Down on the Farm!

 Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Well, we've finally made it into February! January has been the longest month year ever!

I know we're not out of Winter yet, but I'm looking forward to some brighter and warmer days. We were going to take my Granddaughter to a petting zoo last week, but the winds put paid to that. So in readiness for our trip later this week, I've made a loaded pocket.

I've used papers from the Relatively Thoughtful Easter Farm collection. These are so fresh and clean, and perfect for Spring makes.

I've made one of these before with the Sherlock Holmes collection. If you would like to see how that turned out, please click here
Again I've followed the tutorial from Paul Lang-Ford and I'll put the links to his Facebook group and YouTube page at the bottom.
This is the front with two large pockets.
I also cut out some of the cute animals from the cut-apart sheets. I'll add some journaling on these when I add them to the photographs.
I've trimmed the corners and added some twine to turn them into tags.
I've also cut these from the cut-apart sheets to add to the front and back.
Such cuties!
And these are the photo-mats that fit inside the pocket. They take a full 6x4 photograph, and I can also add a tag with dates and places etc.
I'll fit the photos with adhesive photo corners so that I can slide in the tag underneath with any journaling or info that I want to put on.

And this is the front all decorated up. I can put more photos in here too. The photo mats just slide inside the wallet.
As always the collection is available in both digital and A4 collections.
Take care, and have a lovely weekend whatever you are doing xx

Love Letters From Jane

Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Today I'm sharing a card made with the beautiful new Love Letters collection from Relatively Thoughtful, and a tutorial from Paul Lang-Ford (Papercrafting with Paul)

The tutorial is available for everyone to watch for free, so I'm not going to go into how this was made, except to say that it's very clever, and fits perfectly into a 6x6 envelope.
I've cut and matted my layers from the Love Letters papers. The two 4x3s are from the Stamperia Romance Forever 8x8 collection that Sally has in the store.
I've also die-cut a sentiment for one of the panels.
And here it is! It stands up beautifully and then folds perfectly to fit the envelope. Paul really is a genius with his card theory and measurements.
These papers are just so pretty!
And the Romance Forever collection co-ordinates perfectly.
I've added a few pearls and gems for decoration.
And of course, a bit of stitching just to finish it all off.
As always, the collection is available in both A4 papers, and a digital download.

Take care and have a very happy weekend x

Here's Alice Again

 Good morning, a very happy Sunday. I hope that you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. We took our decorations down yesterday, and the house looks really bare now. It also means that I have to dust again, I can't just hide it all behind the cards lol.

I've made some clusters for my first project of the year for Relatively Thoughtful. Until a couple of months ago I didn't know what clusters were, but they are handy for adding to mini albums, either for journaling, or just something pretty to look at.

I started by choosing my papers, cut-aparts and die cuts from the Alice In Wonderland collection.

Then I played around with the layers and images.


This is what they look like in the Alice Album.

You can buy the collection here in the store.
Take care, stay warm, and enjoy the rest of your weekend xx
