Smoke

This is my version of the pencil lines sketch.

I made the charm from an old key ( well i hope its an old key)
I used some metal charms that i colour with alcohol inks, and
some paper flowers.
Stitching the lace and paper(lace) was just for
a bit of fun.

The gorgeous lady in the pin had been enhanced with glossy and crackle accents
just for a bit of shine.
I misted the tag with paper artsy glimmer.

Stapled the one corner down and some
'monkey love letters'

Shabby chic mini page

Aideen hosted a swap on her blog , http://www.piecesbyaideen.com/
go check out het blog she has some gorgeous minis
The theme was 4x4 mini page shabby chic, lace, pearls, fairies, butterflies.

The Front I wanted it to look like an old corcet dress, very girly.

A charm holding the extra page closed

Just a little bit of lace

The Back of my page, a tag and a pocket.

I used old music paper and tea dyed it, and painted over the paper with some oil paint, just to create the vintage feel.

I created a stick pin for each pocket, it makes me think of shabby chic.

This is my tag, I stamped the music notes and painted with some glimmer mist, I also painted the lace. Once the brushes comes out there is not stopping me :D

Me and the love of my life

We had a white Christmas this year and it was just amazing. This is

just a quick layout using Graphic 45 paper and my favourite winter photo.

Please feel free to give me some feedback.

Mardi Gras charm swap

This is my charms for the Charm swap hosted by JoAnn at the beach, http://www.paperpiazza.blogspot.com/

The theme I picked was Mardi Gras.

The traditional colours of Mardi Gras are purple (symbolic of justice),

Green (symbolic of faith)

and Gold (symbolic of power).

Swivel Charm swap

Hi ladies
I had the most fun making this Tim swivel charm.
The Theme is Vintage Valentine and the challenge
was to use Lace some where on the charm.
I was Partners with Michelle all the way in Australia,
how cool is that.

I picked the Colours Red and a tiny bit of Purple. I love those two colours together.

I used a Little bit of lace behind this charm and some crackle accent on an old image.

I used a Tim Holtz pin with a few 'crystal' beads.

Hope she likes it.

Pay it forward 2011

Joanne from paper drama posted a this on her blog and I thought it was the best idea, It reads like this:
"Pay it Forward in 2011: I promise to send an original creation to the first 5 people who leave a comment here. They must, in turn, post this and send something they make to the first 5 people who comment on their status. The rules are that it must be handmade by you, and it must be sent to your 5 people sometime in 2011."

How cool is that!
I'm going to start creating right now and will post photos soon of what the 5 lucky ladies will be getting.

Happy scrapping ladies
