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.

Memories ~ Meg's Garden~

Hello everyone! I have another layout to share with you using this beautiful collectionfrom Meg's Garden called Lavande. It is just so beautiful to create with. I have another snapshot of my cousin's twin boys. They are seven months now. I am just amazed at the special connection they have.

To create my layout, I used the 12 x12 Lavande 07 and 11 papers. I inked the edges with Distress ink to vcreat an aged look. Using dimension foam tape adds dimension to the layers. I also cut of some of the 4 x 12 strips to make a tag and anything extra to the layout.

I had some ephemera left over from some of the other collections. It helped to add a vintage feel to the layout and to creat a focal point to the photo.

I also added some flowers and chipboard to my layout. I altered them either with white gesso or using Prima oil pastels.

When I created my background, I had some texture. I used a stencil and modelling paste plus two prima sprays. These are very subtle and you can see them if you look closely!
