I have managed to upload a new Video - woo hoo! It’s an add-on really from the very first video I posted on You Tube (well scrapbooking one anyway) which was about taking apart shop bought ’silk’ flowers and using them on scrapbook pages.
Well this one shows which is the best colour to buy (in [...]
My daughter (aged 6) asked me a very simple and resonable question last night at the dinner table. It was a question to which my reply was…
“Actually, I have absolutely no idea, and I’m not sure where, or if, I could find a definite answer!”
Trust a child to come up with a simplicity of life that [...]
Ok, I was just fiddling with this one! What to do with a couple of wet crumpled flowers? lol. I also cut some leaf shapes and roughly crumpled them to give some interest as the two flowers looked a bit odd on their own!
If you wish to see the video of how to make the [...]
This is a sweet picture of a little girl, and one that I would think, would definitely appeal to Grannies everywhere! Ooh, is that being ageist?
Anyway, I used a whole 6×6 piece here and border punched opposite sides and then put in graduated folds for interest. I suppose I got the idea so that it [...]
Simple, but made much more effective by the layering of a couple of contrasting layers of border-punched patterned papers.
I realise I said I would put these up “tomorrow” and it’s a bit later than that, but se la vie! I only have so much energy!
So here are the two cards I made using the left overs from the cards in the previous post!
My original idea was to create a load of cards for sale in the Tearooms, and to make a number the same so that I could make cards quicker. Well it didn’t really work because the papers I had bought only had one page of each design! Plus I was trying to use up scraps, [...]
This is just a small card - 4×4″, or a little over, I used all three Martha Stewart punches I bought as a set from QVC recently, on this one!
The Belly-band punch in the darker blue, the border punch in the middle at the top and the corner punch. I particularly like the way you [...]
The image for this card was fairly brown (ie, sepia as opposed to black and white) so I went with the colour theme on the background colour and the embellishments.
Another lesson in layering there… a bit of lace gathered into a flower with a flower on top (white one coloured with an ink pad) and [...]
So this image is the same as the last couple of cards, but I want to show you how the same picture can be used in many different ways, even more so when it is a black and white picture.
I have printed this image slightly smaller to fit this size card, which is only about [...]
