The page above, entitled "Lucky Find," is about Shadow, the homeless kitty that my husband rescued from an animal shelter. Shadow is no longer with us, but she brought fourteen years of love and happiness to our family. She was definitely a lucky find!
I based my page on the March 15 sketch from "Stuck?! Sketches." I also used the threefold criteria from Berry71Bleu's "Luck of the Irish" challenge: to use a lot of green, include the word "lucky" and add lace/doilies. Here are a couple detail shots:
 |
| To get the doily look behind the photo, I misted over a large metal charm. I love repurposing household objects as stencils and masks! |
 |
| I thought the metal charm in the center of my layout resembled a clover. If a 4-leaf clover is lucky, then a 5-leaf clover (like my charm) must be really, really lucky, right? :) |
The color green has been on my mind for awhile now, because of St. Patrick's Day. It was fun to finally make a green layout, just in the nick of time before the end of the month. Thanks for stopping by my blog to see my "Lucky Find" today!
ETA: Yay, my page got an Honorable Mention at Berry 71 Bleu. Thanks, Marivic & Co.!

Чудесная страничка Дениз! жаль, что вашей кошки больше нет)))
Снег и у нас был 10 дней назад, теперь все растаяло, но все еще холодновато. Хотя весна в этом году наступает раньше обычного. Конечно, уже хочется лета, зима надоела, хотя была не очень суровой)))
Спасибо за отзыв! Почему у девушки маска?... я выбрала эту картинку, потому что она напоминает мне о Чернобыле (мы жили в "чернобыльской зоне" до переезда в Петербург)
This is so beautiful! I love everything about it, so glad you joined us at Stuck?!
I love how you misted the background! Beautiful layout! Thanks for playing along with Stuck?!
Denise, I think your son's request is adorable. How fabulous that he is contributing to the documentation of your family history and helping preserve the memories that are important to him at this point in his life.
Fab take on the sketch. Like all the layers and textures. Best of luck in the challenges.:)
What a sweet page this is! A 5-leaf clover has to be more luck than a 4-leaf, or a shamrock - I agree!
Beautiful color combo and beautiful page.
Gorgeous page with such pretty layering! I think my family enjoys looking at our albums. Especially Erin. But I don't usually get requests.
so beautiful page for a adorable cat...
