Artisian Embellishment Kit

 

Our New Seasonal Catalogue is packed full of beautiful product, but one that instantly caught my eye was the Artisan Embellishment kit. I am not sure if it's the beautiful vintage feel of the kit or the adorable embellishments that I love so much, but I couldn't wait to start playing with it.

I wanted to make a layout only using product in the kit, no pattern paper just beautiful embellishments. I masked off a chevron pattern and used a blending tool with Sahara sand & crumb cake ink to create the background. Everything is from the kit except the designer label frame (LHS) and the book paper hearts are  cut from the Fashionable Hearts Embosslits (125596 $20.95)

I am really happy with how the layout turned out and only took me an hour to put together. The sentiment I have stamped onto the tag is a New set from the Seasonal Catalogue, called Fell Goods (129684 $35.95) in includes 5 stamps each with a beautiful sentiment:-
 
  1. "the best things in life aren't things"
  2. "She believed she could....so she did"
  3. "Laughter is the shortest distance between two people"
  4. "a friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should"
  5. "those who bring sunshine into the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves"
 Kit Includes:-
  • 2 designer tags
  • 4 LOVE ticket stubs
  • 3 different types of lace
  • Seam binding ribbon
  • 6 paper flowers
  • 1 resin heart
  • 2 resin flowers
  • 5 buttons
  • 1 heart & 1 round paper doily
Cost $16.95
 
 
Happy scrapping

Brother's

 
I am often asked to share boy page ideas, yep there are no shortage of boy layouts in my albums.
This is a fun one I made a while ago at the Scrapboutique retreat.

I have used a Fancy Pants range, sorry I can't remember the name, chipboard title and glimmer mist splatters.

My sweet little boy

This photo of my sweet little son was taken by his family day care mum. She had it on the wall at her house all of last year as well as the small drawing in the pink frame. The perfect starting point for a quick and easy page. I wanted to remember some things he loves right now...favourite food, friends, what her wants to be when he is grown up.



Tutorial to Share

Hello to all my lovelies. Just a quick post today to let you all know about the tutorial I have put together for my sweet friends at Embellees. I still have the mixed media bug....but had lots of fun playing with Punches on this one.



You can find it here http://embellees.blogspot.com.au/2012/03/its-tutorial-time-birds-on-wire-canvas.html





Paper Punches & Photos

The Embellees team have be at it again and have come up with some fantastic layouts for our Paper Punches & Photos class. If you have been to their class you will know that they are all about teaching new techniques and reinventing the old. If you are anything like me you may have accumulated one or forty four punches over your time.....LOL yes I did count them. Oh I hope my hubby doesn't read this. I love punches and used them all the time in my cards and layouts, but one thing I love is using my tools in creative ways... you know when you stop and go WOW I would never have thought of that.




It wouldn't be an Embellees class without a little re purposing......you know our Lizzie!!! She has been off to Bunning's once again.....any guesses????








Due to classes being continually booked out...the girls have increased the capacity to cope with the growing demand. So if you have been putting of booking in....great news, there are a few spots left. Always a great day out and fantastic value at $60 for four layout including the kit. Hope to seen you there.
