Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

Hi Lovelies, If you love our mannequin series and wish you could have one of these lovely little ladies to call your own but don't think you have the time to make one yourself, we have a special treat for you! Christine, one of our beautiful Christmas mannequins, has been lovingly designed and handmade by Helen. She is now up for sale and could be yours! These adorable Christmas bell embellishments are just one of the many stunning pieces on this mannequin. Crisp white layers of lace, tulle and fairy mesh, with sprinkles of bows and blings adorn the intricate wire dress form. No mannequin is complete without a statement bow and Christine is dressed with a beautiful pine-green organza ribbon. A stunning assortment of Poinsettias, Gypsophila, post stamps and tiny bows have been selected to embellish Christine's bust. Our mannequins make fabulous Christmas presents or home decorations. There is only one of these lovely m...

Hi Lovelies,  The wonderful Linda has joined us again to create some seriously stunning  cards with the 'Vintage Artistry' collection from 49 and Market.  Linda designed and taught these three amazing cards a few weeks ago, and the ladies were nothing but impressed  with how they turned out! These papers are just perfect for fussy-cutting as there are so many  flowers, ferns and leaves to embellish with! To continue with the vintage theme of the collection, Linda distressed the papers and fussy-cut elements. This step is optional, yet it adds an extra element to these stunning cards. As always with Linda, a card is never truly finished without a sweet little something inside.  Linda used stained muslin, jute twine and a fussy-cut  butterfly to complete this card.  Linda's second card features a coordinating envelope embellishment to  store an eclectic of fussy-cut elements and di...

Hi Lovelies, With Christmas getting closer and closer every day,  the ladies at the Scrap N Patch are in full Christmas mode!  So, that calls for a Christmas mannequin! What's better than a beautifully decorated Christmas tree,  with twinkling mini star Christmas lights? Not much, Except Ileana. Ileana is an eclectic statement of all things Christmas,  combined to make a stunning dress! Her bodice is covered with delicate vintage lace,  bold poinsettias and tiny diamantes that twinkle just like Christmas lights  when they catch a ray of light. This stunning mannequin is so easy to personalise to your favourite  Christmas theme to match the rest of your home!  This mannequin is just stunning from every single angle!  How gorgeous is the gold bow on the back of Ileana's dress?  Helen never ceases to impress us with each mannequin - and they're...

Hi Lovelies, What says Spring more than loads of beautiful butterflies, adorable little birds and wispy ferns?  Not much I don't think. These beautiful images come from Helen's Double Layout Class featuring 'Vintage Artistry' by 49 and Market. The collection is just stunning and Helen has truly done it justice by turning it into a wonderful double page creation! Helen used a lovely chipboard sentiment from Celebr8's collection 'Good Vibes'. A finishing touch of Glossy Accents was added to the chipboard and fussy-cut butterflies. This style of layout is the perfect way to use up all your left over pieces of paper, ribbon cut-offs and anything else you could think of! Sounds great to me! Helen created this adorable pocket from some of the Vintage Artistry embellishments. It could be used purely for decorative purposes or the perfect little place to store keepsakes and letters. The various layers of paper, hessi...

Hi Lovelies,  Once again the wonderful Helen has been busy designing another  beautiful mannequin to teach for our ladies.  Here are a few sneak peak photos of this  stunning angel mannequin. This little angel is all about soft, neutral tones, layers upon layers of lace,  delicate organza ribbon and pretty pearls. For the special occasion of Christmas, Helen has expanded her talents  and created her own feather wings for this beautiful angel.  This exquisite skirt is created by sewing layers of intricate lace together.  The different textures, colours and patterns of the lace is what makes this mannequin truly stunning. Some adorable tassels have been scattered across the skirt, the perfect  finishing touch to this beautiful angel mannequin. Helen is always designing new mannequins to be taught in store.  If you love these gorgeous mannequins as much as we do,  why not ...
