SECRET MYSTERY BOX & MINI JOURNAL with new PARIS CHIC COLLECTION

Hello Everyone,

Liz here today showing you the new PARIS CHIC COLLECTION.   I was lucky enough to be given the new Journal pack in this wonderful collection.

But first let me tempt you with a 'Secret' mystery box that I created to hold the mini journal using Paris Chic.

And Meg's Garden new Box Handle Arch and decorative lock.  Stunning items don't you think?? Then I was inspired to do a little Decoupage on the lid, with papers from Paris Chic and Vintage Beauties.

Now for a little side view and inside peek.


I made the little Journal from a couple of 12x12 album page inserts, then set about decorating my Journal.
Some special brass corners and metal hearts.


Meg's Garden lace and ribbon really set the Journal off.


Meg's Garden heart shaped doily and beautiful floral ribbon.
 You will notice that I used a little 'Inca Gold' in gold to edge a few of the cutouts, which gives a real vintage look to the pictures.

Finally a little fussy cutting of the flowers and here is the end.

I hope you have enjoyed our little visit through Meg's new Paris Chic Collection and be sure to check out more HERE.

Thanks for taking the time to look and until next time........happy creating. ....Love Liz.

A TWINKLING CHRISTMAS' - A CARD WITHIN A CARD , BIRTHAY CARD and XMAS GIFT BOX

Good morning everyone,

Liz here with you, once again showcasing Megs beautiful range of  'A Twinkling Christmas' and how versatile it is with other Collections.

A CARD WITHIN A CARD
 Now for a closer look.  I love making with card, as it is a little surprise packet, especially using  this new Collection 'A Twinkling Christmas'.
  This beautiful collection has such stunning images and suit this type of card quite well.  Meg's Christmas bell is unique and so delicate. Along with the ribbons and trim.  The little star I had in my stash which I heat embossed with some gold and glitter and perfect for keeping the card closed.
Now open, the card has a little surprise.
 A bit of fussy cutting of the little cherub, stocking , bauble and ribbons to make it bounce of the card.

                                                             BUTTERFLY KISSES

I created this Birthday card for our little granddaughter and used 'Spring Pastels', along with A Twinkling Christmas Ballerina.


                                                              
                                                         CHRISTMAS BASKET

This little basket would be lovely as a 'Teacher' gift or for that special person, filled with some goodies for Christmas.

For the inside of the box, I used 'White Flowers on Green' , and 'Parisian Gardens' Collections.  Here is a close up look of the outside panels which were completed using 'A Twinkling Christmas' Collection. 



Well I trust that you have enjoyed our little journey today and that you agree with me, that this range of 'A Twinkling Christmas' is simply stunning and versatile with your other Meg's Garden Collections.

Thanks for taking the time to look and be sure to check out more of this Collection HERE.  Until next time.......happy creating......Liz.

A TWINKLING CHRISTMAS - WITH SLIDER CARD AND FRIENDS

Hello everyone,

This month I have been fortunate to receive the new Christmas range from Meg's Garden called 'A Twinkling Christmas'.  I have used  the Card Pack which contains 2 x 6 gorgeous papers, along with the Ephemera sheets.  These are so divine as you will see.

Firstly, I created a 'slider' card, which I thought would be a little different for Christmas.  I love making this card as it involves a little sewing.
I then embossed some snow around the bauble for a little extra effect when the card opens.

 and this is the card when it is fully open.
My next card was using the Ephemera sheeet.  I simply adore these images.

and embellished with Meg's Garden lace trim and metal emb.

Finally, for my next card I fussy cut the snowflake and embossed and sprinkled with a little glitter.
added a little of the Meg's silver trim and doily and here is the finished result.


I hope you have enjoyed our little trip into Christmas today and that it has inspired you to start making your Christmas cards.  To see more of this fantastic Christmas range see HERE 

Thanks for taking the time to look and until next time.......happy crafting.....LIZ

MEG'S GARDEN NEW COLLECTION - LAVANDE

Good afternoon Bloggers,


Today I am lucky enough to be showcasing Meg's Garden new collection of  'Lavande'.   You will notice that this collection is so so soft and pretty.

With that in mind, I just had to create a very special layout, that is dear to my heart.  It is of my Mum's family.  My Mum is the baby in the photo, which is thus dated 1913.

 Meg's Garden Ribbons and flowers team perfectly well with these papers.  I have used some very fine ribbon around my chipboard piece.


  Flowers and leaves  to accent the flower in the patterned paper and under my title.

I hope you have enjoyed  my little journey today and you will find more of this delish Collection HERE .

Until next time..........happy creating.......regards   Liz

PARISIAN GARDEN COLLECTION - GIFT TIN WITH COLLECTION OF GIFT CARDS

Welcome Bloggers,

Today I would love to share my latest creations.  I had been looking at a little white tin that my girlfriend had given me some time ago and wondering what I could use it for.  Meg's Garden new collection 'Parisian Garden' seemed perfect for what I had in mind.



I set about covering the tin

 With the tin completed, I then made up some gift cards.  Gosh I love this collection.  Truly amazing  and versatile for sure.




 This is the back of one of the gift cards.

I trust that you have enjoyed our little journey through Meg's gorgeous collection and that you have fun creating with this new 'Parisian Gardens' collection.  Until next time....happy scrapping....Liz
