A wonderful world

Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I am sharing some Design Team creations that I have created for this months challenge over at FQGSC.

 The challenge this month is 'anything farm related goes! You can find more details over on the challenge blog. I hope that you will join in with the fun!

 I have created these vintage altered farm inspired tags.

I have used these beautiful images from Mean Kitty and wonderful papers from the vintage family history paper kit from Manu designs studios.




For my next tag, I have used this beautiful vintage sheep image from Mean Kitty also. Papers are from other digital vintage paper kits from Manu design studios


I hope that I have inspired you to create your own vintage farm inspired altered tags!


Thank you so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Vintage nautical shaker card


Hello lovelies, hope you are well! Today I am sharing a shaker card with a vintage nautical theme. 



For the bottom layer of my card, I have used this lovely wood texture paper from my stash. Next, I have used this beautiful blue paper from ManuDesign Studio. I used a circle die to cut the space for the part of the shaker card. I adhered a cello bag behind the paper and added brown and blue sequins. 


For the top layer of my card, I used a larger circle die along with Kraft cardstock, which I ran through an embossing folder to give more interest. 

Next, I fussy cut this wonderful vintage Sailor boy image, which I edged with Vintage photo distress ink


Finally, I added a word label and some floral arrangements of blue and white mulberry flowers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by the Den, I really appreciate your visit and kind comments!

Fill your soul with beauty

Whenever you are creating beauty

around you, you are

restoring your own soul

~ Alice Walker


Hello lovelies, 'hope you are well! today I have the honour of Guest Designing over at Creative Artiste challenge. Thanks to Andree for having me as GDT!

To create my book cover I have used this stunning portrait image & these wonderful free flow stitch abstract papers. I have also used these shabby grey grunge papers from Cheryl Francis art and Double helix digitals.


To complete my book cover, I have added lots of textured layers, including grunge and sewing stamps.


I have also typed this beautiful quote;

"Fill your soul with beauty"


I hope that I have inspired you to create your own altered book cover!
