OLD WORLD DESIGNS

The journey of creating begins with a spark from deep within. The artist continues on the loom of life and throughout time a beautiful tapestry takes shape and form from the luscious fibres, brilliant gems and precious pearls we encounter along the way....

Another StoryBook Layout!!



See how much I love this cartridge??  Provocraft's cricut cartridge, "Storybook".  This is another of my older layouts but I love this cartridge so much that I have to show the work I have done using it.  Do you recognize the circle picture frame...again?  Click onto the pictures to see a closer view.  Many of you already know that I am an avid cardmaker as well as a scrapbooker.  I have decided to feature more layouts at this time as I feel there are not enough of us out there putting our scrapbooking work on the blogs, but for those of you who like to see my cards, I will still be posting cards from time to time as I go along. 
In this layout you see the details that I am fond of in my work as I layer them on. You may recognize my card style in this layout too as I begin to cross over from cardmaking to scrapbooking, using the tools I originally picked up to use with cards in mind, but thinking out of the box I began using them on my layouts as well.  In this layout I have used Spellbinders dies (for the journalling card inside the pocket I created) Mega rectangles, a Martha Stewart border punch, Cuttlebug embossing folders, my wonderful embroidery sewing machine to sew around the some of the pictures and detail mats I added -(notice the bling zipper I used), I added more bling and pearls from KaiserCraft, and some dreamy Fairy Princess Karen Foster pattern paper.  All of the tools and products I used can be found at OC Scrapbookers online store
Take a close look at the details and let me know what you think..  Please leave a comment for me and if you have any questions, feel free to email and I will get back to you.  You can subscribe directly to my feed if you would like to visit again any time I post a new project.  My feedburner subscriber is easy to use, just put in your email address and you will get an email alert each time I post a project to my blog. I am trying to build up my subscriber list in order to do a  blog candy giveaway.  My goal is 100 subscribers and I am currently at 43.  See the subscriber application on the left hand column here, right beside this post.  I will be back to post some more crafty creations very soon... hugs, k
