Adriana Bolzon creates with Art 1 papers

Hi there everyone, Adriana here today sharing a layout that I have created with the papers from Meg's Garden collection, this collection is called -

"Art 1 papers" ..

This layout is featured in the special

issue of "Scrapbooking Memories" issue Vol 17 no 1

This issue is showcasing some amazing

talented creatives in Australia and New Zealand.

These are the papers that I have used to create this layout

all available from Megs Garden Website

The story behind the layout

"Narnu Farm" is situated on Hindmarsh Island 

in South Australia, near Goolwa. It is a cabin style farm which you can book accommodation to stay overnight and also feed the animals and look at life on a working farm.

My daughter went there for her school camp and

had a wonderful time with her teachers and 

friends from school. 

A very rustic truck sits at the entrance of farm for people to see as they enter the farm gate.

I created a corrugated rustic fence with the "Corrugated Iron" papers, but I cut them up and place brads at each end.I also

placed some "Burlap" paper under the matted photo, just for

an added rustic touch.

I created a cluster of flowers on the bottom of the photo, I handmade 2 flowers from some old vintage book paper.

I then added some Velvet Viola Posy flowers, Oatmeal flowers & Paper leaves, a touch of Burlap trim and also

added some Skeleton Mesh to the ends of the of flowers.

Thanks for looking, Adriana 

"What a collection of ideas - well done Adriana.  Have driven by Narnu Farm many times & not paid any attention to it until today.  Love the way you have combined the Art Papers with the different papers, flowers & leaves.  The velvet violas look totally at ease amongst all the rustic elements."

Mixed Media from Guest Designer - Belinda Spencer

Hello Bloggers

Today we have a guest designer to our Design Team - Belinda Spencer does awesome work & she shows us how she uses 1 of the papers in the ART paper collection.

'I have created a layout and easel card so far using the Light Brown Crackles paper and the fabulous skeleton mesh.'

This is the paper she used Light Brown Crackles - the 12x12" on the layout & one of the squares from the 4x12" strip on the card

and the Skeleton Mesh - fabulous when frayed

How amazing her work!!  

Thank you so much Belinda - totally love what you have done. Would love to have you back anytime.

Bye for now

New Papers

Hello Bloggers

Welcome to the New Year.  Lots of exciting things are on the drawing board here.  Just back from CHA with so many new products & ideas buzzing around in my head I am not sure where to start.

Denise is hard at work with her new collection which is expected to be ready at the end of the month.  Sneak peaks look fab.

Meanwhile we have some new papers that are at both extremes.

The first one is for those unusual projects which require a unique paper -

 this is it:  Rusty Corrugated Iron 3500

In the middle of the two extremes is a fun paper pack with six images of ephemera - vintage map of Paris in the 1800s, vintage writing, some French ads & a coffee coloured piece of music.  These can be used as backgrounds on cards; tear & distress the edges for pieces to add to projects & also for scrapbooking.  The papers are 145mm square.

The Ephemera Pack

At the other extreme are the Ladies in White - a 12x12" with a 4x12" strip:

as well as some of the images reduced in size so that the largest edge of either the square or the rectangle is 145mm.  This is the Ladies in White mini pack.

The images are from watercolour paintings from the Impressionist School from 1800s & 1900s.

 Have fun creating with these new papers

Bye for now

Meg
