Ireland...really?! This looks like the orient to me. lol..but seriously Ireland has a long standing fascination with the Orient so it works for me. We had visited the homeland several times over the years. And yes I still have family in County Clare. This last time we went and stayed on the east coast, Dublin area. Here I am at Powers Court. If you have ever seen the sequel to "Gone with the Wind" called "Scarlet" this is were they filmed one of the scenes.
I wanted this layout to have a 3-D feel to it. Giving the viewer a sense of walking through these magnificent gardens themselves.
Scrap Africa has a distress it with a difference challenge going on right now. So, I liked one of their ideas to use a grater for distressing the edges of the papers. This didn't work out so well for me. I ended up using the thumb nail for a greater effect!
Thank you for stopping by and seeing what the papers are saying today.
