Hi Lovelies, I'm back with some wonderful photos to share with you from May's addition to Helen's Fairie Dust Album! Just like the previous months, this page is just stunning and full of mystical little fairies ans sparkling embellishments. May's design has this gorgeous little stack of fussy cut elements decorated with tiny pearls. This section is the perfect spot to write down some details or you can leave it blank if you wish! This Fairie Dust Album is full of interactive elements which suits the mystical nature of the album perfectly and makes it a bundle of fun to look through! For this month Helen has designed a miniature book which is both beautiful and practical, allowing you to store multiple photos and providing ample space for journaling! We're noticing a reoccurring element in all of this albums pages, which is this sparkly glitter thread, and we love it! It's such a simple little element to add to any of your projects if you...

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm sharing with you the next addition to our Fairie Dust Album of the Year! If you've seen our  previous posts on this Album, you would know it features the wonderful Graphic 45 Fairie Dust range which is full of beautiful fairies, delicate flowers and many magical patterns, which you will get to see more of below! Each page of this album has been uniquely designed by the wonderful Helen and there is a stunning new design each month. March's page design has a gorgeous halo of fussy-cut fairies surrounding your chosen photo in the centre of the page. There is also plenty of space at the bottom of the page to journal some precious memories. This silver glitter paper is the perfect accompaniment for this Fairie Dust collection, adding just the right amount of sparkle to the page. Helen has also used Giltzin' Glamour to add a small amount of shimmer to the fairies. Adding various little layers and features to your album makes it really st...

Hi Lovelies, I'm back again to show you INSIDE the Fairie Dust Year of Photos Album! For this series of classes, ladies create a new page in the album each month and this year we are using a single stunning range.   Things are always busy at the start of the year, so to catch up, both the Album and the January page were made on the one day!   Helen is a master at layering techniques and attendees are sure to pick these up in classes throughout the year. Her albums are always stunning which can be attributed to layering the right patterned and solid papers and complimenting them with gorgeous embellishments.   This vibrant green tassel accompanied by a delicate bow at the top of the page is only a portion of the luxurious embellishments to come in this Album. February's page features three lovely cut outs with a glitter mat, which have been foam mounted onto the page. A very simple method which creates a beautiful ...

Hi Lovelies, Today I'm gracing your eyes with this absolutely stunning album, full of sparkly string, glittery flowers, delicate fairies and plenty of pearls. This wonderful album is this year's 'Year of Photos' class, featuring Fairie Dust by Graphic 45. Ladies started off this year's album by creating a beautiful cover under the instruction of the lovely Helen. Everything about this paper collection and Album is just magically stunning.  The pages are decorated with whimsical designs and perfect for the fussy cutting enthusiast. From the front cover, to the back cover and even the spine, this album just boasts of beauty.  Of course, in Helen's nature the spine is decorated with a gorgeous silky bow and adorable cut  outs. I hope you've enjoyed getting a little glimpse into this year's stunning album.  We do have two last minute vacancies in this class but only for a limited time. Please contact us if you wo...

Hi Lovelies,  With only a few days left till our final Mega Scrap for the year,  I thought I might tease you with a few sneak peek photos  from these STUNNING layouts! Helen has used the sparkling new Graphic 45 range 'Winter Wonderland'  to create ten gorgeous layouts for the ten lucky ladies attending!    The range is filled with adorable little birds amongst pine trees, holly and poinsettia,  you might even spy a few tiny squirrels! Each layout is unique and involves various techniques which  can be used in all of your other projects.  Our Mega Scrap classes are truly something special as Helen is so talented, caring and entertaining.    I don't know about you, but these layouts are just stunning! I can't take my eyes off them. Look at this stunning chipboard accent with a beautiful layer of shimmery glitter. Our Mega Scrap Classes often sell out right away, so if you're...

Hi Lovelies, Today's post is the stunning Double Layout for July using Graphic 45's 'Nature Sketchbook'. The bold, bright colours in this range were just destined to create a fun filled layout as such.  This month the pages are scattered with vibrant butterflies, hand died flowers and die-cut ferns. Helen has used a selection of Tim Holtz Distress Inks including 'Candied Apple', 'Blueprint Sketch' and 'Wild Honey' to die paper flowers, ensuring they match the colours in the paper range. These adorable little butterflies have been fussy cut and finished off with a coat of glossy accents.  As Helen has done, when using beautifully patterned papers like Graphic 45's, a simple plain cardstock background can make all the elements jump off the page, creating a striking layout.  If you're loving our posts about the Layout of the Month kits, why not contact us to be put on our pre-order list to mak...

Hi lovelies, Recently we shared a beautiful Graphic 45 Nature's Sketchbook Box created by Helen.  Today I'd love to show you the stunning coordinating cards that belong inside, designed by the lovely Linda.  Linda has used various embellishments to compliment these gorgeous papers,  such as this adorable little dragonfly cabochon. This card is so sweet and is one of my favourites!  Making cleaver use of the 'Bee Yourself' sentiment, Linda has used a nesting honeycomb die, the bee paper and an adorable metal bee embellishment to create this lovely card.  Glossy accents, dyed muslin and a fussy cut butterfly are  perfect accompaniments to the beautiful patterns and verses from this paper range. This card is a sure winner for the lovers of ferns.  With a patterned fern background and a statement fern journalling card, what more could you want! As always, Linda's cards are truly stunning. ...

Hi lovelies  It seems like forever since I did a blog post.   A day or 2 go by and suddenly months have passed. I wanted to share with you the latest Box and Card class that was taught by Helen and Linda. This time these talented ladies chose to use  Graphic 45's Nature Sketchbook range, and the results were stunning. Helen created this gorgeous box from an encyclopedia cover. The lid featured a garden filled butterflies, flowers, branches and leaves.  While the inside was a little less embellished it is a perfect accompaniment for Linda's cards. Till next time.
