Darling Live Your Best ~ Lavande Range

Hello Mary here to share another layout using the new Lavande Range.

Darling Live Your Best

How pretty is this Paper ! My last layout was quite clean and simple , because honestly these papers are so beautiful I don't like to cover them too much. But this time I resisted and decided to go a little OTT , just to show not to be scared to get a little arty with the papers if you choose.

with the 12 x 12 papers you also receive 4" x 12" strips. I used one of these strips cut down to mat my photo under the black cardstock (you can just see some pattern around the edge )

I have added pieces of  mauve mesh  around my photo at certain places to add a bit of colour and softness. I used the fancy round frame to highlight my title and I tied the soft mauve sheer ribbon around it and then weaved it through the flower cluster. All these products can be found at Megs Store,
From my stash added paint drips, texture paste through a stencil, water paints  and a little stamping to the page .The chipboard "darling" is from A2Z Scraplets.
If you pop over to Megs Store you can view the whole Lavande Range by clicking on the YouTube Link
I hope I have inspired you to take a look at what is available In the Lavande Range , as it is so beautiful to create with.
Until next time
Happy Creating

Dream Layout

Hello friends of Meg's Garden! Today I am sharing a layout with you that features papers from the brand new collection from Meg's Garden named Lavande. It's vintage and beautiful.

To frame my photos, I used beautiful flowers from Meg's Garden along with some chippies from my stash. I altered all of the chipboard pieces by stamping them with Versamark ink and heat setting them with white embossing powder.

I love this little bird cage with the birds! I used white gesso as a base coat before I coloured the pieces in with Prima oil pastels. To add a vintage touch, I stamped a script stamp over my bird cage and title.

Chantilly Cream - 'Love' by Katrina Thompson

Hello everyone!! I have some more Chantilly Cream goodness today on the blog, to hopefully inspire you all. I have used the Chantilly Cream Papercrafter pack and with a few flowers to embellish you will find the endless combination of images from this pack can give you so many variations for whatever project you may wish to adapt to. I hope you enjoy! K x

Select your combination of images and background papers. Notice I have sliced the

cream  rectangle. I really wanted to use it but it wasn't as long as I needed so by splitting

 it and hiding the split under the other layers, we've instantly made it longer.

Create your own frame by cutting the center from this

amazing flourish and using it to frame the flowers.

Arrange your layers to gauge the fit before inking and attaching.

The flowers are a combination of the Carabella rose, the organza lace flower with diamante,

an open paper rose and the small flowers from the cornsilk flowers.

All layered with the flowers, some muslin and the Tattered net trim to embellish.

I have inked with Scattered Straw and Dried Marigold.

The cornsilk flower is tucked into a paper petal.

Use your 3D tape between your layers to give you depth.

Thankyou.... and until next time, Happy Creating! K x

Gift Box with Note Cards

Hello everyone Patti with you today sharing a Gift Box and Note Card set featuring the French Garden collection designed exclusively for Meg's Garden

I've shared with you before that, like most crafters, I find it hard to toss out a unique shaped box.  The one I've altered today I've had for at least a year or more, it came originally with a watch in it but personally I think it looks much better as a Gift Box.

I think what drew me to it were the way the flaps tucked into the bottom of the box to close.  Unique and different, hmmm, When I saw it empty that little inner crafty voice whispered 'I'm sure it must be repurposed'!

After papering and adorning the outside I lined all but the small tuck in flaps with designer paper.  I picked this beautiful panel for the inside bottom.  Most times it will be covered with something I'm sure but who could resist using this beautiful piece of paper?  

The top and falling down the front are Open Paper Roses from Meg's store, they are so gorgeous.  I tucked in some of the butterfly charms and whisps of ribbon and fibers here and there.  The paper had birds in a birdcage on it so I emphasized them by placing a wooden birdcage over top.

To finish off the outside I used a Prima mask and Liquitex Modeling Paste.  Oh I love the effect this gives.  I went over portions with my Wink of Stella but it's hard to pick of the twinkle in the photos.

Tucked and tied in this pretty little package are the note cards, envelopes, stickers and sentiments.

Using the paper I made an assortment of note cards, each 3 1/2' square with an accompanying envelope.  I left the inside blank and used my Scallop Corner Chomper on the two outer edges.

Included are various sentiments that can be glued inside the note cards depending on the occasion.

To complete the set I used my 1" round punch and punched out pieces from the collection, inked the edges and then ran them all together through my Xyron sticker maker.  Now the note card can have the sentiment added, be placed in the envelope and be closed with a darling little sticker from the collection.

There are many more photos plus a complete walk through of the box and each card on the video, I hope you'll join me there.  Please check out Meg's Garden for this collection and the supplies that follow.

Melancholy by Cathi O'Neill

Hello fellow crafters!! Cathi here again with a layout featuring the gorgeous Meg's Garden French Garden Collection.  I chose the beautiful Le Jardin paper from the collection to make my base, using some gorgeous cut outs from the cut and create paper.

For this layout I chose a modern photo of my gorgeous younger daughter Aisling! She hates to get her photo taken, so I find I scrap my elder daughter more for sheer numbers of photos I have. I wish Aisling would let me take her photo more, but this is often the face I get, or the back of her head as she runs away!! I still think she looks beautiful though, even with this sad face.  

Above you can see the photo cluster set on a base of a 15cm Paper Doily, using the cut outs from the Cut and Create paper as layers as well. I have used the Extra Long Filigree Vintage Trinket, cut in half and placed in two areas on my layout. The gorgeous ribbon came from the Temptations in Green bundle that Meg offers! Here you can also see the Meg's Garden Paper Lilies and Pink and Cream Open Paper Roses.

This second flower cluster show the gorgeous butterfly I cut out from the A4 Butterflies Transparency. The butterfly is perched on the gorgeous Ivory Poppy and I again used the Extra Long Filigree Vintage Trinket and Pink and Cream Open Paper Roses.

For my background I used a mask and modeling paste to add texture then added mists for color and splatters. I added a script stamp to the background then finished it off with some stitching around the edges.

I love how the layout turned out and hope you enjoyed having a look, the French Garden papers are just stunning!!
