PL JUNKIES - DT post #2

Hey there Junkies Lydia here to share my Layout.
This weeks layout was when we were on holidays in Port Macquarie NSW Australia so it was a big week with 2 6x8 inserts.

For theses layouts I used all most of the Maggie Holmes Open Book collection except for the card with the red arrow and the card with the red scollop banner which are both from the Happy Core Kit. I did put the photos in order as that is what I do most weeks.

My most favourite part of this layout is the top of the Left spread. This is a big post card the you fold in half that was at the reception of where we stayed. So I cut it in half so that it would fit in the 2 4x6 pockets and with those silver Thickers I added a title and I love how this turned out.

Title Card - I mentioned at the start I used mostly Maggie Holmes Open Book Collection which as gold in it but I really wanted to use these gorgeous silver Thickers.
I had seen a lot of people sewing on their PL cards lately (which I have always wanted to do), so I got my sewing machine out and sewed together layers of tissue paper and patterned paper. I also found the the sewing worked better if I didn't adhere the layers together before sewing.

As I used the silver Thickers I wanted to add some more silver as I had a lot of gold on the layout so I just added some staples to keep the thread from moving.

The first insert front and back is something I have always wanted to do and that I have ticket off my bucket list now.

The second insert (left side) is dedicated to a very special catch up with fellow PLJ Design Team member Amanda Horne. I also added a cute title card for my special catch up.

I hope you Junkies are enjoying all of awesome and gorgeous DT work and I look forward to sharing another layout soon.
