Marjorie

Time for another heritage layout.

I am still working through the lovely old photos I acquired recently. This one is Marjorie Phyllis Holder, she was one of my Grandfather's thirteen siblings, so she was my great Aunt.

Marjorie was born in Bromley in 1908 to Frederick Holder and Emma Jane Florence (Williams).

Marjorie married Gordon Stebbing in 1928.

I used:

Basic Grey Eva Collection papers, Element Stickers, Alphabet Stickers and chipboard shapes

Basic Grey swirl stamps

Memory Box die for the olive branches

A mix of roses and other flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts

Dovecraft Metal Butterfly with added gems 

Flat-backed pearls

Prima Stamp

Memento and Distress Inks

I made another layout with a photo of Marjorie's sister Rose, but this is under wraps for the next Scrapology challenge!

52 Christmas Cracker 2104 - Week 11

Back today with my Christmas version of the week 11 challenge from Kool Kitty Musings Blog . Natty was inspired by lots of wedding pins on Pinterest recently and so this week we have been challenged to use the traditional wedding rhyme. The aim is to include all four elements in a card design.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.

So how did I do?

Something old - The papers from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses collection and the very old snowman rub-on I found in my stash.

Something new - New greetings stamps from Dovecraft.

Something borrowed - I borrowed a square die set from Vanessa at the crop yesterday.

Something blue - Papers, rub on, sticker, Stickles, gem and pearls. Although I had to include blue, I also wanted some more traditional Christmas colours, and using this BG collection was ideal.

Paper & element sticker: Basic Grey - Eskimo Kisses
Cardstock - Bazzill
Stamps: Dovecraft - Tis the Season
Die: Sizzix
Ink: Distress Ink
Rub - on - E-Z Rub-on Transfer - Silly Snowmen with glitter
Other: 3 D foam pads & card blank.

Thanks for looking.

Afternoon Tea Card Class - Cardinal Colours

Toady I teaching this card class at the Cardinal Colours Autumn Weekend Crop. 2012 is a big year for Britain, with the Olympic Games and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. What better way to celebrate than with another great British tradition – Afternoon Tea?

This Card class has many different techniques involved to make a pretty set of five tea party themed cards. The generous kit means there are enough products to decorate many more cards too.

Everything from jam and cream to tea pots and doilies, create cards with stamping, decoupage, die cutting and more. Many of the products supplied are from the Dovecraft's Tea Party Collection. 

I decided to use a variety of different techniques while sticking to one range of papers. I picked the pretty papers, stamps, buttons, gems & pearls, glittered decoupage images and bakers twine from Papermania's Tea Party Collection.

These are the 12" x 12" papers

 

 and the 6" x 6" papers

8" x 8" Decoupage paper pad

Border stamps

Other stamps

Heart doilies

Circular doilies

Baker's Twine

Buttons

Adhesive gems and pearls

I used the two sets of stamps which included some border stamps and some ribbons.

I also made some additional cards which can be made with the left over bits from the kits and some additional items.
