Peekaboo Flowers.

I made this layout at a crop quite awhile ago.

The pictures are from Valentine's Day right before we went out to see The Vow.
Gold glitter splatters, pearls, and flowers!

I added a pocket behind the pictures with some journaling in it + the ticket stubs. 

A detail shot.
I love that woodgrain chipboard piece from the Crate Portrait collection!!
I layered vellum, white tissue paper, vintage sheet music, vintage lace, a feather, a doily, and a glassine envelope to hold journaling.
The diecut flowers are from Pink Paislee's London Market Ephemera. So adorable!

TFL!

The Robin's Nest Design Team

My project for The Robin's Nest Design Team! Check out the online store here. 

A page that shows my true scrapbooking style :)
Everything is layered on a sheet of white Swiss dot cardstock.
I included gold glitter splatters (made with my fave glitter, Martha Stewart Smoky Quartz).
I typed "perfect together" onto a sheet of vellum using my typewriter, (Yes! You can run vellum through your typewriter!) I cut the vellum to fit my picture, ripped off the top edge for a raw look, then machine stitched it directly onto the photo.
I've layered tissue paper, a piece of a doily, a patterned paper strip, flowers fussy cut from Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic Beautiful paper, lace fabric, patterned paper, and a kraft envelope.
The border at the bottom of the page is vintage lace that I sewed on.

Detail of the kraft pocket with journaling card.
To make the twine circle I first traced a bowl lightly in pencil, covered the line in glue using a glue pen, then adhered the twine to the glue.
The little white pearls were made using my Opal Viva Decor Pearl Pen. 

All the layers...2 of them are lifted with pop dots for depth.

Thanks for looking!! 

Hedley.

A page documenting the Hedley concert I went to with Mathias <3

Picture of us waiting for the concert to start.
Lots of imperfect machine stitching :) The best kind. 

Details of layering. Love the way white tulle ruffles look!
I did some heat embossing on this layout. I used my music note roller stamp from Stampin' Up  and embossed with gold embossing powder. 

I added a small kraft envelope behind the picture/layers and filled it with a card with journaling on it and a ticket stub.
The pull-out tab is just a strip of patterned paper folded in half and stapled. 

Wide Open Spaces. (White spaces...)

Page share :)

A page with lots of white space, my favourite. Complete with glitter splatters and a vintage doily!
And I have been hoarding that October Afternoon date label for ages.

Layering details. Paper, tissue paper, chipboard, glitter, and machine stitching.
I first machine stitched the photo, and then layered it over the polka dot patterned paper  with 3D glue dots  to make it stand out.

I used a card cut out of patterned paper from the Echo Park line, This & That, Charming.  THC26004 Primer, these cards are perfect for any project! Just love them. 
I wore out the stiff paper a bit just by squeezing it in my hand then added mini alpha stickers to make a title.

Thanks for checking out my blog!!

Oldies but goodies.

Wow! It's been awhile.. :)
I HAVE been creating, just not sharing on my blog so much due to my primary photo-editing site closing down. I'm going to try and be a more faithful blogger now that I've found a new one. ;)

Today I'm sharing a few pages from last month that haven't been shared.

#1

For this one I used the Simple Stories Documented Collection. 

#2

Sweet Mila :)
A silver doily and glitter splatters!

A detail photo of the "M". I diecut an uppercase M from patterned paper and then covered it in liquid epoxy.  A homemade embellie :)

#3

I used a lot of Crate paper goodies on this one, mostly the Portrait collection. 

A bit closer up.
I am loving metallic silver thread on projects lately. So fun!
And that Crate button? Swoon. I need 20 more.

Now that those are out of the way, I can share some recent creations :) Ready?

Breath of Fresh Air

A page using the new Prima Almanac papers. They have such a nice feel and are amazing to work with!

I added a mini paper bag behind my photos to hold journaling.

To make the glittery background behind the papers I stamped a text stamp using glue, then sprinkled glitter over top.
The pink butterfly was cut out of one of the patterned papers.

Fresh Yellow

I wanted to do a page with fresh Spring colours, and what better colour than sunny yellow?

This page features my cousin Mila.

These Pink Paislee letters were actually a very bright, vibrant yellow. The brightness clashed with the photo, so I toned them down by brushing them with a coat of thinned out white paint.
