Celebrate - Layout - The Scrapbook Store

Another layout, created for The Scrapbook Store. The Carta Bella 'So Noted' is such a gorgeous paper collection - the papers are beautiful quality too.

..Celebrate being a woman and playing FOOTBALL in the early 60s.

My Mum is the 3rd from the right, and my Aunt Janet is the 2nd from the left, top row.  This is a group of women who worked for the Brucks Woollen Mill throughout the 1960s, and at one of the events they took on the men playing football.  This event would have been a huge event in its time.  Must look for a newspaper clipping!!

I used the Kaisercraft Wooden Letters as the title, and added the Adorably Cute, from the Note Cards paper, and highlighted using Green Tara's, Burlap Trim, Pleated Organza Ribbon, Lace, and Mini Roses.  Lots of hidden pockets and journaling.

 ... Happy Creating...

Cheery Lynn Designs - Christmas Lantern, Tag & Friendship Card

Christmas is just around the corner, I’m not totally sure where this year has gone, which is a little scary!! 

Cheery Lynn Designs has some stunning Christmas dies, and this week I have created a Christmas Lantern and matching tag.  

A tutorial which can be found “here” in the ‘resources’ section of SplitcoastStampers that will give you a guide to making a lantern.

I used the XL-11 Covered Rectangle Scalloped

(smallest) to cut the shape from the four sides of my lantern, and backed each cut out, with vellum. The Elegant Evergreen Christmas Tree (DL144) is so detailed and appealing, though a smaller version was required, so I removed the lower edge of the die cut to make the tree the right size to apply to the lantern.   I also adore the new release Snowflake 2, and knew it would look so pretty against the velum when the candle was lit.

It is not recommended to use tea-light candles in a paper-project. However, you can purchase battery operated candles which are perfect with no fire risk.  These battery operated candles are so realistic; they even flicker like a real candle!

The Christmas tag was made with the left over cut-outs from the lantern.  The CoveredRectangle Classic (2^nd smallest) was used to back the tag so the Elegant Evergreen ChristmasTree would fit nicely.

These lanterns would look gorgeous on a Christmas table, and could even be adapted to hang with the use of eyelets and some ribbon!

The below ‘friendship’ card, I created for last weeks post, but sadly my internet connection refused to allow me to upload the photographs.  So thought I would sneak it in with this weeks...

I love the way the Lace Light Deco Border interlocks on the front of the card...
