Happy Crafting, Elizabeth xxx

Bless You!

  I've updated my tissue box cover to match the mirror frame with the gorgeous Rustic Harmony papers and some Prima flowers.

Might make a couple more of these for Christmas pressies!!

Another Scrapbook page

 This is the matching page to the one I shared last week, I am so addicted to these papers, they are just gorgeous!

 I love the soft peachy colours and they work so well with my black and white pictures. This is my Uncle Gordon and I balancing on the staircase at the St Georges Hotel in Llandudno, with a huge crowd watching at the bottom. If you could read my lips I was saying, "don't let go of me"!

So as you can possibly tell I'm back in to scrapbooking again, all triggered off by these gorgeous papers!

Shabby Tea Box

 So when is a tea box not a tea box? When it's been recycled and given a new shabby chic image!!

 My box started life as one of a set, so more to follow when I've decorated them. I've been using up scraps of the gorgeous Rustic Harmony papers that I had left over, that weren't big enough to make cards with, but were too gorgeous to throw away! I stamped out some of the sentiments and inked them up with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, and used the left over flowers and leaves from my mirror project.

I'm going to enter this in to the Craft Place Challenge which is Shabby Chic.

Sunday Stampers #328 Autumn Leaves

o

I love Hel's theme this week over at The Sunday Stamper's "Autumn Leaves" there a hundreds of them in my garden, the price you pay for living alongside woods!Not that I'm complaining, the colour changes are fabulous, rusts, reds and golds, beautiful.

I decided to give my mirror a little makeover, well it was hugely expensive, from the big blue shop, have to get my monies worth lol. And thought I'd incorporate Hel's theme, with leaves and of course flowers.
This sheet of butterflies is one of the gorgeous Rustic Harmony papers, that I just couldn't  bring myself to chop up, so having such a big area to cover was far less painful, as there are lot's still showing :) and I have some left!!!!

All the flowers are Rustic Harmony papers cut out with the Mini Tattered Florals die along with leaves and twigs cut out with the Autumn Gathering die, love both of those. The edges are inked in Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink, to hive then a little more vintage feel, and pearls added to the centres of the flowers.

The stamps that match the paper collection are gorgeous and stamp out perfectly every time. Took a chance and added the "Laughter and Love" after I'd glued down the paper lol, would have cried if it all went wrong!
The butterflies and the "Live, Laugh, Love" sentiment were stamped onto cream cardstock and aged with Brushed Corduroy ink to blend in.
So there you have it, my new mirror frame, and I even managed to keep myself out of shot lol.
Happy Crafting Elizabeth xx

I'm also going to enter this into the Craft My Life Challenge Oct/Nov

Rustic Harmony from Kaisercraft

I've been catching up on making samples for my demo next month for Jones Crafts, and over the next few weeks I'll be sharing my projects here on my blog.
It's been ages since I did any scrapbooking, but when the gorgeous new Rustic Harmony papers from Kaisercraft landed, how could I resist!
The papers are all double sided, which makes choosing which side to use the hardest decision, as everything mixes and matches so beautifully.

The colours are so beautiful, soft and vintage, I didn't want to add too much else to them, just some plain card, Prima Flowers, pearls and cotton lace from my stash.

There are card embellishments and also a sheet of gorgeous clear stamps to match, which will make an appearance soon!
This photo is one of my favourites, my big Sister, my beautiful Mum and me scrubbed up! We didn't know the picture was being taken at the time, so it's very natural which I love.
Will add another page on soon, thanks for looking, Elizabeth xxx
