Rob & Liz's Blessed Adventures

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.
