Glory of the Garden Tuxedo

I created this little "tuxedo pocket" from the beautiful 

Glory of the Garden collection.  

Maybe the little flaps remind you of a garden gate?  

I used ephemera from the ephemera pack to decorate 

the pockets and created tags to tuck in. 

 The intricate, beautiful stamps from the collection were perfect for creating 

a little extra something on the notepad and tag.  

A cut off "scrap" was used to make the big tag tucked in the back pocket.  

Such a gorgeous kit with which to work!!

Jane's Memoirs Junk Journal

The definition of stunning...Jane's Memoirs paper collection!

Every piece of this journal as it came together made me gasp

The design is just so beautiful, it's impossible to 

go wrong creating with it!

 I used all elements of the collection in this journal, lace, ephemera and stamps. 

This collection by Jen Bishop is one of my all time favorites!  And the journal design credit goes to Jen's Mom! 

 This journal will sit front and center in my craft room, 

so I can admire the beautiful paper collection! 

Thank you Jen, Jen's Mom and Blue Fern Studio 

for inspiring me with this gorgeous collection!

Pride & Prejudice

  Hello and welcome back! I have another layout using the Jane's Memoirs line for you today.

 I used a photo taken from the movie Jane Eyre trying to stay in sync with the paper theme!

I used transparent gesso to prepare my background. I then used a stencil and some molding paste for some texture and colored it with some mist from Shimmerz called Bed of Roses. I used one of the ephemera pieces to help frame in my photo. The colors were a perfect match.

I used the chipboard frame Emma's treasures and prepared it by painting it with white gesso. I then added some Pearl embossing powder to it to brighten it right up and when I was done heat embossing it I added some Distress Glitter in Rock Candy.

I made some flourishes and small flowers with a mould from Prima. The flowers I went over with the Bed of Roses mist and the flourishes I painted white and added some Distress Glitter to it in Rock Candy for some extra sparkle. I used blooms from Prima and 49 & Market. I also added two adorable flower charms from the collection and added some Perfect Pearls in the middle.

I also added some cheesecloth behind my flowers for some added texture. I sprayed the cheesecloth with Picket Fence mist from Dylusions to make the cheesecloth whiter and stiffer.

For my title I took the bottom part of the page (which usually gives the info about the collection) and cut the title of the paper out to use as my title of my layout. Waste nothing!! I also added some random pearls in pink and cream for extra interest.

And that brings this post to a close! I hope you like it!

All the best! :)
