Spring by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone.
When creating your latest scrap project there will always be left over pieces of pages when its time to clean up. I find it very hard to throw these in the bin so I put them all in a tray knowing they will be handy for a future pages.
Well with such a wet winter the spring here was amazing for my flowers in the garden.
I knew I had paper from Megs garden that would complement pages with them.
So here is a mix up of a few of Megs papers.


The amount of bling I put on this page made it very difficult to get a nice photo. I used Kindy Glitz and Liquid Pearls to high light this lovely lady.




Tearing the edges of the matting around the photos gives another depth to the page.




When using left over paper to make a book it doesn't have to be the same size as the page before.




Adding fold out pages gets the best out of double sided pictures.






Cutting out and gluing part of a see through image , for example the butterfly , makes the image seen on following pages.


I am lucky enough to have a magnificent wisteria like the beautiful papers at Megs garden. They look great together.















On the back page I used a Slide Mailer from Megs Garden. This made a lovely ending for the book.



Thanks for having a look at my book.

Gift box by Meredith Hilly


Hello everyone. My project is a gift box. I enjoyed using megs papers with lime and blue  cardstock . These colours complimented the papers beautifully.



I used a feather from one of my Guinea Fowls. The black and white was perfect. I glued the quill on the paper with the feather next to the writing on it.


The vintage beauties strips from megs garden are perfect  addition for a touch of class. I framed them on black cardstock to match the tartan ribbon.


When you lift the lid of the box , it opens with four small trays  ready for you to put things in. Small presents , chocolates etc.








Thanks for having a look at my gift box. And I hope you find some ideas to help you create.
