Vintage Notebook

I enjoy recovering and reusing items, either for use with another purpose or simply made into something more decorative to give as a gift.

What started off as a plain and boring, simple notebook, is now a heavily embellished and functional piece.

The cover is decorated with pieces from a few of Meg's collections - a Vintage Journal Card (VJC) from a previous release, Cut & Create elements, and the background piece from the current Mini Junk Journal collection was the perfect fit. All coordinate and compliment each other.

As well as embellishing the covers, inside is not forgotten. 

Firstly I decorated with a few more Cut & Create pieces, clustered together. Using one of my favourite mediums, vellum, I created 2 pockets, front and back. Versatile in its practical use, and also translucent so you can still see the decorations - and other goodies you may put inside! 

From the new and exciting Mini Junk Journal papers, I created a bookmark, layered with Cut & Create sentiments and topped with ribbon.

To finish, as it is an item that will be handled, I inked all edges to give it an added distressed look, and coated with a sealer to ensure its lasting beauty.

HAPPY MAIL ~ SHABBY CHIC BACKGROUNDS

Hello, Mary here to share a Flip Book I created for my Pen Pal using the Shabby Chic Background Card Pack Papers.

For my cover, I have used a Doily and flowers with  a satin edged organza ribbon, all from Megs Garden Store

On opening the Flipbook the first page is decorated with images fussy cut from the Cut and Create Sheet, enamel dots and a little fairy charm, Opposite page a lines and curls die cut to decorate a fussy cut stamp from the cut and create sheet and I made a little envelope from The Pattern paper and placed the  angel on the flap of the envelope .

I have placed some of the lovely images from the cut and create sheet inside the little envelope for my Pen Pal.

I decorated the next pages with images from the cut and create sheet, a large doily and inside the little glassier bag I have a tea bag for my friend and placed the Cafe Paris Image on the front from a cut and create sheet.

I made a opening in the letter image from the cut and create sheet to place my letter to my friend inside , added some images from the cut and create sheet and then made a lace paperclip banner using a small piece of left over PP , lace and enamel dots from Megs Store .

This flap then opens out to create another two pages. I made a tag with an image from the cut and create sheet and added a sentiment from the cut and create sheet which I shaded with a soft pink ink.
The top page I made a pocket from an image from the cut and create sheet and placed some washi tape inside and decorated with the images of the ladies from the cut and create sheet.

To finish my flip book I added the large butterfly image.

Thank You for calling by, I hope I have given you some ideas and that you visit Megs Shop to be inspired to create a beautiful product.

Happy Creating

Art Journal Album

Hello everyone,
Leanne here to share my latest project an Art Journal Album. I have created this Album from scratch using Alchemy 101 patterned papers & black cardstock. I have kept this project fairly simple. Each page is also a large pocket allowing me to tuck away photos or art project pieces. My album measures 22 x 28.5cm. I have also left a couple of the pages blank, so I can add photos at a later date.

Until next time.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Have a wonderful day & happy creating.

NEW WATERCOLOUR IN BLUES - 3 DISTINCT CARDS by Liz Hocking

Hello Bloggers,
Thanks for joining me today to see Meg's Garden new collection 'Watercolour in Blues'.  This is such a beautiful soft collection, as always and fantastic for making cards, as well as pretty layouts.
For you today, I have chosen to make 3 cards, using the Collection .

I loved using this Collection 'Watercolour in Blues' as the blue is so soft and works well on dark card.
Here is a close up of my first card, which has a 'secret' pop up sentiment card.

For my edging Versa ink 'Atlantic Blue' is a perfect match.
My next card I did a little embossing in silver, which I feel suited the theme I was trying to create.
Meg's Garden doiley, pearls, lace ribbon, and metal emb.

Finally, for my last card, I was given quite a few A4 envelopes, so decided to make some cards to fit.This is the front

and then open.

Well I hope that have enjoyed viewing the new collection and to see more you can follow this link.

Thanks for taking the time to view and until next time.....happy scrapping from Liz

Vintage Waterfall Folio

 

Hello friends! I hope you are well. Today I would like to share a waterfall folio that I have created using papers from Meg's Garden. The collection I have used is called the Forgotten Meadows. It has muted tones, beautiful flowers and oodles of vintage charm.

To frame my main focal image I altered a chipboard frame. I placed it in an embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine. I used Distressed stain walnut stain, then applied Versamark embossing ink, then sprinkled Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Bronze Embossing powder and embossed the frame to create this aged vintage look. Once dry, I applied some more of the distress stain to tone it down.

Here is the inside of of the folio. There is a side pocket for tags and another for mementoes and on the right you can see the waterfall mechanism.

I used some left over papers as well as some of the of the ephemera from the cut and create sheet that is supplied in the collection.

I have a short video that I have made where you can see me going through my vintage waterfall folio.

I hope that'll have a go in creating one. Here is the link to a tutorial which I followed to create it.
