Molto Bello ~ Sherock 111 a new case

Hello Mary here to share a travel layout created with the new range Sherlock 111 A New Case

The Italians really know how to create beautiful balconies. This is a balcony in the Piazza Navona in Rome.

I thought this particular paper from the new Sherlock 111 a New Case suited a travel page as it has the lovely  Post Card image on it. I added some clock washi tape and clock stamp and also used a blossom stencil with texture paste . I used the Lattice and circles die cut under my photo and then I used the branch with flowers die to contine the flowers from the balcony trailing down my page, into this I added a couple of DoDo Vine pieces. 

The clock image I fussy cut from the cut and create sheet and secured with a Filigree. The postal images are also fussy cut from the cut and create sheet and I have added some Mesh ribbon to my layout 

Finally I wanted to share a card I made for my Friends who sadly had to say goodbye to their fur baby 

The image of the dog is from Pinterest and then I have used The Shabby Chic card Artist background papers for my base. 

Used the Lines and Curls die and also the Screen Frame Die

Fussy cut the large cogg from the New Sherlock 111 A new Case cut and create sheet and placed the metal cogg in the centre.  The cherish word from the cut and create sheet  I inked and then added twine and mesh ribbon to the card , all from Megs Store

Inside my card I have layered images from the cut and create sheets . With the envelope piece I used a craft knife to cut a opening to tuck the sentiment in.

Thank you for calling by , I hope I have inspired you to visit Megs Store and grab some gorgeous products that are sure to inspire you to be creative.

She Loved Flowers, Birds and a good hand of Cards

Hello Mary back again to share another layout with the gorgeous Shades of Green Range.
I wanted to use this beautiful Pattern Paper as my Mum Loved birds, so I immediately thought of her.

She loved Flowers, Birds and a Good Hand of Cards

How beautiful is this pattern paper ! I received my order of the dies and was keen to use them as well. This die has two in the pack and I used the smaller framed scalloped oval frame for this layout. I can see myself using this die a lot, they are a good size and will also be great for using to create cards as well as layout.

I have placed a little doily under my photo and frame and added a cluster in the corner. Flower , ribbon, dodo vine, circle filigree, salt mesh ribbon , doily  and dragon fly charm are all from Megs store. I fussy cut the "admit one and Play from the cut and create sheets from Megs .

"Fly Free " I fussy cut from the cut and create sheet . To finish the layout I placed the corner droop with loop in opposite corners of the layout and some pastel enamel drops 

Also I added a tag from the cut and create sheet that I tucked in the side of my layout for my journalling

made a bow the narrow ribbon to pull the tag out by

Thanks so much for calling by, I hope you take the time to pop over to the Store to take a look at the beautiful products available to create with.

SHABBY CHIC BACKGROUNDS, ENAMEL DOTS AND DIES

Hello Mary here to share some cards I have been working on with the Shabby Chic Backgrounds card pack. The colours are so soft , pretty and romantic.

Everything I have used to create my cards can be found in Megs Store. I love this die , which is called lattice and circles  , it is so versatile and I purchased the pastel enamel dots that work beautifully with the shabby chic papers, but there are all the colours available in the store.  The background is a soft pink and white polka dot patten.

This card the Background is lovely shades of green, so I chose embellishments with green hues. The ladies dress has touches of gold in her green dress , so I added the green and gold ribbon and also added white lace under the lattice and circle die. I used the pink enamel dots to compliment the flowers and die cut and used a organza ribbon for a touch of softness. The image of the lady and the Dream sentiment can be found on the cut and create sheets.

My last card the background is shades of mauve and once again I have used the Lattice and circle die ( told you I liked it ) I then used images I have fussy cut from the cut and create sheets and added the enamel dots and a sheer green ribbon on my fussy cut rose.
Thank You for calling by and if you have a special person that you would like to create a beautiful , unique card for , especially made by you, visit Megs Store for beautiful supplies.

Memory Book ~ New Alchemy Range

Hello Mary here today to share with you pages from a memory book I created for my Brother for Christmas using the new Alchemy Range. I had intended to make the journal itself but ran out of time, so I used a A4 3 ring folder to keep the memorys in.

I have kept the first page quite simple so as my brother can add journalling if he wishes. I fussy cut the envelope image and created a tag with a quote to tuck inside along with photos. I also fussy cut the "Journal" image and the scroll and feather from the cut and create sheet .

I added pages of my Dad in my brothers Studio on Christmas Day 2005. I have used images from the cut and create sheet to embellish my page along with fibre and brass embellishments from Megs Store.

I fussy cut the ART image from the cut and create sheet and then made a little slit with a craft knife to add it to the clip board image.

I have added a tag with journalling at the side of the photo. Images from the cut and create sheet. My Dad's favourite place to sit and have a smoke at the wood tank.

I fussy cut the flower urn from the cut and create sheet,  placed it on foam squares and placed flowers in it from Megs Store.

for this page I ripped the side, added pp to the underside of the rip so there would be a pattern showing not just white and then I added the coffee stain paper image from the cut and create page . I used a frame from Megs Store and painted it with gesso for a whitewash effect to frame Dad with.

My Grandparents sitting on the steps of their home.Using layers of left over PP from Megs to use as a mat for my photo.

I have added a page of my Mothers handwriting telling the story of her Mother starting a bush school.

Two of my brothers and myself when we were young

I fussy cut the open book and placed it on foam dots to give dimentsion and used a PP from the Sherlock Holmes range , the ranges work well together.

Again I have left the last page simple with room for journalling and I fussy cut the envelope , cut a slit and packed it with old family photos for my brother.

I encourage you to visit Megs Store for beautiful papers and embellishments to create with

Thank you for calling by. I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wishing everyone all good things for the New Year.

MEMORY JOURNAL

Hello Mary here to share a little memory journal I created for a Penfriend who lost her Grandmother last year.
To create the journal I have used Papers from several of Megs Gardens ranges. I have used Rose Quarts, Parisian Gardens, Water colour in Blue and Spring Pastels along with images from the Cut and Create ranges. That is the beauty of Megs papers , they all work so well together. The post is photo heavy, so maybe grab a cuppa and sit back and hopefully enjoy.

I have created a little pocket for my friend to pop maybe recipes of her Grandmothers, little sayings or memorabilia

another little pocket for notes and I have left room for Photos and journalling on most of the pages

I have used Lace from Megs Store to hold some journal cards in place.

I have tucked journal cards inside the envelope for writing down thoughts and added Lavender mesh ribbon for texture .

I have left an opening in the heart shape to slip a tag inside

another pocket for tags and memorabilia

and the final page has a frame to slide a photo in .

I hope you have enjoyed calling by and for all these gorgeous papers and embellishments and so much more pop over to Megs Store
