Treasure


Here's my DT layout for January's sketch at My Creative Sketches. There's a fabulous prize to be won, as always, so do hop on over to the MCS blog and play along!


For my layout, I used papers from Prima's Fairy Belle collection, with flowers and vines also from Prima.


Using 3D foam dots, I created a raised "frame" with the papers, and also did some 3D layering of the squares and the photo for added depth.

Lovely. Beautiful. Darling - Mini-Album (Part 2)


Happy New Year everyone!

Remember the canvas box I made for my younger DD in November, which contained a little mini-album inside? I promised I'd post the inside of the mini, so here it is.


I made the mini using papers from My Mind's Eye's Follow Your Heart collections, which I also used to mount the photos. I then embellished the pages with flowers and trims, and metal and chipboard embellishments, from Prima, My Mind's Eye, Tim Holtz and 7Gypsies. And I also found Cosmo Cricket's Tiny Text journal stickers really handy! Here are the inside pages.







Thanks so much for dropping by, and have a lovely and blessed 2013! :)
