Hearts a flutter Chalk Board

I have been playing a lot with the hearts a flutter stamp set and More Amore papers. When I saw this wooden heart shaped chalk board I knew it would look great with these papers.
Here is what I came up with:

 I also used things from the artistic embellishment kit, Here are a couple of close ups. I should have taken a photo before I decorated so that you can compare, but didn't think of that till after!

Elements of Style Memo Holder

Another thing we have made in class is this little memo holder/organiser. Again base upon a you tube tutorial here, you tube is great for picking up new ideas and techniques. I put in a note book rather than post it notes.
This is the front of the holder, I used the Elements of Style stamp set (a gorgeous set) and the colour scheme is pacific point and tempting turquoise.

When you open it up, inside there's a pocket to hold receipts, messages etc and on the other side a decorated note book. I undid the pen and put some stamped whisper white inside. I don't know if you can tell in the picture but I used a white gel pen to hi-light some of the design on the note book, this is called the bandanna technique.

ATC/gift card Holder

Happy New Year! I can't believe it has been so long since I last blogged, I have been very busy, honest! We did something a little different in our Wednesday Class last week, an ATC holder from a great tutorial here.
I made it using the gorgeous Attic Boutique DSP, which has sadly retired now.

 It has eight pockets inside to hold eight (or more) Artist Trading Cards.  The plan is to make technique ATC's when we do a technique in class and store them in our little holder.

We all loved making them, they would make great little mini albums, you can put photo's/messages inside. I am going to try making one with ordinary envelopes as well.
