DELIGHT IN THE MEMORIES ~ PARISIAN GARDENS COLLECTION

Hello Mary here to share another layout using the Gorgeous Parasian Gardens Collection. I LOVE this collection and I am enjoying creating with it.

The images from the cut and create sheets are perfect to create tags, cards etc. At the moment I am really loving them to make tags on ripped up pieces of cardboard. I love the irregular edges and texture it gives and then I can add them to layouts or cards as I go and so many beautiful images to chose from to go on the tag.

I have used the lovely long oval fligree in the top right hand corner of my photo and just added a little pearl. The "inspire" word ,  tab image on the side of  my photo and beautiful , vintage lady image are all from the Cut and Create Sheet. I added a little rose and the soft , ribbon, all from Megs Store  ~and the layout was done. I am finding the papers are so beautiful that less is more on the layout.
Thank You for calling by I hope you Love the Parisian Gardens range as much as I do.
Happy Creating

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.

LAYOUTS IN SPRING PASTELS

Hello all 

Annette here wishing you a very Happy New Year 

O Goodness I am so far behind in blogging ... 

through this Christmas holiday season  I have running around chasing my tail

and am only now finally catching up with projects.

Not sure if any one else can get into a tangle like I do .... 

my difficulty then is unravelling myself which I am in the process of doing

I completed these Layouts in Meg's Garden Spring Pastels

I truly loved the delicacy of the colours & found it so hard to cut into them

the beautifully delicate Spring Pastels pack

SHE LEFT A TRAIL OF GLITTER ~ SPRING PASTELS COLLECTION

Hello Mary here today , creating with the gorgeous Spring Pastels Collection

I chose to keep the layout quite simple, as the papers are just so darn nice, I don't think it needs a lot of embellishment

The butterfly in the top corner I have fussy cut from the cut and create sheet , along with the "Love" sentiment. The butterfly in the bottom corner I used a Craft knife to cut around the image on the PP enough for the corner of the photo to slot in
I used the Pearl trim and twined it amongst the chipboard piece from A2Z Scraplets. With the little flower edged organza ribbon, that is ever so delicate , I cut the flowers individually and placed here and there  on my page.
Thank You for calling by, don't forget to visit Megs Store for some beautiful papers and embellishments.
Happy Creating

Thank you for looking.  Karen x

Parisian Gardens Altered Box

Parisian Gardens – Altered Box with Ornament

06/01/2017 ~ BARBARA ~ EDIT

I want to share with you a small altered box that I made over the Christmas break using Meg’s Garden latest paper collection called Parisian Gardens.

I like to ‘repurpose’ items as often as I can, and this little box was much too gorgeous to throw away after the fragrant candle it had contained was long melted and enjoyed.

Because the box was in very good condition, I didn’t have to do anything much to it. It was a neutral craft colour and very sturdy and well made. I covered the top of the lid with a circle punched from one of the papers to hide some wording that was stamped there and using the same paper for all parts I covered the box.

I fashioned the top handle from one of Meg’s metal filigree embellishments, the birdsnest and eggs are from my own collection/stash. You may be able to make out the cutest little bird just arriving to keep the eggs warm, to the right of the nest. I didn’t think to get a closer photo.

I wasn’t sure whether to have this as the back or the front of the box.  As I have left most of the main box free of embellishment, I suppose, it can be either.  I have added another few metal filligrees ( all are attached with Glossy Accents). These are easy to curve to the shape that you want. You can also cut them if you desire (but don’t use your favourite fussy cutting scissors for this.

I initially had a pretty green bead in the shape of a heart dangling from the lid of the box. I removed it because it interferred with the handle on the top of the bauble.

Shows bauble (on it’s side and interior of box). I finished all exposed edges of the original box with a gold Sharpie. I also sponged the edges of all paper pieces before adding them. The elements inside the bauble are fussy cut from the Parisian Gardens Cut and Create sheets. The pink flower is Green Tara.  I created a stand for the bauble using two of the filligree flowers which you can see better in the photo of the box with Buddha below.

A few more photo’s show the other side of the bauble, the bauble stands on top of the upturned box with the ever helpful Buddha assisting me with the shot. And finally one of the box in front of our gorgeous bougainvillea which will be getting a severe haircut when it stops flowering.

I hope you enjoyed this look at what you can do with the lovely Parisian Gardens paper collection and some of the pretty embellishments from Meg’s Garden.

Until next time, Happy Crafting
