ARCH TWO.

 Hello everyone,

Well, it has been mentioned that I don't do things by halves and from myself, sometimes, I don't even know what I'm doing until I'm doing it..and that takes care of why I did what I did here!!..

Another Arch card which turned into a 10 page double sided booklet!!!

I started with navy cardstock for the bases..

Then into my nautical boxes and containers and cupboard to fish out my papers..all odds and sods, but all beautiful and leftovers, and heaps of them, even down to the tiniest scrap I keep..

this gorgeous die cuts a fancy top for my pockets.

The bases all joined together with washi tape, both

sides.

and before I knew it, I had got this big..

6x6 paper pad from K Mart..

and these papers are stunning Francheville Modern Coastal..

and using the next size down die it cut the measurement perfectly 

for the patterned paper..

Die cutting time..

and ephemera time..

and not a hard job at all, use all of it..

this die cut anchor had a treatment of embossing ink and silver powder..

Even A5 papers vintage and a bit grungy were used..

just cut next size down and it fitted just right..

Shell papers

and even tags using scraps..

a large ephemera ship in gold and a gold embossed sentiment stamp..

Now I'll just share the pages and try not to talk...

outside...

inside...

standing up..

untied and the charms dangling down...

all closed up and beads on the ribbon..

So there you go..exhausted,? I am..

but I love it and maybe even make another one, still have so many scraps..

Thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll see you Wednesday.

Luv CHRISSYxx

ARCH CARD..

 Hello everyone,

I cannot believe that here in my hometown it is Friday, where did last week go and still I have not scrapbooked..mmmm...I better get on next week!!

I purchased a new die, an arch one , that I have wanted for such a long time, and now, I have one and went a bit crazy..as you do.

So first up is this card for a female, with a sewing theme..

After cutting the white bases and sticking them together with hinges of washi tape it was time to get out my  ( new ) sewing papers..

and cut them all a size lower than the base..

My hinges were music note washi, so pretty, and 

all my dies came out to play..the scissors were cut

in silver, then the handles cut in red and glued on top..

and my stickers, love my stickers..

die cut buttons, the best ever as they die cut kind of thick if that makes, the

die are deep, so they come out embossed, maybe that's what I'm trying to say..

this is where you write a message, it's the last page.

I made a dangle charm with die cut scissor, small ones, in silver both sides.

Thread wrapped around a spool..

Girls on a cut circle with more buttons..

Concertina closing...

getting there...

almost...

and done, sitting on it's sage green envelope all ready to go..

thank you so much for stopping by..

I'll be back soon with a male arch card..

" D " FOR...

 Hello everyone,

Little Red Wagon  time, and our lovely Imke is our hostess and her theme is " D " for die cut..how fun and easy is that..

So out came some floral dies, Fushias to be exact, and time to cut and glued together, which was not too

difficult at all, no colouring just coloured card stock.

my panels for my card were scrap bits and I layered them up, distressed the edges a bit

and added foam tape behind some of them..

Plonked or maybe placed the flowers on and a sentiment and stood looking at it..

it needed something..

So lace was poked in here and there..

the dimension..

you can see the lace better here and a tiny little bee sitting on the leaf..

See..

and the flower stamins were dressed with gems..

and there you go..

Done..

So please do come and join us HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by..
