I'm really enjoying my gluebook - when I can get to it. So nothing like another challenge from Mary to get me "cutting and sticking". Her image this time is of Lady Randolph Churchill. Mary suggested we could find out more about LRC over at Wikipedia....well never throw a "research" challenge at a librarian is all I can say.....
...I did know some about LRC, including her interesting love life. So I thought I might be able to include some of the juicy gossip about her in my spread like the above...
But instead I actually found a pdf of her memoirs which is much more interesting to read. You can download for free (isn't the Internet grand!) The background paper is original - came in a packet from Beth a while back....Enjoy! Jewels
lovely! I really like how you have used the image of Lady Churchill against that background. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteWasn't she fascinating! I would love to sit down with her for tea...ok cocktails...so glad you contributed this gorgeous spread to the challenge!
ReplyDeleteoh my!! I love your gluebook!! So inspiring! Your pages with Lady Churchill are Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI did enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love the colourful background both on your pages and in her life.
I agree with Mary she would be an interesting person to share tea and cake with!

ReplyDeleteThis looks so colourful and I love the fact you did all that research. But then, I am a fellow librarian! Greet job!
ReplyDeleteOh so lovely...love the colors and the way you put a page from her memoirs into your creation. Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh yes! It's so right that a woman with such a rich, colourful life should have such a rich, colourful background! Perfect.I did some reading about her as well - quite a woman, though I don't know if I would have liked her particularly....... . Good to see you're doing the Collage Coterie class too, x
