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....

Hello Blog Friends...
Here is another card that I have added to my Sympathy Card Collection.  I am practicing with my Martha Stewart Punch around the Page punches that I'm collecting - there is so much that one can do with these punches.  I love using them to make cards but I also use them on my layouts as another way to frame my pictures or to layer pattern paper choices to add depth to a layout.
For this particular card I used the Layered Arches punch around the page set.  The pattern paper I used is KaiserCraft English Rose Collection which is one of my favorite new paper collections.  Then I used The Spellbinders Lattice Pendant to add another dimension as I layer on the details.  On top, I used the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals Sizzix Die to fashion this flower out of some of the Prima Fairy Flora pattern paper.  This paper and the English Rose paper from Kaisercraft go so well together as the color palette and overall design of the paper are similar.  The tattered florals die is quite versatile and re-usable!  I love this die and the tattered leaves die as so much can be done with them!  Stay tuned for more to see coming up very soon on the blog.
This weekend everyone... I have the pleasure to announce a brand new Scrapbooking weekend event called "Celebrate Scraps".  It is a crop that is taking place at Fatima School in Elliot Lake!  It is a fundraiser that was created In Celebration of National Scrapbooking Month, this crop was coordinated by a caring Grandmother of one of the attending students.  She hopes, as we all do, if successful, that this event will become an annual crop!! If you are interested in attending or you want more info, please email celebrate_scraps@yahoo.ca   If you can't come and scrapbook or make cards for the weekend, come and take part in the demos that will be running all morning on Saturday morning.  Find out how to achieve some of the results you see on some of the projects that have caught your eye. I will be there providing some ideas and demos of some of my favorite tools as will Deb from OC Scrapbookers.  Deb and the team will be there with her store the whole weekend.  Come one, come all to take a look at what you can do on your pages and cards...  There is an abundance of new product to check out... whoeeee!!!   I look forward to seeing you all there...
