FRAMED HEART

Hello

Thank you for popping into Megs Garden  Blog

Annette here 

Today I'm sharing with you a

 'FRAMED HEART'

created with papers from the 

LAVANDE collection from 

MEGS GARDEN

Purples, mauves, lilac & lavender are not colours I work with often

however this range certainly managed to get my creative juices working

The frame was a plastic one bought from a bargain store,

I painted with gesso, then rubbed with inka golds in purple & silver.

I fussy cut the floral heart & adhered it to a heart shaped doily, 

A spray of flowers, a sprinkle of glitter, metal 'LOVE' title & a quote:

 ' the best & most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or 

even touched- they must be felt with the heart.'

completed the framed work .

PRETTY IN LAVENDER

Hello It's Annette here
 welcoming you to Megs Garden Blog
 Today I wish to share with you my 'Mirror Image Frames'

.....well they're nearly mirror image .... 

'Pretty in Lavender'

using the very pretty range of papers from 

MEGS GARDEN

titled

'LAVANDE'

These papers are lovely in their delicate colours of violet, mauve & lavender

& I was happy to start playing as soon as my  DT goodie box arrived ..

Meg also added in some extra trimmings &

I hunted through my stash & gathered 'purple'  stuff ...

the silver frames were a Christmas present from 'secret santa'

which I rubbed them with inka gold to highlight the pattern

the Chipboard frames were silver embossed then also rubbed with inka gold on the edges

I added water to the inka gold to colour my skeleton leaves

 Using patterned paper as my background I adhered the chipboard & 

the silver matted image

the tassle is made from a bead fringe which would be quite a number of years old

as it was in my mum's sewing treasures ( it will come in handy one day)

then added a spray of flowers & a sprinkle of beads to complete

PRETTY in LAVENDER

I'm quite pleased with the finished result & it's only the images that are not mirrored.

Please take some time to stroll (scroll) through the garden

& be inspired by the Garden Ladies 

Happy Scrapping

SHERLOCK JOURNAL

 Hello all .. Annette here..

thanks for popping by 

 today I'm sharing with you a journal I created using 

SHERLOCK JOURNAL VOL II papers

I really enjoy playing with neutral colours

& distressing,  grunging  & making mini albums

  so I LOVED this new range

'it was right up my alley' as they say

My cover was made from scratch with chipboard

using gel medium I adhered my chosen papers to front, back & spine
inked across the paper & around the edges for a pre-loved book look 

decorating the join with mesh ribbon

then used photo corners & a metal flourish with a handle adhered on top .

 there is a real feather under the quill

clocks are from a previous paper from Meg's Garden

acetate from my stash is adhered as a pocket so photos can be added

lift the metal ring to flip out the page for journalling &/or photo

tags slide out

mount for photo

tags for more writing & a mat for small photo

tag with key opens the flip out

The letter unties & opens out & the lions head page flips out as well

a post card for more journaling & a photo mount

 final page with space to write the end of your journal entries

Are you ready for some Sherlock?

The journal papers are ready for you!

Available printed or digital download

18 papers - 8.3x11"; pages for journal are 5x7.5"
