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.

THE PERFECT DAY ~ IT REALLY WAS . CREATING WITH SHADES OF GREEN RANGE

Hello fellow crafters,

Mary here today to share another layout for my Daughters wedding album using the Shades of Green Range.

The Perfect Day ~ it really was

Once again I have created a 12 x 12 page by using a piece of cardstock to adhere the A4 shades of green pattern paper to.

I recently purchased the Oval Die cut which comes with two dies, this is the large, but the small is also a good size, perfect for framing your photo. On the opposides of my page I added the Screen Print die in mint green  to add a touch of colour and a decorative element to my page.

I created a cluster in the corner of the photo with a filigree Flower placed a paper flower and leaf on the top , attached a charm heart with pearl trim and also placed a clear gem ball and 3 pastel enamel dots, all placed on a ribbon of lace.In the opposite corner I placed the Filigree stip with the Honey Bee charm.

I used the satin edged sheer ribbon to tie a bow so to me it almost looks like a book that you can open . For texture I added the flower pattern in each corner through a stencil with texture paste and coloured with distress oxide inks . The Happiness chippy was given to me by my friend Bec and I also coloured it with Distress Oxide.
Thank You so much for calling by, I hope I have inspired you to pop over to Megs Store and get yourself some gorgeous product to create your memories with.
Happy Creating

LIFE IS A JOURNEY ~ SHADES OF GREEN

Hello Mary here to share another layout with the range Shades of Green

LIFE IS A JOURNEY 

Because I am creating these layouts for my Daughters album I turn them into a 12 x 12 layout by simple adding the A4 pattern paper to a sheet of cardstock.

I added some texture with a rose stencil and texture paste and added some pink tones with water colour paint. Under my photo more texture using one of the dies from the store. There is a huge rang of dies to choose from, this one is called Screen Frame. The butterfly has been fussy cut from the Shades of Green Cut and Create Sheet and I have used lace and sheer green ribbon and the crystal jewel to nestle the flair. Under the butterfly I have one of Megs doily's peeking out.

My title which is from The Cut and Create sheet  I have framed with a chippy I embossed from my stash and then added the pastel enamel dots either side . Meg has enamel dots in all shades in the store. To pick up the shades of green in the paper I placed the Carte Postcard from a cut and create sheet at the top of my photo, I think it ties in nicely with the greens on the PP.

I finished the layout by fussy cutting the single white rose  from the cut and create sheet and placing it as though it is falling from the bouquet .

Thank you for calling by , I hope I have inspire you  to create with the gorgeous romantic papers and embellishments.
Happy Creating
