Ooh La La - Mini Album
Hello paper friends, Jo here again.
I have to say I am loving the new Ooh La La paper range. It is perfect for old pics. I had some all photos of my mum when she was a little girl tucked away in an envelope and this paper range was calling for me to make a mini album.
This post is a little photo heavy but I hope you enjoy.
On the cover I have used one of the ephemera die cuts from the pack and also the Nested Labels Set.
I also found that some of the mixed primrose flowers from the Seasons Greetings collection went perfect with the collection.
On the spine of my book I used the pretty lace and velvet ribbon from the ribbon and lace pack.
So before I added my photos to my pages I made little paper clusters and added some ephemera and also a heart doily. I kept the embellishments very simple with just a couple of flowers.
I have tucked the other die cut from from the Intrinsic & Ornamental Set behind this photo on the left hand side
On the right had side I created a pocket. As I was going through the photos I found a few of them had my dear nans hand writing on the back so I didn't want to stick them down. Those are precious memories! So a pocket was the perfect place to house them.
The right hand side of this page has a little flip page. Underneath is another little cluster of papers and a photo. The flap underneath is blank for journaling.
This page on the right also has a flap that opens to the left
Here is a pic with the flap open. Underneath those two tags is another pocket to house them in. I have left the back of my tags blank for journaling.
This photos is a favourite. It is a photo of my nan and pop and my mum. They all had their Sunday best on as the queen was in Perth in 1954 and they went to stand on the side of the road to wave at her!. Those little tags are from the ephemera pack and I have left them there so that my mum can journal on them her memories of that day.
I have made a belly band on the left of his page to hold another couple of photos.
The page on the left I have kept very simple. I love this little embellishment! I used some cardboard and cut two of one of the Intrinsic & Ornamental Set. I then covered them with gold embossing powder. I did the process twice and it has come up looking like a real metal embellishment!
Another simple page for the last one in the book.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Until next time

Funky Folds Cards with Ooh La La
Hello friends!
Its my turn today to share with you all what I have been up to.
I have been playing with the beautiful Ooh La La collection. This collection is full of lovely ephemera and papers and the dies are soooo pretty.
I decided to make some cards. Because it was all so pretty I wanted to load them up with all the pretties so I made some funky folded cards.
I love making these cards as you then have a few places aside from the front of your card to really go to town and get all that yummy stuff on!
The dies from the collection that I have used are the Nested Labels Set and the Lace Nonet. The Nested Labels was what I used as a base to start and layer up all the ephemera.
The Lace Nonet I have used to trim the sides of the card in the back of the photo.
Here is a close up of each card.
Thanks so much for stopping by and all your lovely comments.
Until next time

Wild and Free
Hello paper friends!
Just a quick post today to share with you some of my work for Couture Creations with the new Wild and Free collection.
My first thought when I seen these papers was "ooh I don't have any African photos or zoo photos but I found that the papers worked perfectly for boy photos too.
Thanks for stopping by
Until next time

Perfect Moments with Ooh La La
Hello paper people!
I have been lucky enough this month to have a play with the newly released Ooh La La collection.
Oh my this collection is seriously lovely!
The brown and cream tones go perfectly with old heritage photos but also work for everyday scrapping too.
So I chose an old pic of my dear mum and her puppy and it teamed perfectly with the new collection.
This collection is truly beautiful. Lots of stunning dies and they are so intricate. I have used the Ornate Entrance set. I love how this looks tucked under the photo. You will also see a die cut from the Intrinsic & Ornamental set poking out from the top of my photo. Teamed up with both of the ephemera packs and it makes scrapping such a joy!
So I decided to try something a little different. Have you seen our new stencils by Anna Griffin? Now I'm not much of a mixed media buff but decided I would try them in a different way and trace around the stencil and then hand stitch.
It seemed like a great idea and I love the end result, but oh my it was alot of work!
Here is a quick pic tutorial on how I created the stitching effect.
First I traced around the stencil with a pencil on some scrap paper.
The using my "pokey tool" I pierced little holes all around the outline. I hand stitched with a running stitch over the pattern.
Here is a closer look at the stitching details.
I was also lucky enough to have a play with the new Anna Griffin pigment powders. Now these are LOTS of fun to play with.
I just took a little bit of the powder out of the pots, mixed with water and a paintbrush and then painted my flowers. They are so shimmery in real life!
Thanks so much for stopping by and for all your beautiful comments. We truly do appreciate it.

Together We Have It All
Hi there paper peeps!
I have been having another little play with the very pretty Sea Breeze range.
The ephemera pack has been sitting looking at me with those pretty little bathing beauty ladies and I really wanted to incorporate them on a layout.
So this layout came about very quickly. I decided to pull out my scraps of Sea Breeze paper from the collection pack, started fussing cutting the ladies from the ephemera pack. Die cut a couple of dies using the Cardinal Frame die and also the Flourish from the Sandy Frame and Flourish die set.
I grabbed my white flowers (the big blue one is coloured with the gorgeous new Anna Griffin Pigment powders) So shimmery and pretty. Tucked in a little metal trinket and added a charm at the bottom.
Here is another close up for you. I absolutely love how this turned out. I was so happy I could use those vintage ladies with a modern photo and still stick to my style of scrapping.
Until next time

Be Merry
Hello friends!
Today I have a Christmas layout to share with you all using the very bright and very different BE MERRY collection.
Yep this paper line is a little bright so its perfect for those fun filled photos at Christmas time!
Here's my layout
Yep its a little different. Lots of bright colours and not a flower in sight!
Here's how I came up with this layout
First grab some supplies
I then placed some of the patterned paper from the 12 x 12 paper pad at the top and bottom of my page. I also tucked under some glitter paper just to give it a little sparkle. Seriously this glitter paper is AWESOME. Not only does the glitter stay put dies cut through perfectly!
Then using one of the new 4 x 6 stencils in the range I added some stars in the white space
Once that is done is just a matter of clustering up some embellishments and of course adding a doily. Yep for me no page is complete without one. This one is called the North Star Doily set.
Here is a couple of close up pics.
Just to give my page a little more texture I have added those super sweet gemstones that match perfectly and also hand stitch across the tops of the papers.
Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope I have inspired you to have a go with this fun collection.
Until next time
