Friends ~ Meg's Garden

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a layout that I have made using some papers from Meg's Garden. This collection is called Sherlock II A New Case. It very vintage with some grungy elements to it. If you would like to create some masculine projects, this is the collection for you! However, it can still be used to create very pretty projects accompanied with flowers and vintage embellishments.

I fussy cut this cluster from an ephemera sheet from the collection and adhered it using foam tape. I used some Blue Fern Studio chip board as an embellishment and altered it with some Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder.

I used lots of Prima flowers in this layout as well as their textured stamps in my background.

The title is a chipboard piece from 2Crafty.

To add a vintage feel to my layout I inked all of my edges using distress ink and also added these metal cogs.

Dream Layout

Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a layout with you that features papers from the brand new collection from Meg's Garden named Lavende. It's vintage and beautiful.

To frame my photos, I used beautiful flowers from Meg's Garden along with some chippies from my stash. I altered all of the chipboard pieces by stamping them with Versamark ink and heat setting them with white embossing powder.

I love this little bird cage with the birds! I used white gesso as a base coat before I coloured the pieces in with Prima oil pastels. To add a vintage touch, I stamped a script stamp over my bird cage and title.

Remember When ~ Maja Design Moodboard ~

Hello everyone! Today I have a layout to share with you. Each month, Maja Design has an moodboard to inspire you to create a project that is related to a theme.

And here’s a little reminder of what our mood boards are used for…
Definition mood board – n
a board used by designers on which samples of various colours and textures are mounted to help in deciding which elements complement each other
We are using mood boards for our challenges. We truly believe in creativity and art at Maja Design. You are free to interpret the mood boards in any way you’d like. They are supposed to set you in an inspirational mood without too much controlling. We would like you to be inspired by the poems, words and photos. They are not given rules, they are just there as inspiration. They are all inspired by a Maja collection, but you are free to use any Maja papers you’d like as long as they follow the colour scheme. We highly encourage you to follow the theme of the mood board as well.

Here is the September Moodboard 

I chose to use a photo from a trip I went on a few years ago to Thailand and Singapore. I am pictured at the top of the Marina Sands Hotel (I am terrified of heights...this was as close to the edge as I was going!) It was an amazing trip. I had to battle my fears quite a lot....you only live once! This trip was in the Christmas holidays right before school resumed (I am a teacher) so I needed to make the most of every momenet.

Here are some close ups..
