Wedding Special

I try to be a girl of my word so, here it is, a photo of the Keepsake Kollection Wedding Special I promised you.

I love these frames, theyre a nice big size (A3) with a deep enough recess to make a striking feature of the memories from any special event.

Here the bride's garter has been put under glass (instead of in her knicker drawer!) and a real box of confetti is raining down on the happy group!...

...and I hope this close up side-view of the wedding party gives you just an idea of how the photograph can be brought to life using careful cutting and layering techniques - believe me, with this many people in the shot, it takes some doing! But its a labour of love and the finished effect is well worth the effort.

...until next time, make your life a labour of love! x Hippy Chick!

Traditions Craft Fair, Preston - 23 February 10am-4pm

Just a reminder that we'll be appearing at the Traditions Craft Fair this Saturday 23 February at the Lostock Hall Community High School, Todd Lane North, Lostock Hall, Preston (PR5 5UR if you're entrusting your journey to a sat nav!). Thank you to Lindsay from Foolish Friends who's organised the crafters for this event, I'm really looking forward to it!

I'll be bringing along my first Keepsake Kollection Wedding Special to show everyone on Saturday. These are the BIG recessed frames (imagine A3 size and you're pretty much there) which can take not only my multi-layered 3D photograph designs but real keepsakes from the day, making them an extra-special gift for the bride & groom - or their attendants - or their parents - after the big day

....if the lighting's right tomorrow, I'll post a photo of this first sample so you can see it, just in case you can't get to Preston to see it in the flesh. If you havent already, please register for your FREE email subscription, then I'll email you as soon as it's here

...until next time, make today your special day!
