Jingle all the way ~ Megs Garden

Hello lovely friends, Today I am sharing a layout and Christmas Cards using products from Megs Garden.

Jingle all the way

I also wanted to show that A Christmas layout can be achieved without using Christmas themed PP. The Paper I have used for my layout is from Megs Lavande Range, but when combined with Ephemera from Megs new Christmas Range "A Twinkling Christmas" I think it works perfectly.

The Christmas baubles ,tinsel and stars are fussy cut from Megs Gardens  Twinkling Christmas Ephemera Sheet. The Tree and Reindeer are Kaiser Stamps and the flair is from Funky Flair Studio

As I have stated in a previous page , when our son in law is not present for the putting up of the Christmas Tree there is much debate and fun as to where his bauble is to be placed. Not sure how many years he has to be in the family for his Bauble to be placed in a prominent position lol. 
I also have been making my Christmas Cards from the "Twinkling Christmas" card pack. It sure makes life easy and the images are just gorgeous.
Today I will share a couple with you as they are on the blog today.

The Pattern Paper is already cut 6 x6 for you , see the image below

And the Ephemera sheets 

and then with the beautiful images from the Ephemera sheets , it makes creating your Christmas Cards so easy. You can find the Twinkling Christmas Range over at Megs Garden Shop and I also have links on my blog post at Megs 

Thank you for calling by, any comments are appreciated, they brighten my day .

A Great Friendship mulitplies the good in Life ~ Scrap the girls

Hello !
Today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Scrap the girls.
My daughters wedding is just a few short weeks away ( getting excited ) and I have started putting a album together for her. The challenge at Scrap the girls inspired me to scrap one of the photos from her hens get together a couple of weeks ago. 
The Sketch....

and this is my take on the sketch

I used "Wilted Violet " distress oxide and "Cracked Pistachio" distress oxide on a sponge to colour around the photo

Thanks so much for calling by, I hope your weekend is a beautiful one

Butterfly Kisses ~ Megs Garden

Hello !
Today I would like to share one of my DT layouts for Megs Garden.

Butterfly Kisses

I know this is a fave photo of my Granddaughter's with my Mum "Granma" as everyone called Mum, so I wanted to create the layout for my Granddaughter.
I have used the gorgeous In the Water Colour Garden Range from Megs Garden as the pattern reminded me of Lilac (it is prob Wisteria though) , but our family home had Lilac trees right around the perimeter , so when the bushes were in bloom the house was always filled with vases /jugs of Lilac.
Everything on the layout can be found in Megs Store, besides the purple flowers , which are from my Mum's Craft stash.

Thank You for calling by, I appreciate your comments and would love you to pop over to Megs Blog and leave some love as well.

Krakow ~ Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

Hello fellow scrappers, today I would like to share the new challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge with you. This month the challenge is to use the colour purple. You can create a layout, card , canvas whatever you choose. I decided to get another Travel layout documented and play with some mists.

I've also used some old rubons and added stamping.

The statue is of Adam Mickiewicz the greatest Polish Romantic Poet of the 19th Century and stands in the Main Square Old Town.
I would have liked to have had more time in Krakow, but unfortunalety we could not arrange the train from Budapest to Krakow as we had intended and had to change our travel plans which gave us a extra day in Budapest which was good  but only ended up with only a coupleof days in Krakow, which was not so good. I enjoyed the short time in Krakow, but know there was so much more to see.
I hope you join us in the challenge and get your purple on :) 
Happy Creating
Love, Peace and Kindness

Just Like a Butterfly I will awaken in my own time ~ Megs Garden

Hello fellow scrappers , today I would like to share a couple of projects for Megs Garden 
Firstly a layout using the new In The Watercolour  Garden Range, such a beautiful range!

For the link to the products I have used on the layout visit Megs Blog here

There is also a link to the entire range on YouTube . I have a daughter getting married next month and I think this range will be perfect.

The next project I would like to share is a memory journal I created for a Pen Pal . If you click on the link it will take you to the YouTube slide of the journal. I made the journal with Megs Gardens gorgeous products, which can all be found in Megs Shop 

Thank you for calling by,I really appreciate any comments.

 Meanwhile someone forgot to tell Winter to move along and Spring to come on in . I really don't like the cold, but not much one can do about the weather. Thinking of all those experiencing cyclones etc at the moment, so I shouldn't complain about a little cold. 

Love , Peace and Kindness

Blossoms and Bees ~ Kraft plus challenge

Hello fellow scrappers, today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Kraft plus. Which is ....

The prompt made me think of a photo I took at work a couple of years ago, so the perfect opportunity to scrap it. The thing I love about challenges it gets me to scrap photo's I might not have thought to do so.

This is my take

Blossoms and Bees

I also love it when I use old stash up.

Everything on the page is stash I have had for ages. The blossoms are old flowers from my Mums craft stash, Goodness knows how old they are. 

Thanks so much for calling by, I really appreciate any feedback. Have a wonderful week . It is  suppose to be Spring and it is freezing here !  Hopefully it will warm up soon and all these flues and colds will clear up that a lot of people are experiencing .

Love, Peace and Kindness
