I found a photo of me in one of my old files that I'd printed (properly, in a darkroom, when I still had that luxury!) with the aim of framing - but times have changed, so I decided to scrap it instead. It's a particular favourite - I've still got the bike, seven years later and we've done a lot of happy miles since then.
This is me on my beloved Triumph, having done a not too slow lap of the TT course on the Isle of Man in 2001.
I wanted to do a layout that combines quite a blokish lifestyle with the fact that I am actually not a fella! Hence the purple spangly bits mixed up with a spanner...
The paper is Old World from DCWV, as is the title lettering rub-on. The white swirl is Wholy Cow from Basic Grey (had to get some in there!), the purple swirlies on the photograph and silver ones on the black squares at the bottom are stamped (Autumn Leaves elegant flourishes). The little spanner is Karen Foster, and the Triumph lettering in the box is from Papermania. The Celtic thing is an old pendant, and as for the keys, I photographed the bike key, and printed it on shrink plastic to make a mini set. Oh, and the jumbo bookplate is Basic Grey too. Think that's it!
