wedding album

 my neice got married this month 

so i created this unique wedding album for her as my gift to her

i used 2 kaisercraft fairytale castles 

and added stampin up's beautiful love letter and newsprint designer series papers

along with a huge collection of accessories such as

ribbon, glitter, chipboard, antique tags, lace, brads, flowers etc etc
plus the obligatory stamps of course :>

normally when i do an album i usually keep it very simple and clean cut
but being the new year and wanting to try new things
i thought i would unleash my inner vintage/shabby chic/visual feast monster upon the world.

i also had limited supplies i.e. what i had brought with me to nz from sydney
so no zipping into the craft room to get stuff.
it also made me use what i had and think up different ways to use them.
i am glad i did this because it made me use a lot of my die cuts more and papers in different ways.

scroll on down for pictures of what it looked like inside....warning there are loads of them!!!!
if you see somethign you like and want to know how i made it or did it please feel free to ask :>

 

 

 

tomorrow i'll show you the card i made
and how i had to wrap it all up-that was a mission all in it's own!!!

cheers ears

elements of style take two!

 i am loving this new stamp set!

elements of style is $49.95 wood mount or $39.95 clear mount here in australia

and is a very versatile stamp set.

here i made a card for my su friend kari who had her birthday the other day.

i have clear embossed the squiggle stamp and then daubered over the top 

which looks way cool don't you think?

i have added the lovely jubbly black striped ribbon to it with a gi-normous bow!

 

here are some card swaps i made for my fellow inklings.

i was inspired my michelle zindorf

-the way she wields her brayer is quite magical!

each month or so we swap cards and atc's to gain expertise in all sorts of tricks and ideas

being part of a team and sharing ideas is one of the many reasons i love being a SU demo

if you would like to be part of my team please contact me today for more information

cheers ears
