Today’s page celebrates some photos from our Anzac Day celebrations way back in 2010. I cut a piece of Designer Series Paper from the A Little Bit Festive 12″ x 12″ Designer Series Paper using the 1, 2, 3 layout from my first class. This pattern on the opposite side of this paper is very similar so I also cut a piece of Night of Navy 12″ x 12″ card using the same layout. This gave me enough paper to create two double page layouts, one of which I am sharing today. I embossed one 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece and two 1/2″ x 12″ of the Night of Navy card using the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder. I attached each of the 1/2″ x 12″ embossed strips of card across the bottom of two pieces of Basic White 12″ x 12″ card. I attached a 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece of Designer Series Paper above the Night of Navy card. I cut the 3-1/2″ x 12″ piece of embossed Night of Navy card at 7″ and attached the 7″ piece to the left page and the 5″ piece to the right page above the Designer Series Paper.

I cut one 1/2″ x 12″ strip of Designer Series Paper at 7″ and attached each of the narrow strips above the embossed Night of Navy panels. Some of my photos are attached to Basic White card and some to Night of Navy card before attaching them to the page. I printed my journaling onto Basic White card and stamped the image from the now retired Painted Poppies stamp set across the top. I used a Dark Real Red Stampin’ Blend to colour the image. I cut the title from Night of Navy card using the Alphabet A La Mode Dies and attached it across both pages.I stamped three flowers using the images from the Painted Poppies stamp set onto Basic White card using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I coloured the flowers using the Real Red Stampin’ Blends before cutting them out using the co-ordinating Painted Labels Dies (retired). I also stamped and coloured three single leaves and two multi-leaf images from the Painted Poppies stamp set onto Basic White card. I coloured the leaf images using Old Olive Stampin’ Blends. The single leaves are cut out using the co-ordinating Painted Labels Die. The multi-leaf images were fussy cut. I attached the flowers and leaves beside the title on the right hand page. The smaller flower is on dimensionals. I stamped the large greeting from the Autumn to Remember stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink. I cut out the image using one of the Nested Essential Dies. I stamped “a day to remember” from the retired Project Life Remember This stamp set onto Basic White card using Night of Navy ink and used the banner from the Iconic Imagery Dies to cut it out.
