MME Lost and Found 3

Here's my eldest a year ago, looking sweet in a photo taken by Steve Hussey http://www.stevehussey.co.nz/

 

The MME Lost and Found 3 range is just stunning.  I have used some of my fav products from Scrap Box NZ.

 

I was pleased to find the Prima Crystals, which include darling little crowns.  Good value at just over $4 per pack. 

I used vellum to matt the photo for a softer effect and Bazzill antique paper for the frill.

In addition to the above products, I have used the following from Scrap Box NZ:
Vintage bird cage charm, Maya Road mini ticket and vintage flag pin, Kaisercraft pearls, and my Silhouette Cameo (to make the paper birdcage, banners and flourish).

Favour Bag

Hi there- Sally here.  School's back after 7 and a half weeks (!?!) and I enjoyed a bit of 'me' scrapping time yesterday.  It felt good to be doing something creative and to have some breathing space if you know what I mean.  The holidays were great though and on the whole we have had pretty good weather in the top of the South. 

 

So a favour bag to share today.  Something simple and sweet, ready to be filled with a few goodies.  Valentines Day treats perhaps? 

 

Scrap Box sells a few different bags- check them out http://www.scrapboxnz.com/shop/advanced_search_result.php?osCsid=57f59d411565ea861ee37bb36f42e486&keywords=bag

 

Most of the products used can be found at SB NZ:
Aqua Polka Dot Bag, Rose Petal Seam Binding, Silver Locket Charm, Green Tara Flower and Tiny Leaves, Maya Road Trinket Pin- Pearl Butterfly, Basic Grey Patterned Paper, vellum and Silhouette Cameo (pin wheel and banners).

New papers ...

I've just been loading some papers from My Minds Eye Lost & Found 3 collection into Scrap Box NZ shop.  Wow they are so nice.  The colours, glitter details and design are going to help you make some amazing layouts.  They would be great for cards too.  

Just love the blue of the "Oliver" papers along with the gold glitter is gorgeous.  Can see some really neat male pages done with these.

So too are the "Ruby" papers - Soft pink with lace and roses.  I didn't get the whole collection but just chose  the favourite ones and I'm sure when you see them you will agree they are gorgeous.

Check them out here and see if you agree I've made a good selection!!!

Back to work ...

Unfortunately holiday's can't go on forever!  Wish they could, but the money's got to come from somewhere and I still haven't found the money tree in the back yard.

Sent my husband back off to work and the swimming lesson's started today, so in our household it was a rude awakening with us all up early - gone are the sleep-ins and lazying around.

I'll be back into it tomorrow with Scrap Box NZ shop open again.  It's been a lovely break, but in the last week with The Craft & Hobbies Association on at the moment in America, I'm getting heaps email's.  Below describes what the CHA is all about: 

The CHA 2013 Winter Conference & Trade Show is much more than just another show. It’s the annual gathering of a close-knit community of creative professionals who come together to buy, learn, network and collaborate. In just four days, the show will bring together thousands of buyers and craft professionals from across the country and around the world ready to buy and source from exhibitors carrying products that range over 100+ categories.

I have already seen lots of great collections and new inspiration to get you all back into scrapbooking and card making.  Receiving emails from my suppliers with lots to tempt us all.

Hope your year has started well and you are all enjoying the summer!

2013 ! Happy New Year Everyone !

 

Hope during 2013 all your dreams come true!

Good Health
Good Cheer
And a Happy New Year!
