 Hi all,

Well I inspired myself and created more ATC's to get my mojo up and running. I ama not sure about these as I used washie tape from Aall & Create for the backgrounds and not sure they match the cutouts lol..






I hope I have inspired you

ATC I created just because...

 Hi all, well it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Why? I think it is because I totally lost my mojo and want to create something..  It was like it is too much effort and life is busy so I locked up my shed and walked away for three months. 

Am I back, mmm I am not sure at all. I did create a few ATC's but a big project, well I will see.. 

I love the company Aall & Create and decided to use the cutouts to make them as it was no effort. But I did make my own backgrounds so does that count for anything lol. 










I hope I have inspired you

Photo Album -CC

 Hi all,

What a gorgeous collection Couture Creations have for us. Blues By You Collection So pretty that I decided to make a photo album/folder.

Cut three pieces black cardstock at 10cm x 20cm, make a mark in the center on the 20cm side and fold both ends into the mark. Do all three pieces and glue one end to each other standing up so the middle piece will have both side glued (as in photo 1). Cut another three pieces of cardstock at 10cm x 30cm Score at 10cm & 20cm. Adhere all three pieces in the middle as shown in photo 1. Your base is now done.. I cut the mats with assorted papers in the kit and made two envelopes with tags, two fold envelopes with lift up flaps and three pockets along the center folds. I left two white and stamped one with You Are Amazing.  (just a warning, do not make this with bulky items as it will not close, ask me how I know lol).. I am going to put photos in this as a gift. 

Photo 1..





To make the fold envelope I cut an 18cm x 8cm and score it 4cm each end. I then punched a 2 1/2 inch circle and did the ends as shown in photo 2. I did need to trim it down a fraction but it worked as I couldn't find my geometry compass.

 Hi all,

Just by using a different coloured background cardstocks with the Blues By You Collection will make all the difference and give you heaps of possibilities.. I love this collection. I decided to do a simple folio for you today. 

Cut a base cardstock at 11 3/8 in x 6 in, score at 2 5/8in & 7in Round corners. On the 7in line punch two holes 3/4 in from each side. (string holes).  Cut pages @ 8in x 5 1/8in, fold in half on the 8in side, round the corners of the pages. Slip the pages under the string inside and fold over covers.

Scrap Paperclip Art. CC

 Hi all,

What to do with scraps with the Blues By You Collection , well for me its to make little paperclip art pieces. These were so easy to do that I don't think I am allowed to call them a project lol. They did turn out pretty though so make sure you keep you little scraps in a ziplock bag because you will love making these.

Twist Panel Pop Up Card - CC

 Hi all,

I hope your crafting is going well.. I thought I would show you the Blues By You collection with a twist panel pop up card. Now I'm not going to lie and say this is an easy card to start with but oh my how glorious did it turn out.. 

I am hoping that you can see all the measurements from the photos and how it was put together. There are a heap of videos out there in cyber space to show you but once you have the mechanism down pat then its easy. The papers are so lovely and you could make several of these with different background bases and they would all look different.. I love this collection.. 


The base measures 4 1/2 in x 9 in, score 4 1/2 in Cut and score the middle as shown.

Aussie G'day Layout - CC

 Hi all,

Today I am showing you a layout I completed with the wonderful Australia The Lucky Country Collection..  I scrap lifted the design from my friend Joanne, she is a wonderful crafter.. 

I used a plain white 12 x 12 cardstock for the base. Cut a 10 in x 10 in black cardstock and paper two at 9 3/4 in x 9 3/4 in, adhere as shown. The large photo mat measures at 6 in x 4 1/4 in & the three smaller mats are 31/3 in x 4 1/4 in (all black). The white mats are 1/4 in smaller and the actual photos are 1/4 smaller again.  I used the 3D foam tape to add dimension to all photos and the words as well as the Australian flag. I used one of my shaker toppers I made Toppers Here. Using two trees from the ephemera set with the 3d foam dots separating them to give depth was placed between the topper and photo with a explore chipboard on top of the trunk. 

I just love the simplicity of this layout and to me it suited the papers from this collection perfectly.
