Regency Stills and Tag





I made the tag using a stamp and some charms I picked up from the Ally Pally last weekend.


Regency Mini Album

At last.... a new post!

I have been so swamped with work at one point I was working 11 days straight. My brain was fried after the 8th day, I was at work in body but not in spirit. ;)

Finally after a long time I get to share a new project with my scrappy friends.

Here's a mini album I did for my bf's mum's 60th. I finished a few days before her actual birthday so had to wait until she opened her presents on the big day. :)

I resisted the urge to pile up the pages so there's enough room for her photos. The pages were made from ordinary cardboard and covered with Papermania's Regency paper collection. I enjoyed distressing this little piece of fabric leftover from a previous project. Of course, my project will not be complete without Prima flowers and bling. :)

Enjoy!

Kimono Tag


I recently found out that my tag never made it to one of my March tag swap partner. As much as it is sad because I can't bear the thought of someone cutting open other people's mail, I thought I'd make her another one to complete her collection.

I embossed French script stamp (can't you tell it's my fave?) on the tag, distressed in Frayed Burlap, stamped the images, coloured her dress in Aged Mahogany (dabbed in with a felt foam), gave her cute pearl earrings, flowers, fibers, a bit of Prima flourish pearls and a metal corner.

Isn't she cute?

Sizzix haul and Swirlydoos

Hello there! I've had the sniffles for the last couple of days and felt really run down. Tonight I filmed this clip, uploaded it on YouTube and played around with the features - all by myself! Not bad for someone riddled in cooties (yep, I say it like a 6 year old).

For those in the UK, Sizzix has a super sale on dies. It's awesome. I found the site by chance and saw some amazing prices for as low as £1! I made the order on Saturday and got them today. Gotta do arm stretches now - my Cuttlebug will get some serious workout in the next few days.

Enjoy the video!

P.S. You might want to turn down the volume halfway. The music is a bit loud. :)
