Adriana Bolzon creates with Art 1 papers

Hi there everyone, Adriana here today sharing a layout that I have created with the papers from Meg's Garden collection, this collection is called -

"Art 1 papers" ..

This layout is featured in the special

issue of "Scrapbooking Memories" issue Vol 17 no 1

This issue is showcasing some amazing

talented creatives in Australia and New Zealand.

These are the papers that I have used to create this layout

all available from Megs Garden Website

The story behind the layout

"Narnu Farm" is situated on Hindmarsh Island 

in South Australia, near Goolwa. It is a cabin style farm which you can book accommodation to stay overnight and also feed the animals and look at life on a working farm.

My daughter went there for her school camp and

had a wonderful time with her teachers and 

friends from school. 

A very rustic truck sits at the entrance of farm for people to see as they enter the farm gate.

I created a corrugated rustic fence with the "Corrugated Iron" papers, but I cut them up and place brads at each end.I also

placed some "Burlap" paper under the matted photo, just for

an added rustic touch.

I created a cluster of flowers on the bottom of the photo, I handmade 2 flowers from some old vintage book paper.

I then added some Velvet Viola Posy flowers, Oatmeal flowers & Paper leaves, a touch of Burlap trim and also

added some Skeleton Mesh to the ends of the of flowers. 

List of materials available from Meg's Garden

 Viola Posy flowers

Skeleton Mesh

Oatmeal flowers & Paper leaves

Thanks for looking, Adriana 

"What a collection of ideas - well done Adriana.  Have driven by Narnu Farm many times & not paid any attention to it until today.  Love the way you have combined the Art Papers with the different papers, flowers & leaves.  The velvet violas look totally at ease amongst all the rustic elements."

Correspondence set: Album & Card

Hello there Crafters and Meg's Garden fans!

This is Marzena and it's my first projects for Meg's Garden as DT Member.

I am so happy to can work with this fabulous papers and embellishments.

My first 2 projects feature Correspondence Collection.

I have made an album for my Friend's Birthday entirely with the Correspondence Collection using papers 12x12 inches. I used out every single page :-) 

My album has 10 pages and covers.

The cover wears beautiful Carabella Rose Posy - fairy pink flowers, 

the leaves are made from the Ivory Mesh Ribbon, 

there is one metal Filigree flower 

and amazing Tim Holtz Pen Nib,

Every page is based on Correspondence papers embellished with stamps and some non-pop up details. 

All the pages and covers are distressed with brown ink. Love this Collection for the vintage look.

My second project is a card which matches with the album and is second part of the Birthday gift. 

I tried to keep it the most similar to the album as I could. 

The card is made from the same Correspondence Collection with the 4 x 12'' strips. 

I put the same flowers and leaves. 

I will be back soon with another inspirations. Have a great day!

Past Generations Layout by Cathi O'Neill

Hello fellow crafters!! 

Cathi here over in the USA right now visiting family, so this family heritage layout really was fun to make! I live in Ireland with my Irish husband, but I was born in the USA (Maryland) and have a great wealth of old images of my American ancestors thanks to one of my aunts who has taught me the love of genealogy!

For my first project I am using The Gentlemen Collection. The main paper I selected was A Gentleman's Automobile. The image I used is an actual family photo of my Great Grandfather, John Jones. This is a photo taken of him that just perfectly matches the paper!! I couldn't wait to use this photo when I saw the gorgeous design.

In the close up above you can see some gorgeous Megs Garden products!! I just love the amazing Meg's Garden Vintage Trinket Drawer Pull and Knobs! I think they really add a great edge to the masculine layout.   I used the 10 cm Paper Doily underneath the photo and added a gorgeous black and gray Silk & Organza Primula, two Latte Heirloom Flowers, and the lovely little Ivory and Chocolate Small Roses. I cut my Camel Mesh Ribbon in half to make a thinner ribbon to turn into a bow, the other half of the ribbon I tucked under the photo in a few areas for texture!

I used the vintage ads from the A Gentlemen's Ephemera - Cut & Create to layer under the photo, I just love that one of the vintage ads mentions St. Louis, that is where my Great Grandfather lived and where the photo was taken!! Perfect!!! I added some molding paste, masking, stamping and some simple alphas to finish off my layout and even used some strong Irish tea to color in my background!!

I really enjoyed creating my first project for Meg's Garden and hope that you liked it!!

Supplies from Meg's Garden:
