A simple scrapbook page and a mini

Demo 3. A simple scrapbook page
I wanted to show the ladies that SU is more than just stamps and card making and they can be used on scrapbook pages, mini albums and even for making your own embellishments.

Embossed butterflies direct to 12 x 12 as background

More embossed embellishments and paper catherdral windows to add a bright bit of decoration.

Memories Canvas

I have now come to the end of my beau chateau paper collection but i want to show you what i used it on. This was mainly made from the scraps of my previous projects. I used a large canvas, 10" x 22", used the reverse, added some chipboard dividers to make a faux printers tray.

I love how it turned out in the end despite it taking days to make, lots of happy accidents.

Cherish

I have another project using elegent eleanor and beau chataux. I know you are probably getting bored with it now but i love how versatile both products are and i am sure you will agree not one project looks the same.

So for this project i utilised an inexpensive Ikea mirror to make a photo frame. The subjects are my DH and our 19 month old Rebecca. It was a beautiful photo that needed centre stage.

I just have one more project using both products and then i am done and shall be moving onto another designer paper pack, lol

Eleanor continued

So i couldnt resist another little play with my stamps yesterday. I improved on time yesterday, just an hour for the 2 cards but i did have all my parts made from the day before, lol.

A large congratulations card

And a thanks notelet card made from the scraps



And here is the trilogy together. Dont they look nice. I can see these as wedding cards.

My first SU project

So i was itching to have a play with my new goodies. I had so many ideas floating around so after sketching them out and pondering, i settled for some cards. Why might you ask as i am not a cardmaker really, lol, but i thought they would be the quickest option as i only had a few hours whilst Rebecca napped.

Well, 4 hours later, stretched over the day, i managed to make a card, lol. I am very pleased with how it turned out. It is very ME, in blues, browns and light pinks.
