Vintage Journal pages




Hello lovelies, hope you are staying safe and well? Tonight I am sharing some more pages from my vintage journal. 










Here I have used these beautiful papers from Raspberry Road DesignsMy Porch Prints 
and Vectoria Designs. I also found this stunning vintage photo which was free to use. 










For this page, I have used the same papers as before along with a Tim Holtz paper doll and a TH number stamp. The script stamp is from Kaisercraft. I have also adhered a wonderful vintage French invoice from The Old Design shop and have also added some Grunge number labels.

Civil War card - Forever




Hello lovelies, hope that you are keeping safe and well? Today I am sharing an American Civil War card that I have created. There will be a list of the items that I used at the bottom of the page: 





To start, I chose my papers, Bingo card and photo that I wanted to create my card with. 



Next, I rounded the corners of my paper with this punch and distressed the edges with Black Soot Distress ink. 






Here I have also rounded the corners of my kraft card base, I then adhered the first sheet of paper using double sided tape.  















I repeated the process with the second layer of paper. 





Next, I rounded the corners of the photograph and inked all ephemera with Black soot DI.




Finally, I layered the bingo card and photo on to the front of my card and adhered the ephemera pieces. Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next post! Hugs, Zowie x

Happy Mother's day





Hello lovelies, hope you are keeping well and staying safe? Today there's a brand new challenge over at Artsystamper and the theme is 'Mum's the word'. The winner will receive a wonderful prize from the Artsystamper shop 


This creation is very dear to my heart. I wanted to create something really special to remember my mom by, so I have used a vintage photograph of her as a young girl. The photo was taken in 1949 and hand-tinted by her brother, my Uncle Phillip.(my mom was around Seven years old) Sadly I never knew my Uncle as he passed away before I was born. My mom had Six older brothers and I remember her telling such fond stories of them all! My mom sadly passed away in 1997 (I was Twenty Two at the time) so young to lose a mother. I am so lucky to have had a wonderful relationship with her and so thankful that I had a great and exceptional woman as my mother. If I can be half the mother and woman she was, then I know I have achieved something in my own life. Love you so much Mom x









I have used this beautiful Daffodil digital stamp from the early Spring beauty set along with papers from my own stash. 








To finish my tag, I have also used a piece of ruler ephemera to match the colour of the Daffodil stamp.

I hope that you will join in with the challenge over at Artsystamper the DT would love to see your wonderful creations! You can create anything, a card, tag, layout etc and you are not required to use an Artsystamper image, however, if you do you will gain an extra entry into the draw! 

Thanks so much for stopping by, see you on the next one!
