Eighteen

Jimjams - Layout - embellishment cluster, altered chipboard alphas Child No.3 turned eighteen last year and she  celebrated with her three BFFs in Manchester.  I drove them to a temporary ice-rink before they hit the shops for some retail therapy, followed by a meet-up with another group of celebrants in the nightclubs.

I love that they wanted to do something as fun as this before getting glammed up to hit the town ... and let me hang around to take some photos (and pay for the Dunkin' Donuts afterwards!).
Jimjams - Layout - Eighteen

The page is based on the May sketch from Purple Pumpkin (reflected, title and "journalling" swappped) and uses plenty of layers (colours, papers, photos) in line with the Wear Crafts {I}NSD layering challenge.

Supplies are (mostly) from my May Counterfeit Kit ... I even used some of the fibres!  Extras included the base cardstock, a Simple Stories Bingo card, some BG plain chipboard alphas, eyelets and a LOT of pink glitter glue.  I even used it to fill the eyelet holes back up again!

P.S. S J Crafts has free postage on orders over £15 this weekend!

P.P.S. Anyone else watching the Eurovision Song Contest tonight?  One day I really must scrap about the time it ruined my house-warming party!

    What a fun way to spend a birthday! Great colour combo and fab idea to fill the eyelet holes in with glitter glue.

    Sounds like a pretty great way to spend a birthday. Ah, fibres! I wonder how many cards of those I have tucked away from those early days when I bought what I *thought* I needed!

    What a lovely way to record the day. I love the design of this page with the photos on that central bit, and the glitter glue. You have to have sparkle for an icy eighteenth!

    A lovely page, Jemma! A really nice memento of a special celebration. It is nice that your daughter and her friends went out and did something fun together, besides the obilgatory night-clubbing!
    Love the pink glitter and the line of fluffy fibre across the page.

    This is such a lovely layout, I wouldn't be surprised if you get asked to produce it for each of the girls as a memento of the event
