Rose Quartz Mini Book by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone. I have made a mini book using 12x12 pages using the beautiful papers from Megs garden.

I cut out the smaller pictures which I then made into tags to slide into the pockets. I tied gold, brown and green ribbon on different ones.



I used the beautiful light rose lace to frame pictures.

Gold leaves and gold edging was glued into the book to make it pretty like the old photos of the ladies in the book.

The tiny roses from Megs garden are terrific small detail element to any picture.

I like the metal flower with the green flower beside it as they are both not what you would call a traditional colour of flowers.

Using double sided 12x12 paper this is how the mini book is made.

Fold the paper  in half.



Then fold it in half the other way.

As the below picture shows cut a 5mm strip out of the page.

Fold the page up then back on itself to form a pocket.

Stick it down. one side has a pocket and the other is a page.

Turn over and do the same again.

Now you will have another pocket and a page the other side.

Using this technique you can make as many pages as you like and thread a piece of ribbon and lace to bind it into a book. This book can be made into a lot of different page set ups. So experiment a little.

Thanks for taking the time to look at my latest project. Thanks Megs for such pretty papers and embellishments. Keep up the great work.

VINTAGE SHADOW BOX by Liz Hocking

Hello Bloggers,

Well it is getting to the end of the year and I am guessing that some of you are not finding the time to partake in your hobby of cardmaking, scrapbooking and papercrafts.  But if you are like me, sometimes we have a quiet moment to work on an item we have had tucked away in our stash. 

I came across this glass fronted shadow box that was taking up too much space in my stash and really needed to take pride and place on one of my walls.  So take a seat and a cuppa and hopefully be inspired.

I have used Meg's Garden Collection 'French Garden' and  'Cafe au Lait' .

The French Garden Collection is perfect for making your own special embellishments.  I cut out  a butterfly,  girl and a gorgeous sign, which I have matted on black cardstock and then applied some dimensional magic and this is the result.

Then some more decorations from Meg's Garden, Flowers, metal trinkets and lace.

and then to protect it from dust, closed the glass top and decorated the front with hand made embellishments, lace and lace doily.

Well I hope you have enjoyed this journey and that you have been inspired.  Until next time....happy scrapping....Liz

Christmas Envelope album by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone. And welcome to my post. Christmas is not far away now and I made this envelope album to put all my little goodies I get at Christmas time.

I made a template from black cardstock to form the envelope. Then I folded and glued the flaps together. Making sure the front template had a longer flap to go over all pages.

Each page opens one  end so my gift cards , photos and other nick knacks can be slide in.



Some pages I placed a magnetic spot and others a little latch to keep the flaps closed.



Glitter is so Christmas for me. The more the better. Using different colour glitter was a good way to highlight parts of the pictures.

Punching eyelets into the cardstock for the ring binding I felt was a nice finishing touch.



 Lace dollies and glimmer mist added a good depth of colour.

I hope you enjoyed looking at my project as much as I did making it.

Merry Christmas House by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone. With Christmas not to far away I enjoyed making a Christmas House to start my decorations. I used Megs Garden Microscope Glass slide mailers for this house.

Microscope Glass Slide 

  Living in a country that has hot to very hot Christmas days I used blues and whites to represent snow. I would love to have a white Christmas.

The lace is icicles hanging from the gutters with glitter on the roof to look like snow.



What's Christmas with out a Tree. And a lovely star on top. I cut around the plastic that the diamonds where bought on instead of pulling it of. I used double sided tape and stuck them to the top of the tree back to back.

Using a brick embossing pattern I rubbed white ink onto the grout side and then put the blue paper in it before running it through my Big Shot. This made the grout more defined against the bricks. 

I cut the centre of a paper doily out and stuck it to the roof. This pattern was like a huge snow flake.

Using very thin silver steel sheets I embossed snow flakes for the base of the decoration.

The diamonds stuck on the eves are little snowflakes. With a dusting of white ink on the embellishments.

I designed the house so I could place a little fake candle inside of it so the Santa windows would shine. 



Thanks for having a look at my little Christmas house. I really enjoyed making it.

2016 'English Rose Garden' Calendar by Liz Hocking

Hello Bloggers and welcome once again.

Don't know about you, but it sure has been a busy month for me with scrap booking and making
'off the page' projects for birthday presents.
One of them I am showcasing for you today.  With my daughter in law's mother's birthday coming up, I decided to look through my stash of wooden 'off the page' items and came across a hard wood calendar.  Well the news got even better when I was given the 'English Rose Garden' mini square pad (145mm), which would you believe was the perfect size for the calendar......no trimming needed.

For this front cover I have also used 'Cut & Create' basket that I have coloured with Copics, Meg's Garden metal, paper lace doilies  and ribbons.

I had fun putting together the rest of the calendar which included using Meg's Garden Metal Butterfly and Dragonfly and more metal.

On the September I have also used Designs Galore Butterflies.

I find that the 'cut and creates' are lovely to work with and perfect for small projects too.

Thanks for taking the time to look and I trust that you found some inspiration here.  To check out this collection and more please feel free to click HERE.

Until next time, happy creating........Liz

My Forgotten Meadows Little Journal

MY FORGOTTEN MEADOWS LITTLE JORNAL

My Little Journal.

Hi everyone, it's Miriam here with my May project for Meg's Garden using the Forgotten Meadows paper collection.I have kept the journal small and the pages plain, just let the papers speak for them self. I added some fussy cutting to the flowers and just a few embellishments here and there. I also used a leaf stamp then cut them out and added some vintage photo to the edges.I also used an embossing boarder folder to make two pockets to hold some tags on the front and back covers.
