Right Royal Celebration

When I saw this post about restructured Paper over at Gingersnaps Creations I just knew I had to have a go at this. Inspired by the Red Letter Day challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show I gathered scraps of paper in red, white(ish) and Blue and made a collage sheet.   
  My Red Letter Day is Jubilee Day. Not only is it a celebration for the UK (and an extra Bank Holiday!) it is also the day I met my Other Half - so this year's Jubilee will be our ten year anniversary.
After creating the background and waiting overnight for it to dry (not easy I tell you - I'm an impatient crafter!!) I added a photo and some Royal/Romantic elements to represent the joint occasion.
  
As well at the Challenge at SSS&S I'm sharing this here -

Thanks for visiting..Esther xx

    Fun - love your idea of creating the background with lots of bits of paper - but I would agree - the hardest part would be waiting for it to dry. Chantell
