Ladies cards by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone.

I have made some cards from the "Vintage Ladies Journal Cards" from Megs Garden.

They are the perfect size for cards. These three cards are made with a smoky grey cardstock background which goes perfect with silver. I have used the die "Frames Rectangle" which has been used on all the cards in different coloured cardstock. It is amazing how one die can be used in so many different ways. Very good value for money.

Wedding Treasures by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone. I have been very busy making a box for my daughter

to put her wedding treasures in. I made it for her to keep all those wedding items that don't fit into a album. Like a hair clip or wedding personalised cuff links.

I found Megs Gardens lace dollies fitted the box perfectly. Don't be afraid

to cut them up. They are so pretty.

I fussy cut out a butterfly and added glitter to it. When it was nearly

 dry I gently folded up the wings.

Inking edges with a dark brown can give the item an aged look.

I used a lot of crystal glitter on the flowers. Made them look like I had just

watered them.

I picked some bracken fern and sprayed it silver. This gives the flowers some fine foliage to go with the flowers.

I had a ball using Megs Garden new moulds. So easy and affective.

I painted mine to look like silver.

If you gently brush the dried paint with some dark ink in the deeper parts and then

wipe of the excess you can achieve an aged look.

Thanks for dropping by. Have a lovely day.

Hens Party Box by Meredith Hilly

Hello to all. Hope you are enjoying a bit of sunshine.

Recently my daughter had her hens night and I scrapped her a book of all the fun things we got up to.

Not wanting everyone to be able to see these activities a box was needed to be made for the book to be stashed in.

I used a red chocolate container and recycled it into the box I needed by sticking ribbon and paper onto it. This fitted the book and also the some of the party favours I made for our guests on the night.



The flowers where made using two or three of the paper flowers from Megs garden. By holding the centre of the first flower and pinching the petals up you then repeat the same process with the second flower. Fold as many as you want for a fuller flower effect. Then gather them together and glue them down. I added green glitter to the centre of them for a deeper effect. I think they look like dahlias.

Beings a hens night my lovely hens donated some feathers to the decorations on the lid.

I am sorry I am not able to show you the hens book inside but "What happens on a hens night stays on a hens night."

Wedding Cake Book by Meredith Hilly

Hello everyone.

 This project is very special to me as my daughter is getting married very soon and I wanted to preserve all the moments of the day. As soon as I saw Megs papers I knew that this was the perfect collection to do it with.

I wanted the book to look like a wedding cake so I made four sized books and attached them together.

Each layer I decorated on the cover I was trying to make the paper good enough to eat. The colour range used and the hessian match what we will be using at the wedding.

The flowers and the gold wedding embellishment where perfect.

This is the inside cover of the first book.

I made it so it fits a 6x4 photo.

This is the back cover of the smallest book. I just love the rose petals and pearls.



This is the inside of the second book As you can see from the invitations the colours and flowers compliment each other.

I did a collage on one side with a book and 3D box on the other side.

For the pages in this book I used the "vintage journal" collection.

Using 3D foam I made a collage. The pictures represent the past , present and future for the soon to be married couple.

This is the third book inside cover. I used a strip of tassels to create a holding strap  for a smaller envelope book.

This is the envelope book ready for pressed flowers from the wedding day.



Megs dollies are the perfect choice to make pages elegant. Especially when there are lace love hearts to use.

I fussy cut from the "ephemera packs" of paper all these wonderful pictures and placed them throughout the album.

This paper range has so much available to create with. I look forward to completing and sharing the forth book when I have lots of photos and memorabilia to add to it.

Thanks for having a look.
