Watercolours in Blue Layout by Kelly-ann

Hello again...

I'm back today to share another layout I've just finished using Meg's Watercolours in Blue paper range. 

Blue is my oldest daughters favourite colour so this collection was perfect to use to scrap this photo of her... I've also used several ribbons, laces and trims ... 

all of which can be found in the ribbons and trims section of Meg's Online Store.

  

I've made this layout using the following papers ... again all of which you can pick up over on the 

Meg's Garden Website in the 12 x 12" paper section :)

   

Thanks for popping by for a look.

Cheers from Kelly-ann

Upcycled gift bag with Rose Quartz

Hello again, Kelly-ann Oosterbeek here today with an upcycled gift bag ...

 this project is a very quick and easy one, and is super handy for getting together 

a really special gift bag for a really special occasion ... and best of all,

 for the base you can just use any old gift bag you may have been hanging onto :)

So this is what it looks like after I've attacked it with the Rose Quartz Collection...

And this is how we got there ...

This was the gift bag I started with ... it was made of nice thick cardboard 

so perfect to support all the embellishments I wanted to stick onto it :)

Next I cut out a cardstock base to both sides...

Then I added lace and washi tape to the edges...

Then I started adding the Rose Quatrz papers and some flowers ...

Then I just kept going with the embellishments from the Rose Quartz Collection...

I finished with some bling and butterflies and 

stuck the two sides to the sides of the gift bag using some really study glue.

And that's it! :)

 Thanks for popping by the blog today.

The Generous Chantilly Cream Collection...

Hi It's Kelly-ann Oosterbeek here today to share with you a project I did recently that's very close to my heart ...

My 16 year old daughter has recently become very charismatic about supporting the A21 organisation.... this is a non-profit organisation who believes that we can help end human trafficking together.

Human trafficking fuels the growth of organised crime, undermining health, safety, security and the basic needs of humanity ... and it's the fastest growing crime in the world today!!

I told my daughter I would do my best to help out in any way I could ... but as a busy mum with 6 kids, I'm not time-rich when it comes to having hours to devote to fundraising ....

BUT I DO HAVE FRIENDS :)

I talked to the girls in my scrapbooking/crafty group who all said they would be happy to donate whatever loose change they had in their purses each time we got together.

So my only challenge then was to come up with a special donation tin we could use ... and thanks to Meg's Garden and her beautiful Chantilly Cream Collection that task was a very quick and easy one :)

Here's a step by step breakdown of how I made this 'donation tin' out of a Pringles chip tube :)

 

Step One  = Eat Chips ( this is an added bonus  step :) lol

Step 2 = Grab your Chantilly Cream Paper Pack and Embellishments...

Step 3 = Stamp and use stickers to get your message on the paper BEFORE you stick it on...

Step 4 = Put Glue EVERYWHERE and stick on the A4 sheet

Step 5 = Add trim to the top and bottom edges...

Step 6 = add embellishments EVERYWHERE ;)

Step 7 = Cut out an image and stick inside the clear lid...

Step 8 = watch your SPARE change turn into WORLD change xo

Thanks for following all the way to the end of this epic blog post!!

Why not make a donation tube yourself that your own groups of friends can use to help effect change in the world ... every act of goodwill counts in the world these days :)

If you would like more information about the A21 Organisation just follow THIS LINK :)

And remember to pick up all the supplies you will need at the Meg's Garden WEB SITE.
