Bliss


Here's another layout I did as a wedding present for this lovely couple. The groom is the son of dear friends of ours, and we are absolutely thrilled for him and wish him and his beautiful bride nothing but wedded bliss!

 
I used papers from Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden collection - one of my all-time favourite paper collections.

 
I then embellished the layout with flowers from Prima and 49 And Market, and metal embellishments and tickets from Tim Holtz's Idea-ology Collection.


For a little bit of texture, I added some muslin to the layout, and I also used 3D pop-up dots of varying thickness to adhere the various embellishments, for greater dimension. Here are the close-ups.

Alison


So, I'm finally catching up with posting some projects which I had worked on over the past couple of years but haven't had the time to post, beginning with this one, which I did in 2017, for this dear friend who was getting married.

 
The photo was taken during her hen party and I created this mixed media canvas piece as a gift for her.


 
Here are some close-ups.

Love Story


So, it's been awhile. I suppose family matters got the best of my time this past year. But yesterday I attended the wedding of our dear friends' daughter, and I did this layout as a gift for the happy couple.


I used papers from Webster's Pages' 'In Love' collection for the layout, with floral embellishments from 49 And Market.


To create a bit of texture and dimension on the layout, I used Tim Holtz's 'Tiles' layering stencil and some modeling paste on the background paper, and then did lots of layering using pop-up foam dots.


A bit of distressing, tearing and inking, and there you have it! Here are some close-up shots.

Memories Of A Lifetime - Mini-Album


I made this mini-album for a dear friend of my younger DD's, who was going overseas for further studies. They've known each other since they were in Primary 5, and have been very close friends ever since.


I used S.E.I.'s One-Hour Album Kit, but added liberally to the embellishments.


 

The back cover ...


... and the inside pages.
 
 
 

 

 

 

 

And here's a look at the individual pages. The hidden tag on the left of the photo on the inside front cover can be pulled out to reveal a personal message.
