New year 1999: Layout by Sue Crease
Hello,
Today on the blog with this layout capturing memories from New Year's Eve 1999. We were at my sister's house with my parents, who are in the photos.
I have chosen this paper because I thought it looked a little like tartan and I didn't want anything overly festive. A full list can be found at the bottom of the page.
I started by trimming the paper down and distressing the edges. I decided to add stitching using black floss and deep red metallic thread, then I mounted it on to black Dotted Swiss paper. I then decided to add some rub-ons from Prima which you can add foil, floss or glitter to. I decided to add gold flake.
I took the heart chipboard from Dusty Attic and painted it with gold acrylic paint. You can tell I had already decided where my photos were going.

I matted my photos on to some red then on to more Dotted Swiss paper and added them on top of the hearts, slipping some spare bits of chipboard underneath for stability. I gathered flowers in similar colours to cluster around the photos.
I also added some rub-ons to the page as well as black and gold Nuvo drops.
The stamped sentiments are from a set from my personal stash. I also added some firework images because there were so many going off that night it would be rude not to!
You can just see one of the Christmas rub-ons I used here.
I had to add the 2000 flag and thankfully I had a nice number set to use. My Mum and Dad have both passed away now but I still love to use them on layouts. My dad would never be out without a tie and they would both dress up for a party.
Thanks for stopping. Take plenty photos throughout this new year and get them printed out so you can make lovely layouts too. Janine is sure to have a paper collection to match your event so pop in or go to shop webpage and browse from your armchair.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
Sue
