Spring Paisley - Meg's Garden

Hello there everyone, today I have a 

layout using the new papers from 

Meg's Garden " Spring Paisley" and 

what no better way than showing 

these lovely papers by doing a Spring layout.  

The photo of a vase of flowers 

is from a lovely card a friend sent to me, 

I decided to recycle it and use here for my layout.  

I Love Spring 

The papers are from the newest collection
"Spring Paisley" available from Meg's Garden.

Green Paisley Stripe P6314

Pink Paisley Flourishes P6315

Pink Eau de lavande P6318

Green Eau de Lavande P6319

The clusters of flowers on my layout are 
created using a flower punch.

All these wonderful papers are available from

Meg's garden website HERE

I also used German scrap, paper doily, bird images that are all available from Meg's Garden website.

I have used Imaginarium Designs chipboard

Alphas IDALC0001

Birdcage IDS0009

Flourishes IDC0008 & IDC0005

Thanks for looking.....have a great weekend :)

CSI # 32 - Beach

Hi there everyone :) 

It is very cold here in Adelaide, at the moment, 
so so looking forward to summer again, 

another busy week here for me 

but just a quick post today with a layout for the 

CSI Challenge.  
I just loved the colour palette this week 
so I had to join in the fun check it out  

 here CSI NING

This is my layout , I love this picture of my Daughter and my Nephew at Aldinga Beach, this is a great beach that you can drive your car on the sand, have a picnic lunch, a great place to take in the sun and splash in the water, so calm and relaxing. 
The kids just love it. So do the big kids! 

Using the wonderful chipboards from 
Imaginarium Designs Website - 

Clouds IDS0027 
Flowers  IDS0026, 
Cross hatch IDDL0001 

using lots of gesso, inks and paints.

Here are the CSI challenge details to follow

For my Evidence- 
stars - cut out of vellum and textured papers, 
wet medium (gesso & paint on the chipboards), 
something grainy (glitter on chipboard clouds), Gauze, burlap- under photo and on clouds.

for Testimony, 
I documented our beach trips every summer. 
The hidden journalling on the scalloped tag reads, 

"Aldinga Beach 2009, Every summer we would go to Aldinga Beach, this is a great place to have fun, relax, and enjoy the sunshine. A great place to unwind and feel the sand between your toes. A great place to smell the ocean, collect shells, a wonderful peacful place, I memory of my childhood days."
Hope you enjoy my taste of summer.

I say, Bring on summer!!!!!!

Thanks for looking and have a great day :)
