Crate's Little Bo Peep Collection

Crate's new collection Little Bo Peep is now in stock in the shop!!

The papers are gorgeous ... full of lovely soft colours and although many of the designs and the embellishments have clearly been designed for baby girl themed layouts many of them can easily be used on more general layouts.

So for this layout I used: Charlotte, Matilda and Alice 12" x 12" papers, Tag cuts (the Sweet Memories Journal card), a phrase sticker (Cute as a Button sticker), White Mister Huey Mist, Studio Calico Heyday Aqua thickers and some scraps of paper, buttons, washi tape, twine and I edged the papers with Brushed Corduroy distress ink.

I love these Aqua Thickers - not sure if you can see in the photo but they have a gorgeous (yet subtle) design printed on them!

I used a tiny spot of glossy accents to hold the twine on this tag in place.

My Minds Eye Nostalgia Cards

Hi All ... I hope you have been enjoying the recent good weather!

Today I'd like to show you a couple of cards the very talented Jenny has made using papers from the gorgeous MME Nostalgia 6 x 6 pad which are in stock in the shop.

These papers really are so versatile ....  at first they may appear to be quite feminine colours with the pinks and yellows but Jenny made two cards suitable for males to show you just how adaptable they are.

Jenny used Glossy Accents on the balloon and liquid pearls on the bow tie and collar. 

The 6" x 6" Nostalgia pad is available here!

Also, don't forget to check out the Bronze, silver and gold Special Offers!!

Louise used up some leftovers from Echo Park This and That Charming and Note to Self range and Jenni Bowlin hexagon stickers.
