Meh.

Time - This afternoon, 

Situation : Serious Scrap Fail.

Ok Well I drooled over Mels dt work for Artastic, and thought that I might actually finally give it ago.

So we had to use the painting for inspiration, and the three "diva demands" were

1. Playing Cards
2. Shades of Brown
3. Feather
   

 And It had it all. Until I looked at it and it sucked. Big time. Stank the whole room up. 

So I got my scissors ( actually I lie, mine were in the dining room, and its all the way down the hall so I was using green alligator safety scissors) and cut it up.  And then re did it all. And this time — well the shades of brown are more like, well, hints of shades of brown.

Playing Cards

Feather ( the flame of the candle)

And if you look really closely you can see behind the title and the Cooper bunting, you can see some of the original brown ( RIP pink paislee, I promise you did not die in vain)

I love some elements of this layout, just not as a whole. Though I think with a bit more reworking it may work. But I have had enough of this layout for one day. I thinks its the journaling block....... thats bugging me the most at the moment. hmm maybe some strip journaling......, hmm maybe some..........

ok I fixed it - new photo tomorrow.

Ps 2 posts and another layout only made possible with thanks to my beautiful Boys who played happily with their friend and my wonderful kook, Mum would like to thank you for your extra long nap today!
