Card by Yasmin Tölche

Hello everyone! It's Yasmin on the blog today and I have a sweet card to share with you. This card fits for loads of occassions since I didn't write any specifics on it.

I've used different papers from different collections on this.. It's kind of a "scrap-paper" card. You can find papers from the Junque Gypsy collection, Romance Novel II and Posh collection.

I seriously wanted to make a card with this large lush resin Rose that Marion Smith has designed. It's just so fantastic. I added a few other flowers and loads of pearls and microbeads.

This little bling heart is also a MSD embellishment. Isn't it the sweetest? 

Thank  you so much for stopping by the blog today! Have a great day :)

You - Layout by Yasmin Tölche

Hi Everyone, it's Yasmin on the blog today and yes it Saturday and my Marion Smith Designs day.. I'm now going to post everyother saturday projects filled with Marion Smith Design products starting with this saturday. This time I have a layout to share with you.

I've played with pink!! not often I do that since I only have boys to scrap for myself. I've used papers from the "Garment District" line and the "Mad Tea Party" 6x6" Paper Pad.

I used a bit of gesso on the busy background and used cut outs from the "Garment District" line including some 6x6" papers from the "Mad Tea Party" line to put together some layers behind the photo. I also used some of the junque ane gems to decorate!

These are the products I've used on this layout: 

I'm actually quite happy with this layout. Would love to hear your opinion! :) Thanks for stopping by and leave us a comment and I'll leave one back! :)

Have a creative day!

Vintage Box by Ana Paula

 Hello, 

Ana Paula today bringing you another project!

 
This MDF box was decorated with beautiful products by Marion Smith

 
But ... It is not a simple box,
It will serve at a special purpose,

 
It will be part in the wedding  of a dear couple, 

friends of my family.

  At the ceremony will be deposited inside it 

small letters and good wishes of all guests...

 
...and in the one-year anniversary of marriage will be opened and read by the couple.

 
I loved it!

 

 

I made a box with a retro look ,

all lined with gorgeous paper  Documented byNirvana Collection

  and did a beautiful stylized heart  on top 

with vintage buttons and Junque & Gems by Marion Smith

 
I hope you enjoy!  

I loved doing it,

Until next time!

Altered Easter Egg Decor by Peggy Lee Baker

Hello everyone, it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing with you all my little

 Altered Easter Egg Decoration!!

With Easter next weekend this is going to come in handy,

as my table center piece! I just love to make

my own holiday decor...don't get me wrong I love store bought too...

but there is a JOY that fills my heart to make my own.

I started with a plastic egg from the dollar store....I glued the two pieces

together...gesso the egg, added a layer of crackle medium, then 

the top coat with was the pretty Folk Art Paint-Jamaican Sea! 

Marion Smith Designs Clear Stamps-Garden Rose

 I used the seal, butterfly and chicken wire image.

Adding even more texture (I didn't stamp 

perfectly either to add to the distress look) see photo below.

The other day I had created these beautiful handmade flowers using

Marion Smith Designs-Diecut Bloom Impressions Peony Petal Dies 

and Leaves & Stamens Dies.

I cut the peony petals and leaves out of crinkled up tracing paper, 

glued into a flower, adding distress ink in spun sugar and water to give

the flower a water color look...leaves I used Prima teal damask ink and water.

The last touch was the beautiful and fabulous gem center....LOVE!

Tucked a Marion Smith Designs-paper doily under the peony flowers,

resin flowers and Junque & Gems...paired with Petaloo Printed Darjeeling 

wild mini blooms in white, aqua and pink.

The egg topper is another dollar store find, glittered bunny rabbit

that I painted the Jamaican Sea, crackled and topped with gesso...looks vintage!

love the little bunny...

The Marion Smith Designs papers I used were from her

Motley Collection....I cut the pink layer at 3 inches twice punched a doily 

pattern on the edges...then I cut the next paper layer at 2 1/2 then tore the edges off...

adding some lace to the edges of the paper layers...giving a shabby feel.

Hope this finds you in the mood to create your own holiday decor,

Happy Easter 

to everyone may it be a bright and cheerful one...

hugs,

Peggy Lee
