40 jaar...ja wat kan ik daarover zeggen. Het klinkt zo oud!! Vroeger waren vrouwen van 40 toch al oude mevrouwen? Gelukkig voel ik me nog niet zo. Meestal maken we geen foto's met een verjaardag, maar vorig jaar wel bij deze mijlpaal.
Voor de challenge van Scrap The Girls vond ik deze foto daarom ook zo goed passend!

Omdat ik scrap op A5 formaat, vond ik het wat overdreven om 16 rondjes te doen, dus ik heb gekozen voor 9 rondjes. Eigenlijk 8, want die onder de foto zie je toch niet. Onder de foto heb ik nog 2 strookjes washitape met een zilver-wit patroon geplakt. Om het af te maken, nog een paar nietjes in 2 rondjes gedaan, een kleine label onder de foto en de tekst Hoera erbij gestanst.
40 years already! Where have the time been? Women of 40 used to be sooo old, thankful I don't feel that old. Usealy we don't make photo's at birthdays, but last year we did with this milestone.
For the challenge of Scrap the Girls this was the picture to use! Only, what to do with the background? I started out real colourfull and with a lot of stamps, but it didn't turn out as I imagend. And then I thought, I just go along with the flow. What do I really want on my scrap? That became the cupcake of Marianne Design. And then I looked at pink papers, because I like pink. Then I looked at the challenges and the one from My Creative Scrapbook was the one to use. For the background I have used a designpapier from Noor Design with a wood-design. Then I took my Gelliplate Student and Pink Raspberry Distress Ink and made a square on the wood. The script and poststamps really comw out of the papier now. I didn't want a motive in the gelliplate, because the front would be busy already.
Because I scrap at A5 format, I have chosen not to use 16 circles but 9, well 8 accually. The one under the picture would be hidden anyway. Underneath the photo I tapes 2 straps of washitape with silver-white lining. And to finish off, some staples in 2 circles, a lable and the word Hooray.
