Birthday box

Good day everyone.

I was asked to make a birthday box for a friend. I used Kanban Vintage paper and cut squares to layer around the inside. I die cut some butterflies and added a floral display to the centre. I added some bronze leaves to the floral arrangement. I die cut a sentiment tag "happy birthday" so that it could be added inside/outside or to a gift.The lid was decorated with crochet lace to the rim, a large bronze flower to which I attached a pearl flower centre.A small rose set it off nicely.

altered teacup

 Hello everyone. A friend asked me to alter a teacup and saucer from her late mothers tea set. This was to be a gift for her sister. I used artificial flowers of various colour and sizes. The small ones I added pearls to the centres. I added broken glass and Glamour dust to some of the larger flowers. Some pink berries were used along with glass pebbles/pearls/deep pink faceted beads. To complete I added small pearl strand around the teacup base and silver butterfly and bird set it off rather nicely.
ps I apologise for the lack of pristine photos but I was pushed for time and had to wrap it for delivering.

Thanks for stopping by.

sweet card

A sweet Chritsmas card using Lemon Craft Hand painted papers and The Peony Papers. I die cut some twig/leaves and a border for the bottom (spellbinders). I die cut a poinsettia from white Foamiran (Marianne designs die) and added some sparkly ball stamens. I used Glossy accents to "raise" some of the flowers on the paper. I left it uncrowded as the paper is so beautiful. I think the Foamiran flower makes it stand out.

Double sided album

 I started this album by folding (concertina) A4 paper sheets. I glued them together then decorated with paper ( MC Boutique paper pad). I added various pockets / belly bands etc. to hold tags and photo mounts.

 From an old children's board book I took two sheets to make the front/back cover. Again I decorated them added ribbon to close on each side.
I decorated with die cuts and embellishment's
The covers were bigger than the pages but I decided not to cut them down. On one (inside) I added small belly bands and tags (just here ->

Pockets and tags and some resin rose embellishments

 I left room for photos to be mounted and added pockets/tags.
More embellishments' including resin roses.

 Small envelopes and inside back cover.(top)

More pockets/tags and space for photo mounts.

 Photo mounts and tags.

 The album is decorated on both sides with pockets and tags etc. both sides. The album can be opened at both ends (ribbon close)
