Frame a thought...

I created a very similar frame for a kid's birthday party class. It turned out that I really liked it! I then decided I would make another one with a few differences. I love the paper (So what's new??) and made some organza flowers to add to it. I love the saying "It takes courage to grow and become who you really are" mmmmm food for thought... I added a bit of glitter (of course) and the obligatory tiny bit of blingf. You can find this frame in my madeit store, just click on the button to the top right of the page, it will take you on a non stop trip right there! :)

Bookmark Card (FOR SALE)

Here's a lovely card. It has a nice detachable bookmark. It's just soooo pretty! What a great gift when giving a book or as a small token thought for someone when just sending a card. The card background paper is gorgeous and the bookmark tag is a divine print of a soft pink Hydrangea with some lovely script in the background. I have attached a sweet lace tail with a diamente pin.

It's in my store so click on the link at the top of the page to see! I will be adding more of these as soon as I get the time...haha

A trip to the Beach (Commissioned and SOLD)

I was asked to make this card for someone who loves the beach. I am happy with the result. The paper is simply beautiful. I have added some white beads, a silver heart charm all on a raffia tie.

In the bottom corner I have cut out and added 3 shells with foam dots to give them a 3D effect.

Have a look at the quick video (only 1 minute)on my You tube, it's Video 29. The music almost transports you to some remote island and you can just about feel the warm, soft sand between your toes...go on...you deserve it...it's cheaper than a holiday!

Learn Love Dream Inspirational Mini Album (FOR SALE)

The photo will slide behind this sentiment and it will sit over the corner of the photo or you can put a smaller photo on the page.

This picture above looks pink for some reason but it is actually white!


Well as some of you may notice by the link at the top of the page, I have just recently started selling my items in my new online store *clap clap *. The link is above and it is part of an online handmade marketplace called MADEIT. All items on MADEIT are handmade and are for sale.

This inspirational mini album will be for sale as soon as I can get the time to upload the pics.

It was made from 6 black envelopes and will hold 20 - 25 photos. The inserts inside each page hold 2 - 6x4 photos, one on each side. A few photos may need to be ever so slightly trimmed to fit the page. The flowers, cut outs etc. are only adhered one side and room has been left for the photos to slide underneath the embellishment, so they sit neatly over one corner of the photo.It is full of inspirational quotes and colours to make your mouth water... It would be perfect for a birthday or someone leaving school perhaps or a gift to inspire someone?

The front cover has some lovely charms, a heart, a set of keys (to a happy life perhaps?), and a star. They are sitting alongside some gorgeous beads, nestles in organza ribbon and a little bit of bling on the cover.

The lovely flower is accompanied by sweet lace leaves and sits beautifully on the cover.

Perhaps it could hold photographs of friends or people who inspire or maybe an event (18th, 21st?, engagement?), end of school, anything really. Hope you like it. I also hope to see at my store *wave wave* I will only make one of these so it will never be recreated.

Where flowers bloom

I love this page. I wanted to use lots and lots of dimension. So I have about 3-4 dimensional layers her. It was a lovely page to create but very time consuming. I used Little Yellow bicycle papers and heaps of foam dots. Heaps of them! I love the trim, it's so gorgeous and a wonderful colour. The butterflies seem to have just landed there and are still fluttering their wings. I did a lot of cutting and layering and lots of thinking and repositioning. Jostling everything to get it in it's correct place was a bit of a trial but it worked out in the end I think. I hope you like it. You can see a montage of photos on my You Tube, it should be Video 27 I think? Enjoy.

Cute Birthday Card

Here's a cutie. Simple but I love these colours. I made this for a little girl who is 10 but is just starting out and loving the world of scrapbooking. I hope it will inspire her a little. This paper is from a previous post "Bundeena" layout. They are My Mind's Eye - So Sophie and My Mind's Eye - Alphabet Soup. It's gorgeous and not colours that I would usually choose but every time I use them I love the result. I punched flowers and used them back to back and folded the petals give them a 3D look. I used twine in the button holes and lots of foam dots. Hope you like it. :)

Quick Card

Here's a card that I made for my friend and her family as they have just moved into their new home.
I love the stamp set, it's called Butterfly Garden by Pink Paislee. I thought it was nice to put the 3 dimensional butterfly on the front as if it had "landed" in it's new home. The little tag was dyed with tea and coffee and I used cotton twine to tie it on. The border punch and the pearls up in the corner made all the difference I think. You can view it on my You Tube videos to the right hand side of this page (just click on them) and the videos relating to this card are numbers 23 and 24. Have a look, maybe you will find some inspiration. It's a great stamp set to have, I have used it many times.

Happy creating!
