TIME FLIES

I created this layout using patterned papers from Prima Almanac as it lends itself to many different layout themes.  This one is about how time flies (one minute you are a child ... and the next ... a grown up!).

I used Bazzill Kraft cardstock for the base and layered up with black card (gutted the middle of the cardstock of course).  The patterned base paper is Almanac Libre (reverse side) and this is layered up with pieces from the main side of the same paper plus pieces cut from the equally fabulous Almanac Edison.  These papers just lend themselves to being cut into smaller pieces and layered.

The clock pieces, sentiments and small letters used for the title and sub-title are all cut from the Libre patterned paper.

I made the two paper butterflies by using a Tando Creative Butterflies Mask piece as a template, drew around it and cut it out.  I added some pink pearl gems to the centres.  The largest butterfly I made using the same Mask and some of the Personal Impressions Canvas Cloth sheets.  They are easy to cut using a die-cut machine but can be cut quite easily using a sharp pair of scissors.  Using the Tando Mask, I inked the shading onto the butterfly shape using a Memento Rich Cocoa dye ink pad and added some pink pearl gems to finish.

This is just one of the many patterned papers and products that are available to buy at The Scrapbook Garden shop.  This Jubilee weekend I am offering 20% off all full priced products when you spend £20 or more.  Offer applies to UK addresses only and ends on Tuesday.  Use coupon code JUBILEE20% when you check-out.

Thanks for stopping by today.  If you leave a comment I will enter your name into the blog candy draw for this month.  Best of luck.

Blog Candy draw - June 2012

Summer is (officially) here at last and I thought what images and colours remind us of Summer?  So, I have based this month's blog candy giveaway on that imagery.

Butterflies and the colour yellow, evoke Summery images, so this month's blog candy is a lovely mix of Summer!

Up for grabs is the fabulously popular Butterfly Mask from Tando Creative, a Jenni Bowlin Acrylic Paint Dabber called Lemon Drops and a matching Jenni Bowlin Dye Ink Pad in the same luscious colour.

To be in with a chance to win this fab trio, all you have to do is leave a comment on a daily basis.  Your name will be entered into a draw and at the end of the month, I will use a Random Number Selector to choose the winner.  You must be a follower of this blog to qualify for entry and only comments left on the same day as the blog post will qualify (see rules on left of page).

Thanks for stopping by today and remember to come back tomorrow for another chance to be entered into the draw.  We need more people to join in, so spread the word!

Winner of May Blog Candy!

What am I? - Day 8 (Final Day)

It's the final day of this little 'What am I?' mini quiz I have been featuring for the past week.  Today I am making the clue soooo easy!  First one back with the correct answer gets the 5 entries into the draw.

Clue 1: I'm thoroughly British!

Last day to collect those extra entries.  Rules apply.  Best of luck to everyone for tomorrow's draw.  Pop back then to see who has won.

What am I? - Day 7

Another product for you to find today - hopefully, someone will get this in one.  Seeing as it's coming up to the end of the month I will be a little more specific with my description!

Clue 1: I may be cute and colourful now but I was previously used as something else! 

There are a few possibilities with this one again but the first one back here with the correct answer ... gets 5 entries into the blog candy draw.  Rules of entry apply.  Thanks for stopping by and taking part.  Good luck!

What am I? - Day 6

Another clue to put with yesterday's to find the product that I am describing, which can be found in The Scrapbook Garden shop.

Clue 2:  I may be small and dark but I am also sticky!

Solve the clues, identify the product and the first person with the correct answer will earn 4 entries into the blog candy draw.  Not long to go now before the draw is made.  Usual rules apply.  Best of luck everyone!

What am I? - Day 5

Today's question isn't difficult but finding the actual item that I am referring to may be a bit trickier - we'll see. 

 

Clue 1: I know my A-Z

If you get back here first with the correct answer (and you qualify) you will get 5 entries into this month's draw.  Only one guess each person.  If no-one guesses correctly today, the number of entries will go down to 4 for tomorrow.  Best of luck!
