January Crop

At last, enough daylight to take pictures of the pages we did at the crop yesterday. I was quite pleased about the theme of them as luckily the photos I had taken along were quite appropriate. The instructions for the layouts left a bit to the imagination as they were by a Polish designer so there is a little 'artistic interpretation' going on! Believe it or not, these pages were made from paper that was originally Christmas themed but a bit of cutting and trimming and careful alteration, we made two very un-Christmassy pages. It never ceases to amaze me how a room of 20 ladies following the same instructions can come up with such differing pages, it's amazing how different photos can completely alter the look of the page.

I think my favourite bit of the 'Angel' page is the gold wire with crystals twisted into it that we bent to make a circular frame around the photo. But I also loved the little pearl and gold pins that went through the red ribbon. I liked the wording on the journalling bit on the other page which reads: magic is believing in yourself. If you can do that, you can make anything happen. That wasn't supposed to be on there, but I noticed it on an offcut of paper that we weren't using for the layout and decided to make it part of my page.
