June Mini Page Swap

Hay
This is my pages for the June Mini Page swap hosted by Bona from Keep on Scrappin. It was such a fun and hard challenge, but I'm pleased with the way it turned out. The challenge was to use Graphic 45 paper and make a 4"x4" mini page, we were to use lace and Roses. My page design was Sweetheart of Mine.


This is the front page, I used gold acrylic paint on the edges, Glimmer mist a doily with tea rose, made the rose 'Tim Holz' style, well I try ed, I love pearls and jewelry so I made a mini pearl necklace. It was definitely inspired by the paper, its so vintage girly.




This is the back. I made some pockets for tags, and crackled on the side. I used two types of lace layered over each other. This paper had so many gorgeous images.




This my tag, I stamped it with a stamp that says 'hope' and the pained metallic gold over the whole tag, it dried a bit and then wiped some if it of with a wet wipe. Just a little experiment.


Lastly my rabbit Stewi wanted to be part of the challenge so he ate a good bit of one of my gorgeous pages, here is the evidence. He loves paper.


Thanks for stopping by, hope you feel inspired and please leave a comment.

June Tag Swap

Hi Everyone my June tag swap that I did with Arlene http://butterflykisseswithlove.blogspot.com/ is done and I had such a great time

doing them.

I made a vintage kind of post card, I used a bit of crackle paint (my favourite at the moment I try to crackle every project) and distress the edges. I love this vintage Woman it just feels like she is saying 'Bonne Journee'.
There is a little Eiffel Tower charm at the top of the pearl string.

This is the back I've put in a pocket for a tag.

This is my attempt of Marion's Lace flower, she did a tutorial on her show A Piece Of Craft.

This is the link to her show, http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/5841747. Mine needs a bit of practise still.
I dyed them a bit in rooibos tea (a south African Tea) so give them a bit of a red tea dye look, and the glimmer mist them to give a bit of sparkle.
Thanks for stopping by.

My First Mini Album

This mini will be about me and childhood sweetheart. We grew up together and lived across the road from each other. He is still my best friend, and now also my husband.

I still have to put a few images and journaling.
