British Grand Prix 2012

Today was such a perfect day..... no I'm not going to break into song, honest.  I was home alone, it was quiet and peaceful so I did a bit of housework and then flitted in and out of my craft room all day, bliss.  Today I completed this layout about our weekend at the British Grand Prix a couple of weeks back.  I used a kit I got for a cyber crop recently but didn't get around to using.  I thought the flags would emphasize that the grand prix was British and the grid paper would be perfect to blend in with the envelope that our tickets came in as that has a grid effect on the front and I think it looks great as it has a McLaren driver on the front, our favouite team.  Once I'd stuck the ticket envelope down there wasn't a great deal of room for photos so I made the curved shape, a bit like a race track and added a few photos.  I added some journalling and I was then left looking at the empty space in the bottom corner which was quite ugly and definately needed something to fill it.  I decided that it would be fun to add some printed images of stills from the McLaren Animation cartoons that are being played in the run up to each grand prix.  I love how they have made Jenson (drool) look like a surfer dude and Lewis looks about twelve!  They filled the gap nicely and finished off the layout.
