Rosette Christmas tree

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place...two more sleeps to go and just a quick share of a project my Gorjuss Granddaughter and I put together!

Using my scoreboard I created rosettes of different sizes using kaisercraft "Silver Bells"

Then glued them together with buttons for spacers and a little fibres .....

Thanks for stopping by....wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

Silver Bells top hat

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place! 

Four sleeps til Christmas! Wow that went fast.......

If you are anything like me I just love this time of year with dear friends and family...some new ones and some that left! 

Loads of love and blessings all the same...

I really love to create so I decided our decorations were looking very pink and in need of more soft blue......this is something I've always wanted to do

Out came my last pack of "Silver Bells" by Kaisercraft 

I used good quality card stock to shape the top hat using glue and tape to fasten it together....

A selection of the papers,lace,appliqué,pearls,acrylic embellishments and bead work.....

Thanks for stopping by.....

Merry Christmas!

Altered frame "Silver Bells"

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place! 

Wow 2015 is coming to an end so fast.......

I've started classes which is going very well with in between fun creations. I wanted to share this one with you as its a lovely gift idea....

Starting out painting this pretty metal frame then adding a paper from the kaisercraft Silver Bells!

Followed by lightly rubbing on silver to the raised areas to give the appearance of aging!

I wanted to make something with these pretty buttons....so a Christmas tree was perfect!

Finished off with some stickles .....

Pretty Diary/journal

Hi everyone and welcome back to my happy place

 

Gosh hasn't the year gone really fast! so much happening for all of us and Christmas just around the corner.........

 

Kylie and I have been so busy with markets

and classes about to start.....so exciting!

 

 

 

I wanted to share with you all one of the lovely journals I created using a paper collection called "Sweet Delight"

 

Firstly I sort all the gorjuss pages to see which ones id like in each signature,

then cut to size with some plain papers.

 

 Once the cover is ready I cover with the same collection,

 some sticky canvas on the spine. then stitch in the signatures!

I like to leave the threads long so I can knot them and add a charm!

I had a play with resin a few weeks ago so I added one of the pearl butterflies to the cover for some interest!

 

 



Steam Punk Pocket Letter

 

 

Hi everyone and welcome back to my Happy Place!

 

This months Design Team Project for Tsunami Rose Designs

 is a fun project using the new Pocket Letter collection

 

As always a very easy process to purchase, download and print out your requirements.....

I love working with Daisy's Designs!

 

Once I had selected which pieces to work with I set about trimming the corners and inking edges for the aged look that I love so much!

 

I have also used a cog stencil and inked with Vintage photo for a shadow effect!

Then using cog die cuts and chipboard I have embossed with a mix of gold and copper!

 

Im loving the effects of vellum so I die cut a few small cogs and added to the pocket letter as well!

 

There are Alphabets in this collection so I cut out and inked my words!

 

 

For the finishing touches .....washi tape and a chain with steam punk themed charms!
