Mixed Bag

It dawned on me earlier today that I didn't have a few days to finish my page for this post, over at Imaginarium  that in fact I had less than 24 hours. So not to put stress on myself I thought I would cheat a little and post some cards that were made a while ago, a Layout as well as a new card.  I apologize if you have already seen these before but sometimes it is good to revisit  and re-inspire.

A mixed bag

 this layout was put in a frame and given to my sister in law

This card  is one of the Mens cards I will be teaching at Seriously Scrapbooking next Month

Using the new collection Top Hat and Automobiles

I can finish my page without stress and am looking forward to sharing next month 

 

 

 

 

 

Cloche Passion

 My passion for cloche's continue I think thou I have enough now. I have used for the main piece of my design is Billboard Window I however have altered it just a little to accommodate my love of dimension, I think thats why chipboard is so fantastic.

I have placed a gelatin sheet over the image to make it look like a window and a little bit of glitter as it is a shaker as well

 On the back is a removable little booklet held on with ribbon

 without the booklet

do you like the colours

well this is a preview of whats coming at Meg's garden very soon

  And for something completely different a male inspired card

My Way

After doing a class with Finibar in early March this year, I realy wanted to make a page using her technique, but make it my own.
so before adhering it together I sprayed the background card stock and the embellishments with Glimmer-mist and etc. I have become very fond of the filigree brass embellishments and am gathering a nice collection.

 The papers I used are

Dream Believe P6338

Summers's Dance P6337

Dome

Have been looking forward to sharing this project, but first I must tell the story behind it.
One day earlier in the year, I walked into the shop Seriously Scrapbooking, whilst Jane was teaching a class. previous she had told me about an idea she had about a project to be covered by a cloche which she had sitting on the table, I took one look at the cloche and wanted one. After seeing her idea come to life in the class I begged her for the base, so I could create my own version using the papers from Meg's garden.
All though mine looks different because of the papers, it is still the concept of Jane's and I have enjoyed using her base and the Imaginarium chipboard through out.

Here is a link to Jane's class a Victorian Dome here 

as she is still teaching classes on it I have decided to share mine as a project in progress so about once a month I will share the progression of my cloche the pleasurable thing is, I keep adding to it so mine is not quiet finished yet either.

Easel Time

Good Morning how quickly the weeks are  flying by, its was my turn to post again over at Imaginarium Designs .
Today I have two easel cards to share a little similar in style but still very different, using one of my favourite piece's of chipboard, as well as an attempt at a masculine page as well.

 this card I taught just recently at Serious Scrapbooking

  I have embossed the edge of the chipboard with embossing powder a couple of times to achieve the end result on the clocks

  I will admit that masculine pages and cards are not my thing.

I have used to create my cards and page,  Imaginarium chipboard and papers from Meg's Garden
