Winter Wonderland Candle Holder

Handmade wintery candle holder made out of a recycled bottle and Radiant Neon Amplify! in white by Terre Fry.

Never Forget

Ground Zero

by Terre Fry

Two-page scrapbook layout by Terre Fry made after her visit to Ground Zero during the building of the new One World Trade Center and the 9-11 Memorial.

This will be a day in history that no American will ever forget. I visited New York on a work assignment, and my goal was to visit Ground Zero to say a prayer and pay my respect for those who lost their lives on that horrible day. The memorial and the rebuild were in process and I remember standing there chilled to the bone and weeping for the loss, for the families and for our Country. God Bless Our Country! Hard to believe it was 15 years ago. It would be wonderful to go back and see the completed One World Trade Center and Memorial.

Directions

2016_sep_tf_911_step1

Step 1

Using Creative Medium Metallic Silver and Brick Wall stencil, apply creative medium in different areas around two pages. Allow time for this to dry completely.

2016_sep_tf_911_step2

Step 2

Using Delicata Shimmery Silver pigment ink, distress both layouts to reflect an industrial feel by simply rubbing the ink pad directly across the layout.
