La Ronde de Noel

Ok, I know! I am indeed very very late in showing you this considering this was my interpretation of la Ronde de Noel for Les ateliers du scrap. Still you know what they say , better late than never! I have been soooo busy and still am so I have a few more things to add to the blog but will have to find the time to add them between two exams or essays to write! For now I hope you enjoy this lot!

Jewellery box

A little jewellery box created from cereal boxes , docraft paper flowers as well as flowers created with various sizzix dies. The owl stamp is from Leane Creatief  and the papers I used are my mind's eye "29th street market". The hinge is actually a brad from seven gypsies. It is about the size of a large card so ideal for decoration on a chest of drawers in a little girl's room (which is exactly where it's ended up I hear!).

Forum Christmas exchange

 These items were all part of my Christmas present from an exchange organised by les ateliers du scrap forum. All these lovely things were created by severine and in exchange I sent her what I produce according to the list we were provided with. We had to supply :
A room perfume with it's box
A soap in a pretty box
A nail file in its own case
A flower containing bath pearls to hand on the tree
A handmade box of chocolate
A christmas card and a tag to put on the tree (the last two got put away with the xmas deco before I remembered to take a picture!

The colour theme was  (you guessed it !!) white with a hint of colour.

I hope you will agree with me but Severine surpassed herself. I loved all of it!

Molly's Birthday

This was my daughter's birthday card.  She loves everything "cute" and there is no denying this little Sarah Kay stamp comes under the "cute" category! The birthday label was stamped and cut out. The background of the card was embossed with a sizzix folder from the dots and flower set. The images were coloured with promarkers. This was a quick project but I thought the results were quite nice and simple. My daughter liked it anyway!

Just a little card...

This card was made with background papers from My Mind's Eye "29th Street Market". The flowers are a selection of docrafts paper flowers to which I added holographic glitter glue. The butterfly is a Cheery Lynn die cut that I inked to give it some depth. I used a stamp from My Paper World: "labelling Fields" (art. no 4003 003 00) which I embossed with Wow embossing powder "Earthtone Olive". All the edges are inked in Rangers "Walnut" distressed ink. The flourishes are marianne creatables, not sure of the reference as I lost the packaging but it is a fairly easy one to get hold of. So there you have a little card on its way to wish my partner's daughter a happy birthday indeed!

Mai ATC exchange

Here is the ATC I received all the way from Polynesia from Okéalor. Lovely colours and very pretty. Thank you Okéalor, I love it!

Vintage birthday card

Here is a large vintage birthday card for a friend of mine. I know she's very fashion conscious so I am hoping she will like it! I printed the background paper from a label I downloaded off the Graphics Fairy website and I think the mannequin is also from her site.  I printed it on normal printer paper and then aged it with antique linen distressed ink from Ranger. The mannequin is a Tim holtz die cut and so is the bobin.  The border at the bottom is a Cheery Lynn border die cut which I inked with vintage photo ink again by Ranger.  I used the ame ink to distress the edges of the card too.  The top right corner was stamped in vintage photo ink with a WOW stamp called "Vintage Wallpaper" (stock code: STAMPSET12). The flowers are Dovecraft "Paper Blossoms" in natural colour.  The butterfly was given to me during an ATC exchange with the girls from Les Ateliers du Scrap. So that's it really, I hope you like it!
