Handbag with Vintage Postcards - Meg's Garden


Hi everyone,
Vintage Challenge at Meg's Garden is on
you still have time to enter,
all the details are HERE
some fabulous prizes to win.........but 
Today I have a project which I have created for my 
Meg's Garden Design Team work for this month, 
it is a Handbag
and inside the bag are 
4 Vintage Ladies Postcards.


Using the new papers from Meg's Garden 
Designed by Denise -

The Bag.
I covered the outside of the bag with 
Adhered some German Scrap border
with glue around the bottom edges of the bag.

I attached a Brass Latch and hook - Scalloped 
for the closure of the bag
(there are so many to choose from
Meg's Garden website) also I
attached a Striped satin Ribbon - Brown and latte colour
 for a handle.


I also created 4 postcards, 
which fit quite nicely inside the bag.

The size of these postcards are 9cm x 11cm
Smaller than a normal sized card and a bit
larger than an Artist trading card.
You could place these on top of card, if you like!  :)

Shine - "Scrap Around the World" August challenge

Hi there everyone,
I just can't believe that August is here
and soon it will be Christmas....(only 4 months away)
where does the time go!!!!!.....
Today I am sharing a layout based on the mood board and sketch from the
SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD challenge for August.

Here is my layout
titled, SHINE


The journalling written on the side is based on the song by Vanessa Amorosi's song with the same title, SHINE.
"Nothing last forever but you can try.
Look all around YOU, Everyone you see,
Everyone you know, is going to SHINE."

"Including you -
Grow up and make the best of
what you got!"
Scrap Around The World Designer Eila Sandberg together with 
a sketch from their resident sketch designer, Jules McKenna-De Lumen!



and all the details on how to enter are
here on the 
SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD blog
also there are some fabulous prizes up for grabs, so... check it out.


The photo in my layout is of my DD,
the sun was just shining on her head
at the moment I took this photo of her, in the park.
I have been meaning to scrap this
photo for a long time, and now I have.
With a little inspiration from the wonderful sketch 
I also picked 2 of the photos for inspirational colours.
I picked the bottom left hand corner photo and 
the photo on the top right hand photo, 
with the glittery and lacey
hair pieces in the hair.

I added glitter to the chipboards and with
the soft pastels flowers, texture paste and paint
I created my Shine layout.
Materials used:
Imaginarium Design chipboard clock & alphas
Kaisercraft Base coat paper & Leaf stencil.
Prima leaves, flowers and beaded flourish.
Weathered wood paints
Texture paste.
Bronze spray mist from Tattered angels
Glass glitter and lace from Meg's Garden
Distress tool and Vintage Photo
Distress inkpad.

 Thanks all for looking and commenting
have a great Weekend everyone.

 Cheers
