Time After Time

 Good Morning

love the peace of the early morning which is fading away very quickly,  as the dew starts to dry and the heat from the sun shines through. lots to do first thing in the morning before the heat comes so I have a quick share before I head on outside, to my garden.

We have been creating and preparing for a visit to Bendigo in March for from Picture to Page. So today I am sharing just one of my Acrylic tags I have made we will have these in a kit to purchase for the weekend this is just a sample of what we will be bringing.

My tag and card, I have used my Cogs of Time paper collection this range suits scrapbookers and card makers and generally is a fun collection. 




The acrylic tag has been engraved and the engraving has been painted black. Another alternative is to use a stencil with texture paste, always looks good so many ideas and techniques can be used on these tags I have also enjoyed using rice paper adhered to the tag, but that share is for another day.
we have teamed my project with a Finniber resin Mould painted silver. 
My inspiration for my corset has come from mannequin decorated with lots of branches and foliage to simulate a dress, here I have used my  delicate branch chipboard.



Unfortunately my photos have not captured the depth of this tag need to be seen in person, if you have the time and ability to head to Bendigo come and say hi that would be fantastic.

Meanwhile I must head on outside and start my day lots of prep to be done.

Happy Sunday 

thanks for visiting

Welcome ladies to ourTeam

Today we get to welcome three lovely ladies to our Design Team I am very excited and lucky to have these ladies use my products. am looking forward to lots of Inspiration ahead of us so please take our next part of creating Journey with us 
Stay tuned for some more awesome projects ahead.

Welcome Sonia Langosch

I am married and a mum to a miniature Dachshund Maxie who is the apple of my eye who loves to sit with me whist working on my next project. 

Being  visually impaired has never stopped me from following my passions. I have worked in many different industries,  administration roles, as well as 5 years in a retail role for an Australian Fashion Designer. I am  also studying complimentary medicines, Including Reiki, Bowen Therapy and Kinesiology. 

Colour and design have always played a big part in my life whether it be decorating my home, what I wear,  and my many crochet rugs made for family and friends or just simply colouring mandalas. I found my passion for card making 8 years ago when my sister took me to a card making class. Being visually impaired has its challenges however I knew after this first class that somehow, I could make this craft work for myself so my journey commenced. 8 years on I am still passionate and love designing my own projects and being part of a fantastic creative team.

Cogs of Time

 

Good Morning I spent all day yesterday crafting making gifts for Christmas, my cards are almost done feeling just a little organized, and pleased my house or mainly craft room smells of my oils I used for making my Christmas candles, every year I embark on this task no fail my husband always asks, what's that smell? Hope everyone is close to being organized for  Christmas or shall I say all of what December can bring. I am looking forward to playing and creating non Christmas related projects taking those ideas out from my head. Tina has done just that with her awesome Scrapbooking page, I can feel some inspiration coming on hope you do too.

Welcome back Tina, to the blog today

Happy Sunday crafters. 

Here is my first project using the stunning Cogs of Time paper range. 

  • I started by fussy cutting out elements from The Elements sheet and Travelling in Style papers. 


  • I then added crackle medium over a couple of the clocks. 
  • I then took the postcards paper and used as my background. I stamped some script in blue and clocks in brown. I layered up my papers using foam tape in places. 
  • I used Overcast and Time Warp behind my photo. 
  • I took the Cogs of Time chip board and embossed with brown and then added some gold highlights. 

  • I then grabbed a cog and embossed in blue and cut in half and tucked behind my layers. 
  • I lastly added some faded denim distress spray splatters and vintage photo splatters. 



  • thank you for stopping by

    Blue and white Christmas


    Happy Sunday

     as we are getting closer to Christmas we are starting to think more about making festive cards and if you have to mass produce you want to go with simple but stunning Julie is on the blog today with just that these two little beauties Julie has taken the time to make a video on her You Tube with the link below take a visit to find out a little more about these cards 

    hop on over to the website where you will find the Poinsettia die Julie used Web site

     Good morning


    Today I have got two Christmas cards to share with you, 
    using Glory patterned papers from the Elegance Collection by Denise Boddey.

    They are not traditional Christmas colours but I think they
    work well for Christmas cards.



    They are both fun fold cards.
    The first is a mixture of an easel and stepper card and the second one is a gatefold card.

    Full instructions for creating these cards can be found on my YouTube channel and I will put a 
    link to the video at the end of this post.


    A fussy cut image from the Christmas card topper 
    pack embellishes the gatefold card. Such a cute image
    The card toppers come in a pack of three A4 sheets with lots of images for you to fussy cut.
    I have used a Poinsettia die to create the white flowers on the first card
    I have added a coat of Wink of Stella Clear and a Champagne gem 
    to the centres of the Poinsettia for a bit of sparkle

    Both of the cards are 5 1/4" square


    Here is the link to my video you tube

    Till next time
    Have fun and stay safe

    Sneak peak

     My exciting new collection Cogs of Time coming very very soon.

    Today Julie is sharing her very first play with this fun collection, this will be the first of many fun projects made with this colourful collection. 

    Welcome Julie



    Hi there

    Today I am sharing two cards I created using the 
    beautiful new paper range from Denise Boddey Designs.

    It is called Cogs of Time and is a gorgeous steampunk range






    These cards came together so easily because the papers do all of the hard work for you.

    The cards are 5.25" square.

    The chipboard I have used is also from the Cogs of Time range and goes with everything.

    Lots of fussy cutting the beautiful images to create the focal points for my cards.

    I have also included some avocado dyed gauze (cheese cloth) 
    and some Wink of Stella for a little sparkle.

    I will add sentiments when I decide what I will use these cards for.
    I think they are suitable for any occasion.

    Here is my process video

    Cheers
