LOVE ~ PARISIAN GARDENS RANGE

Hello Mary here to share some creating with Megs Gardens gorgeous range of papers and embellishments.
Firstly a layout from a range I truly love ~ Parisian Gardens. The papers are so pretty I really hate to cover them . Using some really old small photo's helps to solve this problem and keeping the page relatively simple.

I have had the little brass frames for ages , so decided to stagger them down the page with the narrow ribbon threaded through and cascading down the page also. For the middle frame I used a beautiful image from the cut and create sheet. The photo's are of my Mum and Dad and my aunt. To attach the frames I found Gel Medium was the best option. With the large fussy cut roses I placed them on foam squares to give dimension and then added green leaves to the roses

I have fussy cut quite a few images from the cut and create pages. The love Sentiment is cut from the cut and create page and shaded . I have used the oval filigree to attach the fussy cut images from. The large roses are fussy cut from the cut and create pages also.

I have added a little  antique pink lace under the top and bottom photo frames to add a touch of softness. I have used the little tags from the cut and create sheet at the side of my photos to add my documentation on .  All the products except the frames and heart chipboard piece can be found at Megs Store
Next I would like to share a card

I created the card with left over papers from the rose quartz range . I added the first layer of PP then  added the sheer green ribbon vertically down the page and placed another piece of pp over this.  I added a row of cream lace and a row of  antique pink lace under the  postcard image from the cut and create sheet. Behind the postcard image I have added another image and the Madame sentiment to add more layers.  I finished off by adding the filigree strip with a narrow ribbon bow and some pearl strips  and finally the fussy cut birds sitting on the branch .

I have been enjoying making these tags so much. This time I decided to make a masculine tag using the image and Monsieur word from the cut and create page.

My best friend is currently in hospital after having a double hip replacement, so I made a card to cheer her.

The background I have used  pieces of left over papers from layouts using Megs Gardens range of papers (nothing gets wasted ). I made a base using gesso, tissue paper , thread and mist to layer the images on. Lots of fussy cutting .I cut the centre from the Wreathe of flowers image and placed the Parisian lady underneath to show through. Fussy cut the two springs of flowers to place at the side, all are from the Cut and Create sheets. I added some Antique nylon Pink lace which is a little hard to see on the photo. On the opposite side I have the cream lace and Cream wide ribbon, which I have added the fussy cut decorative image upon. I then added a couple of  round silver Diamante Trim
Thank you for calling by , I hope you take some time to scroll through the blog for some amazing inspiration from the DT

PARISIAN GARDEN COLLECTION - GIFT TIN WITH COLLECTION OF GIFT CARDS

Welcome Bloggers,

Today I would love to share my latest creations.  I had been looking at a little white tin that my girlfriend had given me some time ago and wondering what I could use it for.  Meg's Garden new collection 'Parisian Garden' seemed perfect for what I had in mind.

I set about covering the tin

 With the tin completed, I then made up some gift cards.  Gosh I love this collection.  Truly amazing  and versatile for sure.

 This is the back of one of the gift cards.

I trust that you have enjoyed our little journey through Meg's gorgeous collection and that you have fun creating with this new 'Parisian Gardens' collection.  Until next time....happy scrapping....Liz

CHERISH ~ PARISIAN GARDENS

Hello Mary here to share a layout with the beautiful new range Parisian Gardens .
Oh my , when I opened the box I was in heaven &  literally could not wait to create with it. As I looked at each of the beautiful pages , I had ideas running through my head.
I did sit down and create a page that afternoon and busting to create more projects with this range when I get home from holidays.

Cherish

Once again I have kept my layout quite simple , as the papers are so beautiful , they don't need a lot of embellishment I feel.

I have fussy cut the music/ script/bird piece from the images on the cut and create sheet and inked it slightly with a blue shade. I made a tag from the image of the beautiful lady on the cut and create sheet  and embellished it with the gold butterfly charm , rosette and vintage trinket and lace
The Word Cherish I have used as my title and cut it from the cut and create sheet.
The only product not from Megs Garden is the Circle Chippy, all other products I have used you can find in Megs Store
Until next time
Happy Creating
Mary

A pretty little letter box set by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone. I would love to share with you a pretty little letter box I made.

I transformed a empty chocolate box into a useful gift for Christmas.

I am a bit old fashioned and still love to send and receive snail mail letters.

 The Spring Pastel papers from Megs Garden work really well with the silver and purple colours I chose. Don't be afraid to cut metal embellishments to suit you project. At the top of my box is the word Post Card and I cut a metal embellishment in half and stuck it either side of the words.

I added a little handle to the box which makes it easier to open.

I just love how these flowers pop when teamed with the silver bracken fern I spray painted.

Inside the letter box there are a few things I made for letter writing.

A pen with a little bottle of Dandelion seeds. The Dandelion seeds are there to remind you that you will always have time to write a letter.

When you open the little envelope I have placed some stamps ready for you to mail your letters.

I made three cards with envelopes to be used.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my letter box set.

A WINDOW IN TIME ~ VINTAGE JOURNAL RANGE

Hello Mary here , gosh the year is fast slipping away ! Today I would like to share a layout and card using the Vintage Journal Range.

A WINDOW IN TIME

I was inspired to create this layout by the image of the clock on the Pattern Paper, perfect for my photo of the clock window at the Musee D Orsay in Paris.

Image fussy cut from the Cut and create that I have added to the top of my photo. So many beautiful images from the cut and create, there is heaps of images to add to layouts and cards from one sheet.

Flowers , and the little gold butterfly are from Megs Shop as is the lace and postcard image that I have cut from the Cut and Create Images

I have used quite a bit of mix media on this layout, Megs products go with all styles. 

And now a masculine card , created with the Vintage Journal Range. Once again I have fussy cut images from the Cut and Create Paper and added organza ribbon and the inspire charm all from Megs Garden Shop.

Below a cut and create sheet, as you can see you get soooo many images on a sheet .

and my masculine card

I hope you have been inspired to visit  Megs Shop and create your own amazing projects.

Until next time , happy creating

4 SPECIALTY CARDS WITH ROSE QUARTZ COLLECTION - by LIZ HOCKING

Hello Bloggers,

Liz here with you today showcasing the wonderful new Rose Quartz Collection from Meg's Garden. 
I have used  Rose Quartz Papercrafter pack which is a perfect accompaniment for your cards.  
Firstly here is a 'look see' at the 3 cards and following you can see them in more detail.

 This collection is well suited to 'specialty' cards and the first one I would like to share with you is my 'arch' card.

 A little bit of fussy cutting to set off the printed  paper.

 Then teamed with a little metal butterfly from Meg's Garden 

Next is a little 'peek-a-boo' card

It certainly is amazing how you can use this wonderful Papercraft pack.  Next is a little triangle card which worked perfectly with some of Meg's Garden lace and flowers.

Finally for you, I have created a 'acetate window' card.  Unfortunately it is a little hard to see that it is a window, but I know you will get the idea.    Petals, leaves and lace  fitted so well in the window.

I hope you have enjoyed today's journey through the Rose Quartz Collection and for more of the collection please visit http://megsgarden.com/
Thanks for taking the time to look and see you next time.....Happy Scrapping......Liz
