My first layout for 2013. Hard to believe it is already February. Last year we visited the Blarney Castle in Co. Cork Ireland. It is such a magical place and I was eager to kiss the legendary Blarney Stone, which I did. I figured I needed some "eloquence". Hanging over the edge backwards took a bit of shimmying and stretching of the neck and puckering of the lips...I was so thankful there was an attendant to hold your legs so you didn't slip through the bars to the ground below. It was all well worth it and another thing crossed of my bucket list.
I used the Kaisercraft Marigold collection with some old Prima pp's. The bridge is from Scrapmatts and the branch is also Scrapmatts...cut from a larger branch. Some lace and other old bits and pieces from my stash and some wild looking hand stitching.
Thankyou so much for stopping by and taking a peek. Your visits are always appreciated! Hugs :)
