Golden Tulle, Pink Ribbon, Vintage Brad and some flowers and leaves.

Good morning, I'm so happy you decided to visit Meg's Garden blog today.

Today I would like to show a project that is totally in my comfort zone, Clean and Simple.

The photo in this layout is made by my youngest daughter "Chimène", she love's taking pictures of

here self and I was so pleased that I could work with it.

Love You & Adore

For this layout I used the size 8.5"x 11", beside the beautiful Rose Quartz paper collection I used 

a pretty awesome Sizzix punch - it's a hart and this punch fits perfectly with this collection.

Gorgeous elements you can find in the Rose Quartz collection, brads, frames, butterfly's 

and amazing journaling cards. And almost all in same pink colors, some a bit darker 

and some a bit lighter.

Rose Quartz Card Duo

Hello everyone, it's Patti here with a card duo for you today.  I've taken pieces from the new Meg's Garden Rose Quartz Papercrafter and Cardmaker collections to create two cards for you.  Both will be shared, start to finish, on the video so I do hope you join me there.  All supplies will be listed directly below the video.

My first card is this gorgeous lady fussy cut from the Meg's Garden Rose Quartz Papercrafter collection.  I removed the middle from a paper doily and arched a section of it behind and in front of her on the left side.  Adding a piece of crocheted lace, with a pink ribbon woven through, across the bottom.

In her hair I've attached one of the pink antique brads.  These cards are 5" x 7' and have been built upon a white card base (Spellbinders Celebra'tions Whirl White cardstock).

To finish this card I wove two of the pieces I'd fussy cut from the paper together. I also backed them with pink to create just a tiny border around each.  I placed the cluster in the lower left.

The second card is the same size and has the same white card base.  For this one I focused on a middle cluster strip.  This consists of a strip of paper doily on the right, a folded piece of the antique pink lace on the left with a strip from the paper atop both in the middle.  I completed the cluster with a spray of the flowers, again fussy cut and backed with pink.  Tucked behind is a pearl spray, also from Meg's Garden store.  

To give the front a little pop I took a piece of the pink/brown ribbon and tied it into a small bow placing it atop my front sentiment.  The sentiments are from JustRite Stampers Sympathy Handwritten Sentiments.  

Here is the inside sentiment, again from the JustRite Stampers collection.  I cut the mat to house the sentiment from Spellbinders Nestabilites Decorative Accents Labels Forty-One.  I actually had to do this because I had first stamped directly to the paper and the impression was scattered, it didn't stamp well in some spots.  I restamped and die cut it and placed it atop the first impression.  Problem solved and the bottom mat saved.  

Please join me on the video where I'll show you how I make both cards start to finish.  Check out Meg's Garden for all the loveliness you see on my cards to create them for yourselves at home.  Don't forget that the paper is not only available cut and shipped but also instantly as a digital download.

My French Garden Book Kit by Kerry-Jean Watson

Hello Crafters 

I finally got to create something with The French Garden Book Kit. I have been out of action for a few months and feel a little rusty of paper crafts but I really like how this turned out. 

I used a file folder mini style for my book style, it was really easy and simple to make. I did change the dimensions of the book to fit the size of the papers from the book kit.

I really wanted to shabby chic this book with the cover especially and I had a lot of the metal embellishments from Meg's Garden in my stash, only they were ...well metal coloured and a bit dark, so I just covered them with gesso using my finger and I LOVE how they came out. There is a bit of everything on the come in terms of charms and metal embellishments really, some Finnabair pieces, some vintage brads, metal charms.

The flowers, lace and flower trim were also from my Meg's garden stash too, which added that gardeny feel to the book cover. 

The in side of this mini has lots of pockets which hold lots of mats and I have able to use of pretty much most of the paper ephemera with the library card pockets, little booklets and matts.

I hope you like this project and if you have any comments or questions please leave them below.

Moments by Heather

Hi everyone   A great big warm welcome here at Megs Garden   Today I have created another Layout  featuring the glorious new Correspondence collection

designed by Kerry-Jean Watson for Megs Garden

Here is my layout with the new papers. 

MOMENTS 

 I love to light candles each night and watch the dappled light create a soft relaxing atmosphere.

when I saw these papers I knew I would use this photograph .

I used lots of layering with diecuts .

These blooms work in perfectly with the theme .

a cluster of the rose buds, the small ivory roses 

with some diecut leaves . 

I cut this heart with the paper and then light rubbed on some Rusty hinge distress ink 

to create contrast ( these papers absorb the distress ink beautifully )

for the final touch I applied some crackle paint and a vintage brad . 

 lots of layering of diecuts with touches of Rusty Hinge distress ink .

more layering under the photo 

I find that the extra strips of matching paper 

are just fabulous for layering on my work .

Correspondence card

Hello Bloggers:

Kerry-Jean shares a card using the Correspondence Collection of papers:

I love using the new collection "Correspondence" for cards. Especially with the Butterfly Oval Laser cut frames which I coated in bronze embossing powder and the ever so pretty Gardenia flowers and paper Roses. The leaves are those delicate skeletal leaves which are quite stunning with these papers. I wanted to use the Sage Burlap ribbon to just break up the background and to add some more texture to the card. I just love those Tim Holtz Word Bands which fitted really well. I was going to add some butterflies however I went with the White and Grey Pearl Vintage Brads.  The paper doily is one of my own however there are some wonderful ones over on the Meg's Garden Store.

Fabulous card - well done Kerry-Jean. The embellishments used are perfect for your card background - just enough colour.

Bye for now

Kerry-Jean uses her Great Aunt on a Layout

Hello Bloggers

Kerry-Jean shows us her latest LO using her Correspondence Collection:

'I found a lovely old photo of my great aunt (my paternal grandmother's sister) and thought it would go perfectly with the Meg's Garden new paper collection I created called "Correspondence". I wanted to create a collection with vintage paper and old script handwriting and was able to find some photographed textures by Evelyn Flint that I played with digitally to get the finished look I wanted. Meg's Garden also has some fantastic flowers and charms I wanted to use and this was the perfect opportunity.'

The flowers I have used are the Oatmeal Colour Flower and the Ivory Heirloom 6.5cm and then the beautiful charms from Finnabair trinkets from Prima   for the leaves.  I also popped a Tim Holtz Pen Nib in there as well. There is some lace I had lying around behind the photo and the Sage Burlap 38cm worked really well. I just had to finish things off with the grey Vintage brad  on top of the metal embellishment.

A very gorgeous vintage LO - well done Kerry-Jean.  Love the layering you have done & the different textures you have chosen are amazing. The lace, burlap, flowers & metal really work well.

How much fun is it to work with your own papers?  Must be awesome!!

Bye for now

Hello Bloggers

Kerry-Jean continues using her papers:

I have many sheets of proof prints of portrait shoot my mother did as a young women, these are GREAT for scrapbooking.  The page I used for the background is one of my favourites of the Correspondence collection. I used Sage weave Cardstock for photos mats which just added another colour tone to the layout. 

I used some of the fantastic Dodo Vine wire as well as some of Finnabair's Prima Market trinkets which I just love using here and there, the leaves especially. The flowers are these beautiful Silk & Organza Primula, the Small Rose Blue and Cream and White Gardenias. 

This is another layout I did with those photos of my mother, I think she was pregnant with my older brother when these were taken but I am not sure. Again I have used  Finnabair's Prima Market trinkets with the leaves and metal embellishments and the Butterflies Transparencies. The flowers are a combination of the Small Blue Roses, Oatmeal Coloured Flowers and the Small Roses. The lace trim is Cotton Lace which is lovely and soft and works so well in the layout.

Two beautiful layouts - well done Kerry-Jean. Love the layers, touches of colour & the vintage trinkets. The addition of the blues & greens are perfect to lift the vintage.
