Some Cards From Me

Hi there everyone just a quickie from me tonight as I completely forgot to do my posting for today. I just want to show you a couple of cards that I’ve made using the gorgeous papers from the August Kit from the Crafty Alley.

For this card I’ve used the large green flower, button and papers from the August Kit.

On this card I’ve used the very yummy papers that is in the August Kit.

And here is the last card that I want to show you using the papers from the August Kit. For the edges I’ve inked them up using clear embossing powder and then sprinkled Gold Glitter Embossing powder over it and then used my heat gun to melt it.

Hope that this has given you some ideas.

Wedding Layout

Hi there everyone and thanks for stopping by. Today I’d like to show you a layout that I’ve done. I was meant to show you this last Monday but wanted to keep it until today as today is a very special day for me as it would have been my lovely Mum’s 66th Birthday but very sadly she was taken from us December 2007. Today is also my 11th Wedding Anniversary so I thought what better way to celebrate the two occasions in creating a Wedding layout using a photo of my Mum & Dad’s Wedding Day (it’s kind of a little gift to my Mum)

The DP are from the August Kit from the Crafty Alley and for the green papers I’ve just ripped the edges exposing the white underneath and then inked it up using Frayed Burlap.

The journaling tag is also in the August Kit from Crafty Alley.

I made the yellow roses myself as these was my Mum’s favourite flowers and I created these using my slice machine.

I didn’t have any of the swirl adhesive gems so I created my own using silver beads, glue and a lot of patience, LOL – But I think it turned out ok.

The butterfly I’ve used is also in the August Kit from the Crafty Alley and I’ve glued some of the silver beads to the body.

As I want to be able to see this all the time, I’ve put it in a picture frame and will hang it in the hallway. I’ve still got to stain the frame itself but just wanted to show you the finished look.

I hope that this has given some ideas on how to use the elements from the August Kit.

Blessings On A Warm Summer Day...

Happy Friday Gals,

I have a 12x12 layout that I created of my 3 children using supplies from the August Crafty Alley kit.

It is a really simple layout as I'm trying to fill an album that I started several years ago. I'm trying to keep the dimensional layouts to a minimum so they will fit in the page protectors. :c) Do you ever have that problem?

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure and check out the Crafty Alley shop for all of the latest products.

"Family" Word Album

Hi Ladies,

I've been having fun creating a "Family" mini album from the BoBunny Word Book that was in the August Crafty Alley kit. It's not all decorated just yet, but I wanted to share a little sneak peak with you. I really love all of the papers and the embellishments in this amazing kit. The gorgeous lace came from the Crafty Alley Shop as well.

I hope you're enjoying the August kit as much as I am. Perhaps I'll share the completed pages of my mini with you later this month when I have it finished.

Nursery Door Hanger

Hi there and thanks for stopping by. Today it’s my turn to show you my project that I’ve made using materials from the August Kit from the Crafty Alley.

I’ve made this hanger completely from scratch using just cereal boxes as a base, I’ve taken photos along the way of creating this project so I shall do a tutorial for you another day.

Materials used from the kit :- DP, brass button, key embellishment, butterfly and Dried Marigold Distress Crackle Paint.

Hope you like this little project and that it gives you some ideas for creations with your August kit.

Forever Joyful

Hi Ladies,

I used the yummy papers and embellishments from the August Crafty Alley kit to create this meandering mini. It measures 3"x3" and the base was created using 1 sheet of 12x12 paper. The covers are coasters/beverage mats. This was a really fun, quick project to create (only took about 2 hours) and it's all ready for me to add photos. Hope you like it and that it inspires you to create some really fun projects with your August kit.

Another Couple of Cards From Me

Hi there everyone and hope you’re enjoying the long weekend. Today I’d like to show you a couple of cards that I’ve made using the gorgeous items from  the August kit from the Crafty Alley.

First off I’d like to show you this card that I've made using the DP from the August Kit and I’ve gone round the edges using gold stickles.

The image is from Pollycraft and I’ve coloured her using my new AquaMarker pens from Letraset.

The metal embellishment and butterfly is also from the August Kit.

The flowers I made myself using various punches.

This is another card that I’ve made using the gorgeous papers from the August Kit.

The image that I’ve used is from Whiff of Joy and I’ve coloured Willow using my new AquaMarkers from Letraset. I’ve gone round the edges of the image using Victorian Velvet Distress inks that was in a previous kit.

The strands that I’ve used on my card is also from the August kit.

The large pink flower is from a previous kit and the roses I made myself using various dies.

I hope that these cards have given you an idea of the gorgeous papers and items that are in this August Kit.

Thanks for stopping by today.

A Couple of Cards And a Sneaky Peak

Hi there everyone and hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I’d like to show you a couple of cards that I’ve made using the gorgeous DP from  the July kit and also a sneak peak into the August kit.

For this card I’ve used the adorable ‘Fairy Tallulah’ from Digi Stamp Boutique and I’ve coloured her using my ProMarker pens.

The DP is from the July kit along with the self-adhesive yellow gems.

The flowers I made myself using various dies.

For this card I’ve used one of the gorgeous Crystal Fairy images from Pollycraft and again I’ve coloured her using my ProMarker pens. I’ve inked the edges up using Frayed Burlap Distress Inks from the Crafty Alley.

The DP is from the new August Kit which will be available very soon.

The flowers I made myself using various dies.

I also just want to show the gorgeous embellishments that is included in the August kit

Along with 9 Maya Road Kraft Journaling Tags and then there is also 50 12x12 K&Company Classic Paper Collection (which everyone I love)

Because there’s so much in the August kit, there’s a limited amount, so once they’re gone you won’t be able to get your hands on it. So you’d better be quick to avoid a disappointment.

Ok well that’s it from me today and I hope that you’ve enjoyed a sneak peak into the August kit.
