Ventian Dreams

As some of you will know- I love creating themes for our Christmases in NZ. This year I picked Venice. Here are some photos of the christmas crackers I made. And some of the table decked out with the masks I decorated. We ate an Italian feast... and in classic Italian fashion took all afternoon and evening to eat it, finishing with tiramsu and grappa.
I've also added a little video my mom took of the table.

Mini Raspberry Delight

I've made this cute mini scrapbook, from paper bags!! I've bound the bags, to form the binding, and covered the pages with Raspberry Tart DSP. Made tags in Rich Razzleberry and Melon Mambo, these tags fit into the pockets left by the bags. It makes a gorgeous little pressie for someone.
Cardstock: Melon mambo, Rich Razzleberry
Ink: Melon mambo
Punch: two step bird
Ribbon:Melon Mambo
Stamp Sets: Sentiments from:- Always, Whimsical words, Baroque Motifs.

Vintage Feel

I've made this Scrap "page" on a block of MDF, To get the image onto the block, I've transfered it using the acrylic paint method. I've then decorated with embossing powders, and one of my favourite stamp sets Baroque Motifs.
I love how it's turned out, the photo is my great grandfather. Let me know what you think.

Just -Add- Ink Challenge JAI8

The Just add Ink Challenge this week has been to make anything with an Easter Theme. I wanted to make a card that reflects that here in the Southern Hemisphere we are moving to Autumn. So I chose yellows, oranges and browns rather than the more traditional pastel colours. I'm really pleased with how this card has turned out.
If you would like to learn how to make a similar card, then contact me to book your workshop.
