LOVE Scrapbook album


A while back I bought a couple of 'love' mini albums. I think they would make a lovely gift for anybody getting engaged, married or just to organise those important photos to cherish for years to come.




Had lots of fun decorating it with my new Papermania papers from the Madame Payraud's range that gives the whole album that vintage and romantic look. I have also played around with coordinating ribbons, lace, flowers and other embellishments. 
Here is the finished album:









I also added a couple of extra pages to make it a little bit more special












Hope you liked it x

Altered box

This is my first attempt at altering a box. I used papers from the Papermania Botanical range, adhesive lace, flowers and charms I purchased on Ebay a while back.







Have to say I really enjoyed this project and I am planning to make a few more.  I think I will try with different styles as well.

Hanging decoration - Love vintage

Here we go...my first post! EEEEKKK!!! So excited!

This is an altered item I worked on last week.  It's a small window that measures approx 5"x7".
First of all I painted it using some paint dabbers I picked up during my trip to America a while back.  After that I placed some paper from the Papermania Botanical collection at the back of the window pane and stamped a small butterfly in one of the panes. Then I tore some Papermania tissue paper and glued it on two corners. I also used 3 roses and gave the window a vintage look by dabbing it with gesso.

Here is the finished project:
