Lady Rose Wedding Layouts

Hi there!
 I have  a couple of Layouts using the lovely Lady Rose Collection from Kaisercraft up on the Artfull Crafts Blog today - thought I would share them here as well.

For this Layout I have used the latest sketch from Creative Scrappers.....


 I have just used  one photo and have hidden the journalling behind it. The Lady Rose papers I have used are all from the Paper pad so the patterns are smaller than the 12x12 papers, but I rather like that when I use a lot of patterned papers together.
I have used my Epiphany Punch to make the round button and added some pearl flourishes for some bling!

For this layout I just put the patterned papers randomly behind the photo for a more informal look.
I cut out the title using my Silhouette Cameo.
That's my daughter - Leanne- on the left! The 'girls ' looked absolutely gorgeous! I loved how  the dresses were different - 2 of each style and colour.

Finally here is a card I have made based on the above sketch using some of the leftovers! I think a sketch is great if you can use it for both a layout and a card - I will definitely keep this one to use again.


Happy Creating!

Tea Party Card Set

Hi there
Today I have a set of 4 cards in a box to show you......

Here are the 4 cards...

All have the sentiment 'for you' on them.
Here is the box to keep them in....

I have cut out the box using a SVG file from A Paper Hut on my Silhouette Cameo. This was so easy to put together and I could just resize it so my 4x4 cards would fit it perfectly!
I love to make card sets to give as gifts - I wonder who will get this??

Gorgeous day here so I am off out into the garden to tackle the weeds! Did you know weeds are only unwanted plants!

Enchanted Ella Cards

Hi there.
Here are a couple of cards  to share with you...

 

I coloured in the Inkling - Enchanted Ella, with my Copics and fussy cut her out. She is a wee sweetie! Layered her up on the cards with patterned paper from Kaisercraft's Enchanted Garden Collection.  Have embellished the cards with a key and some leaf pins from Papervine - I added some beads to the leaf pins to jazz them up a bit!

Project Life for my Dad's 100th

Hi there
I have been doing a bit of PL scrapping lately and before I show it to you I thought I would show you how I used Project Life as a gift for my Dad.
Last year on May 13 my Dad turned 100!  So I included in his party invites to his family and friends some 4x6 & 3x4 PL cards. I asked everyone  to bring a 4x6 photo of themselves and to write a small note on the cards - a memory or something they wanted to tell him! They then had to either send it back to me or bring it to the party!
At the party I had my daughter, Leanne, & niece, Louise, put everyone's cards and photos into the pocket pages as guests arrived. I had it divided into sections - family, relations, friends etc.

This is the title page

 The Birthday Boy!

He absolutely loves it!  I filled in any gaps with photos taken at the party. Birthday cards I put into the envelope pages at the back of the album. I kept it very simple - no embellishing! It was such an easy way to gather and display these special memories.

He loves looking through it and showing everyone when they come to visit!

Fussy Cutting

Hi there!
I am excited! I have learn't how to fussy cut with my Silhouette Cameo!

This little cutie is Marci with a bunny from La-La Lands Crafts. They have rubber and digital stamps.
She brings back memories of when I was a little girl and had a white pet rabbit called Priscilla!
Any way I found this great tutorial on how to fussy cut around digital stamps with the Silhouette Cameo from Narelle at The Non-Crafty Crafter.
I am so thrilled to be able to do this! I have a pet hate of fussy cutting with scissors!
I have coloured her in  with my Copics and made the background with dies  -The fence, tree and grass -from My Favorite Things.  The sentiment is on a Spellbinders diecut. The patterned paper is Kaisercraft's Enchanted Garden from Artfull Crafts.

Fisherman Fred

Hi there!
Back with another Inkling - Fisherman Fred...

I had to make a bookmark for Millie's brother, Zac, too!  He is a keen fisherman so Fred was most appropriate to go on his bookmark! I cut him(Harry not Zac!) out with a Spellbinders oval die and put him on a Labels 10 diecut, which I gave a wood effect to, using a Kaisercraft stamp. Some black washi tape from Papervine to embellish. Love the tape measure one - being a fisherman he might need higher numbers to measure the fish with though!
