Sparklets

Bought some Sparklets today. They look so much prettier in real life than in photos, so be sure to check them out when your in your local scrap store.


I made this card using a my minds eye paper pad and basic grey alphas. And of course some sparklets.

I have been working bit by bit on some beyond the page projects so fingers crossed there is something to share soon!

I made this using the paper pad from Secret Bird Society


I think when I get my hands on the new Hunt and gather papers I might have another go. Until then this is sitting above our "heater-place" and I'm enjoying it

Inspiration

Today I was seriously inspired by a card made by Kristina Werner. To check out more of her work and the video of her making this card head over to her blog. Below is her card.

I loved the design and have substituted in some papers and other elements I had to create my own card. I have left out the main sentiment across the top because my sentiment is stated in my paper ribbon. I made this first card using a paper pad from Sassafras Lass that I've had sitting around for ages. I love the papers but I am finding it super hard to create anything using this colour palete. I thought a sketch might be the way to go but I wasn't to happy with how it came out. The photo is a little yellow (should have waited for daylight to photograph it) but the colours of the card are about the same as in real life.

I decided to have another crack at it and instead used a bright paper pad from My Minds Eye - Lime Twist. Love these papers, so bright and happy. And I love the cute little kites too! Am pretty happy with the final turn out but think a bolder background may have looked bettter than these letters.

Maybe I'll have another go tomorrow because as you know third time's the charm!!

Christmas Pudding

Here's a christmas project I made last year that I loved! And believe it or not I didn't use any Christmas themed papers. I had plenty to pick from but I wanted to keep it looking like a plum pudding. So I put emphasis on the shape and colours rather than overwhelming the album with patterned papers. I love these chipboard letters - they are so versatile! I paint them, ink them, cover in glossy accents and even stamp patterns onto. That way you can mix and match to fit any project. Sweet!!

I might have to get inspired and start working on christmas projects for this year. I always run out of time!!
