Spring fling!

Hi folks! It's almost spring time, and what better way to welcome in the new season than a fun wreath for the front door?

I used papers from the Teresa Collins Spring Fling line to create it. Such happy colours!

I shared how I created it on the Teresa Collins Design Team blog yesterday, so go check it out if you'd like to see more :)

Have a good day!

Sketches

It's almost the weekend! Yay! This week I shared my first set of sketches over on the Papermaze blog - a card and a layout sketch. Here is a peek at the projects I created using the sketches.

I used the Basic Grey Picadilly collection for these projects which will be up in the shop soon!

For details and to see the sketches check out the Papermaze blog :)

Have a happy weekend!

Fun folded flowers

This month I was lucky to be able to play with the BG Picadilly collection for Papermaze and I had a great time creating this layout and learning a new technique!

I'm sharing a step by step of how I created the folded paper embellishments on the Papermaze blog, so check it out if you're interested :)

Change is good!

Good morning and happy Monday to you!

Teresa Collins has revealed her new collections for Winter CHA and WOW, they're beautiful! I'm such a lucky girl to be a part of her team :) Teresa has outdone herself this time around and has changed things up a bit, adding lots of colour and a bit of whimsy whilst still keeping her trademark sophisticated style.

Today Teresa is giving away 3 of the Fabrications collections on her blog! Just head over and leave her a comment to enter :)

Have a great week!

Catching up...

Happy Tuesday! I recently succumbed to the temptation to purchase a Silhouette Cameo... and yesterday I finally had chance to create a couple of things with it :)

I had a big parcel of October Afternoon 'Sidewalks' collection for Christmas, and I used it for all of these creations. This first layout feeds my total addiction for everything chevron at the moment! Love the chevron background (cut with the Cameo)!

On this layout I cut the leafy vine and doily on the Cameo. Oh, yes, those long hours of hand-cutting time are behind me!

And this was just a quick card made with one of the random things I cut out on the Cameo. I had to force myself to stop just cutting things out and actually use them!

I have some news to share, too, which is that I was invited to join the Papermaze DT and I'm going to be in charge of the monthly sketches over on the blog. Yay! You can read the announcement here.

Speaking of sketches, have you stopped by the Ruby Rock-it blog yet this week? I have set a sketch challenge there and you could win an entire collection of Ruby Rock-it goodies if you join in! There are tons of beautiful creations from the DT showing their take on the 3 sketches, too.

Thanks for stopping by :)

The old and the new...

Today I am sharing my favourite layouts from the last Teresa Collins Designs release on the DT blog.

I'm so excited about Teresa's new releases for the upcoming CHA show! If you are looking for a sneak peek of one of them, check out THIS post on her blog ;)

Also, the Ruby Rock-it party continues today with my contribution! I created a wrapped gift and a gift card holder. I have a couple of peeks here for you and you can see the rest on the blog.

Both of these projects were created with the new Vintedge line :)

See you soon!
