LOVE ~ SPRING PASTELS COLLECTION

Hello fellow scrappers, Mary here to share a layout using the beautiful new SPRING PASTELS COLLECTION

For this layout I also created a tag from the Cut and Create Sheet . I originally was going to place the tag next to the photo of my Aunt and Uncle on their wedding day, but I did not want to cover the gorgeous image of the lady on the PP, so moved the tag further down on my page. This Range is so pretty and soft.

I made my tag on a piece of cardboard just ripped from the pizza box that my kit came in.  Painted it with black gesso and then sprayed with white mist and rose and gold mist , some perfect pearls , added lace and organza ribbon from Megs Shop and the image and Dream sentiment from the cut and create sheet.

I cut around the image of the butterfly with a craft knife  enough that the frame could sit without covering the butterfly image. The Love title is again from the Cut and Create sheet , have I mentioned before how many beautiful images come on one sheet ! Ribbon , flowers and the bit of lace you can see peeping through the frame are all from Megs Garden Shop.
I really love this range. I kept this layout relatively simple and clean because the paper is so pretty.
I hope you pop over to the shop and check out this gorgeous range, so pretty !
Until next time
Happy Creating

SHE IS GORGEOUS ~ SPRING PASTELS COLLECTION

Hello Mary here to share a layout with the beautiful new Spring Pastels Collection
This range is 8.3 x 11 in size and is perfect for making cards, mini books or layouts. I thought it would be nice to do a layout in this size for a change as apposed to the normal 12 x 12 size, plus I have a couple of albums in this size that I really need to do more layouts for.
I love the soft dreamy colours and the gorgeous images on the cut and create sheets. This is what I created

She is Gorgeous

I have used the dreamy soft hydranga background and fussy cut the single hydranga flowers from the cut and create page  and have them falling down my page
To create the border around my photo I just used Kaisercraft paint and then added the lovely soft organza flower edged ribbon . The flowers are all from Megs Gardens Shop and I have fussy cut the butterfly from the cut and create page as well. The lovely thin mauve ribbon fits in perfectly amongst my cluster. I have also added some fussy cut pieces at the top of my photo and at the side , on which I have placed the title .

Being Spring in Australia at the moment and the days getting warmer, perfect to create with this beautiful range.
Until next time

Oh So Romantic ~ Vintage Journal Range

Hello Mary here to share a Romantic layout with you. I have to say when I sat down to create I had the intentions of doing some Masculine tags , but whilst shuffling among the papers I came to the beautiful, soft, romantic Vintage Journal 05 paper and I just adore it, so the tags went on hold for now.

How beautiful is this paper !
I kept my layout quite clean and simple, as the paper I feel is just perfect .

From this day forward 

I fussy cut the corner of the book image, so as to slot my photo behind it.

To mat my photo I have cut a corner from one of the large Doilies from Megs shop  and on the other side a lovely piece of lace from the shop
Top corner of my photo two organza flowers , a diamante   ,pearl trim and have added a narrow satin ribbon , that flows across my page and down to attach to the gorgeous vintage key and lock

With the 4 x12 strip of PP that comes with the 12 x12 , I punched out a couple of layered flowers and added to the layout.
Everything I have used on my layout besides some old rubons  and the silver hearts from my stash ,is from Megs Store

Thank you for calling by, I recommend you visit Megs Store for gorgeous papers and embellishments and to browse the blog for inspiration from the girls on the DT , you won't be disappointed .
Until next time

Floating on a palette of Watercolours in Blues

Hello and Welcome To Megs Garden , Mary here with a layout created with the beautiful range Watercolours in Blues Range of Papers.

Firstly I cut the 4 x 12 " strip you receive with the corresponding  12x 12 " Pattern paper into strips and placed it as the base for my photo. I then dragged gesso over these strips to give the strips definition. I painted some texture paste through a mask , that I think looks like swan feathers.
A close up for you.

To me this beautiful paper looked like a lovely lake for my photo I took of a Swan in  Zurich to float on. To the right of the photo I punched a decorative border from one of the strips I cut, and then added a small doily I had cut in halve and layered it.Two bows in the gorgeous soft satin seam binding ribbons one in  blue and one in white and added the soft organza flower with pearls.I also added a couple of soft white feathers in the cluster. I took the London Image from the Cut and Create sheet and added on the right of my photo for some more layers . To add a contrasting colour I used Black Card Stock and a  Die, also adds another layer.
Pop over to Megs Garden Shop to find the products I have listed .

You will be so happy to create with this beautiful range .
Until next time
Mary
