Graphic 45 Little Darlings layout

Yesterday I was down at Scotties and picked up these very cute Graphic 45 'Little Darlings' papers and stickers. So cute!! Apart from the cute picture papers there are awesome dots, stripes and checks.

I used a Crafters Workshop, Dots all Around template and texture paste for the background circles and then got out varying heart punches and dies! The heart circle is a Spellbinders, the rosette is made with a strip punched from a Martha Stewart edge punch and the border and corner is one of Scotties new MS punches that 'fell' into my bag yesterday as well!!

Check out these papers and all the new punches at Scotties, in store or on-line!

A quick little 6 by 6 Mini album by Wendy

The front cover

I have used the Nature Garden papers, the Journaling Notecards, Resist canvas butterflies by Prima and a EK success punch to create this 7 page star book album inspired by Marion Smith from the Prima team. Each page has a pocket for a tag either on the side or at the top.....just ready to add photos and then its done. This album stands up on its own or you can store it like a book. Love it. 

Thanks for looking

When there is a storm in a Teacup....By Wendy

 

When there is a storm in your tea cup... read me...

This was a quick fun project made from a recycled $2.00 Shop tea pot base which I sprayed white and glued a stack of doileys to the base as a saucer. Once again I have used my latest favourite Spellbinders die Floral ovals.

   

All the flowers are Prina and the I have used Prima journal cards (Natures Garden) and stamped a message on each one.

 

 

I have also used seam binding canvas resist butterflies and prima buttons. A bit of fun.

 

Thanks Wendy this is amazing!!
