Lovely Yellow (not) continued.....

I really got into these pages, maybe because I used lots of different mediums, which is what I do on my cards and mini books. This close up shows the curled up edges of the paper, a technique shown to me by Tracey at Running With Scissors. Normally I use the Tim Holtz paper ripper to distress the edges of my papers, but on the above I tore out a circle shape, wet it with a baby wipe then curled it over. I chalked the edges when it had dried.

I ended up doing two 'SISTER' pages, one of me and my sister Angela, shown here, and another of my two girls, Gina and Faye, on the next photo. I made the pages, 'the same but different' tp compliment each other as a two page spread.

I drew around a Bazzill shaped paper, added the dots with a white marker, then chalked just inside the shape to add a bit of interest, then simply added the flowers and pearls. The sentiment was stamed and rounded off with a corner rounder.

The same principal again, minus the chalking inside the shape. The centre of the flowers are a couple of serendirity pieces I made a few weeks ago.

Was that quick enough Polly lol, sorry everyone a private joke!! I have someone stalking my blog ha ha ha. Enjoy!

Great pages Sue, love the curly bits! And the chalky bits! You obviously got "on a roll" doing a double page spread! But there's more story to tell when you have a sister isn't there?

Beautiful pages Sue, I like the way they are both similar but each have their own personality, just like sisters I guess XXX
