scrapfriends, three scrappers who cooperate about challenges - you can pick either one of them or combine two or three. I did all three.

Let's start with the sketch from Brenda:

I followed the sketch pretty close with just a few adjustments to make it my own.

Then Rochelle has a Tic-Tac-Toe board to inpire you:

I chose the horizontal line on top - here is some details to prove it :-)

Die cut & camera:

More die cuts & paper clip:

There are die cuts scttered all over this layout.

Finally, Kelly is throwing a word challenge

I picket the word Friends and used it as the title on my layout.


OK, Guinnes is a tourist trap, I knew it before we went there, but it was still interesting to see the beer making process! Do you visit tourist traps, too?
