"The Gentleman's Club"



Welcome back and a big hello. Today I am very excited to share with you my very first layout for the Fabscraps Fabulicious Design Team using The Gentleman's Club Collection. Yay!

This photo has been sitting in my wedding box for so long, so I am also so very happy to be using it. These four men are a big part of my life. Of course my husband (centre) his brother to the left and his best buddy and partner in crime to the right and my gorgeous boy, Hayden sitting on his knee. But boy doesn't time fly so fast. Hayden is soon to turn 15!! 

So scroll on down and see all the close-ups with a materials list and detailed instructions.


Some Close-ups.........


Chipboard title has been covered with liquid pearls (gold pearl) and randomly inked and then covered with crackle accents. Awesome effect for a vintage styled layout.


Used the same technique on the pocket watch which I tucked into the notebook along with some rusted cogs and tickets from Gentleman's Club Journal Book. Lots of nice little bits and pieces in this book.


The notebook was also cut from the Journal Book. I have distressed it and folded it up. Tied a piece of jute around and old button.


Have used a clock sticker from The Gentleman's Club Stickers and adorned it with a cabochon.


This chipboard Hot Air Balloon is just awesome. Covered it also with a precut piece from The Gentleman's Club Journal Book.



Well I hope you have enjoyed this. Let me know what you thought! 
Remember to keep scrolling for the Materials List and Instructions.

Thanks for visiting and I hope to see you again here soon.
