This week at Magnolia Down Under Challenges we're asking you to use newsprint somewhere on your creation. Now you can just use it in place of DP for some interest but I went a more literal route - I have a habit of doing that - LOL. I googled "newspaper articles" and discovered this article on the sinking of the Titanic. Now this isn't the happiest of stories I know - but it's a story that has always fascinated me - and not just because I think Leonardo DiCaprio is pretty hot - LOL. A distant relative of mine was a steward on the Titanic and went down with the ship - so I have a personal interest too!
I printed the article out and distressed it a little before adding a picture I found on the net too. This Tilda was just the perfect choice to be shouting out the headlines on the street corner and a touch of old lace I found in an Op Shop added to the period charm.
Now I know there's all sorts of FABULOUS news inspired projects by the DT over at MDUC - so why don't you pop over HERE and check them out, and then come along and join in the fun!!!

I was doing the blog hop above and noticed this card and had to comment. I too have always been fascinated by the Titantic. They have a wonderful exhibit here in TN where we are visiting now. So this card is perfect! I love the use of Tilda and the background. Brillant idea.
