Mixed gypsy products

hi everyone ,

 i  went to the opening of  Mixed Gypsy's scrapbooking shop  on the  10th November &  saw these cute   mini albums   from  Memory Maze ,  thought  i can make  that for my  friends for  Christmas   unfortunately, i can not show you them all. as i haven't given them away,  but here is one, that has. as she wont be here for Christmas.so she  received it early   

 before

after

  I have used , Kaiser   mint wishes and   Mountain Air  papers and collectables,   some  pretty  gold  threaded    ribbon from  my abundance   of stash
 i have placed bling around the  hole in the centre as well as  inking.
the others  are completely  different  so when the presents have been given out for Christmas  i will then add these as  well

Karen from  Mixed  Gypsy asked me   straight away would i be  on her design team  . i hesitated  at first ,  but after a few days  i thought , why not ,

it was officially announced today,

thanks for looking,   hope this inspires  you
  come and have a look at  the shop if you are in the area ,more products coming soon

the happy craft creations challenge - lace

hi everyone ,

 Another layout using  lace in my layout,  i just love lace & flowers dont you.   of course i have  lots of  flowers  to last me a lifetime  in all pretty colours
On Monday,  i decided to  go to our  new scrapbooking store which has recently opened  on Saturday, 10th  November  only opened 3 days and ive been there twice lol already,
For a change im  broadening my  horizons &  papers are  no exception, today i have used papers

these   products below are all purchased  from  Mixed Gypsy's Scrapbooking Shop

Kaiser   green   swirl flourish
Close To  my Heart -  clear   glitter pen.
Black Stazon s ink
Kaiser  Lace  stamp
this is such a  beautiful range to play with
 I have cut my circle out from  my  bread and  butter plate. this works good when you  dont have or can not get to   ones machine   which i m unable to at the moment , and its just as easy to cut out by hand  instead of starting up machine  just for one thing.
i have sprayed    my chipboard, let dry,  threaded  ribbon  in lace  . sprayed the Kaiser sheet i just love this technique and do it when ever possible
to get this mottled effect,  i spray in different parts  using different colours , leave for about  half a minute then with baby wipe  wipe over the  whole of your sheet,  not enough,  just respray and  cover uncoloured parts,
i have fussy cut some of the flowers   ( not  my strongest  part  i dont do lots like some people  )
i have then assembled  my flowers  bling etc   i  just love arranging  flowers on a page ,
i have stamped with black   staz on ink the lace   stamp onto  paper  its soo pretty, 
hope you like  my layout  ,thanks for stopping by.
Happy Scrapping

Hi Everyone,   hows your day been ,

So today, for a change, i thought i  would do something  out  of character,  browns/ sepia,  not my favourite   colours,   I thought last night ,i have a  lovely photo  of me in purple, i will work on that ,but  the photo has  already been used in my mini album    dash it &  i dont like doing double of things ,  like i said  i dont have children to pass them on to so the sepia  photo  fell out of the box,  so  this is what i will work with .
 i dont usually distress any of my layouts .but today i have 
  But always love to  ink all my papers. i must have every colour of the rainbow  It makes them  pop
