Quick Cards with Shop and Crop

Good morning, I am here today with the Shop and Crop.

I have been trying to make an effort when I have papers out to either use the scraps or at least create some cards so then when its someones Birthday for example I am not scrabbling to make one or worst buy one!!!

 I kinda feel embarrassed when I have to buy one because I am a scrapbooker ( am I the only one? )

So when I was lucky enough to work with Pink Paislee's Cedar Lane papers ( in store now). I decided to use the last of my little bits and create a series of cards.....

So before you tidy up, why dont you create a couple of quick cards.

Till next time have a creative day.

Trip hangover......

Good Morning, how are you all? I am suffering a major holiday hang over :(  I had the best time,  seeing my family, and I am not afraid to say I am missing my mum terribly, its always the worst straight after the visit......  But to get my mind off it I have thrown myself into the scrap studio.

Today I am sharing with you another layout using the stunning Pink Paislee Cedar Lane... I have worked with it last year and I am so happy and surprised how versatile it is a year later. Even using the same papers I am beyond happy how different the results can be.

# 62 /365

Have pattern paper but think you need some embellishments more? Why dont you make your own!!!

I love the Green Tara flowers!!!!

Templates with a little texture paste give your mediums something to grab onto and add interest to your background sheets.

Exciting - With Shop and Crop

Good morning how are you all? Me beyond excited only a couple more days and I am off to Queensland for a whirlwind holiday for 8 days 7 nights. Spending the time from going to Australia Zoo, the Papercraft Expo, High tea at Versace and spending time with family and friends. 

Anyway enough about that today I am here for the Shop and Crop using the stunning Pink Paislee Cedar Lane range.

I fussy cutting and then using them for layers, when doing this dont forget to layer your ephemera throughout it as well.

 Another option to add more impact without using your stash is to cut your ephemera peices in half and use them under your photo.

How cute is the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane Gold Glitter Arrows?

Nothing adds a bit of interest to your mixed media background like a Kaisercraft Background stamp with a little bit of white ink.....

Love You with Scrappingclearly

Good morning I am here today, with my last post of the month for Scrapping Clearlry using the stunning Pink Paislee Cedar Lane Range. 

Have you noticed a little theme that tied my layouts together this month? If you said stitching then you would be correct. I love the Autumn theme with the leaves and the feathers in this range and I wanted to add a little bit of whimsy to the layouts this month and whats easier than a bit of machine stitching. 

 Dont you love the gold foil with the gold glitter? Stunning!!! And the Dream Big is the new Cedar Lane Gold Foil Washi Tape Book. 

Another Washi sticker I love how easy they are to use and how elegant they look with the pop of foil.....

Try using the Pink Paislee Cedar Lane Feather paper clip as a leaf instead of a feather.
