Hey Dude

I would love to show you the card I created for the July DT for Scrap the Boys New card challenge.

The sketch below is the challenge for July

 So with this sketch I created this card, I chose to stick to stars because the main challenge over at Scrap the Boys is about using stars.

Here are a few close ups of my card...

I have scraplifted from Kirei Baldwin, I have seen a layout of hers using half stars with different PP behind them.  I asked her permission back when I saw the layout to scraplift it.  I cut half a star with my craft knife, I scored a line to be able to fold back the star.

I chose a flair with 'Dude' on as part of my sentiment and I stamped 'Hey' to complete it. I am sending this to two very cool dudes, my nephews, Isaac and Nathaniel.

I used light blue enamel dots to highlight the stars and white background. 




I hope you like what I have created.

Sherlock III: a New Case - Spread the Word

Sherlock III: a New Case -

Spread the Word

Hello everyone, popping in to the blog today to show you some cards I created with this beautiful collection!

All the cards are using the A4 pages, cutting out the most beautiful elements on the pages to make the centrepiece of each card.

This card uses the ink pot as the inspiration, I have added the pen nib and the sentiment "Spread the word" to create a writers theme.  The organza ribbon tied in beautifully with the vintage photo ink around the background paper.

This card has such a beautiful background paper that I left it so simple with a mink/taupe organza ribbon and the muted rhinestones from the diamond sheet, available at the website.

This card has such a detailed background paper that all I needed to do was ink the edges with vintage photo ink and add a sentiment.  I used "Time is a storyteller" because the paper looks like a collection of someone's belongings.  I added jute twine to the tag I created.

This card uses the top of one of the A4 collection papers and the postcard is a green text so I used a green backing card, embellishing the card with the green velour flower trim and an organza ribbon bow.  I have added sage green rhinestones from the emerald sheet.

All of these items can be purchased at Meg's Garden store.

Hope you have enjoyed seeing my card creations today.

Take care

Muddy Lace Dress

I wanted to share with you a special layout of my wedding.

This is one of my favourite photos from my wedding day and I have used Meg's products to make this photo sing, as you'll see.

 

When I saw this lace PP from Meg's Garden, I knew I wanted to use it on something special.

 

Have a look and tell me what you think...

 

 

I have combined the lace PP with a plain kraft cardstock.  Stamped a script along the side and white embossed the stamping to stand out. I backed my photo with a frame of black cardstock and then used a script PP to tie in the lace PP with the plain background.  The script PP is from Midsummers Night Dream, a tale of love stories.  I used tulle from Meg's goodies and I added a touch of my own lace along the photo to tie together the PP and my dress in the photo.

 

 

And the cluster of embellishments are all from Meg's Garden bundle of goodies.  I started with the sheer organza white ribbon, then I place the cluster of paper flowers, I have used white and ivory as the layout has a mix of both in the PPs.

 

 

I have used a satin seamed organza ribbon near the cluster to soften the flowers edge.

 

Using the Branch with Flowers die in an ivory pearlescent cardstock I have framed the photo over the organza ribbon.

 

 

I have used the single flower that you get with the die to place a few blossoms around the page.  I have used the diamond rhinestones around the organza ribbon for a touch of sparkle.

 

 

With the suggestion from my friend Mary Bennetts I have written along the bottom

 

"When your heart is so happy, it doesn't matter if your lace dress is muddy..."

 

 

 
It's perfect because I love this picture, as I have no worries in the world at this moment in time.  I love my muddy wedding dress, it was a beautiful day walking through the vineyards with the man I love.

 

Hope you've enjoyed sharing in my creation with Meg's beautiful products, be sure to pop along to the website to look at her stunning collections.
