Video Tutorial - Budget Blooms to Scrapbooking Flowers in Minutes

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 [...]

Simple Question - No answer!

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 [...]

Day 18 - A Different Type of Card!

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 [...]

Day 17 - folded layers Card

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 [...]

Day 16 - Blue and the Big hat again

Simple, but made much more effective by the layering of a couple of contrasting layers of border-punched patterned papers.

Day 15 - Using up the left overs for Vintage Cards

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!

Day 14 - 2 for the Price of 1

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, [...]

Day 13 - Lady with a Big Hat!

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 [...]

Day 12 - Sepia Tone Card

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 [...]

Day 11 - One more for the Road

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 [...]
