Hello everyone, I hope you are all well .
Sadly this is my last post for
Megs Garden
I have decided to step down from two of my Design teams
you will still see my work on Maja design , Dusty Attic and CSI
This year has been exhausting for me
with Baden having Cancer and an ongoing health issue of my own
I am feeling burnt out .
Meg very kindly invited me to do some guest spots if I want to .
Thanks so much Meg for having me on the team for more than 2 years
I have enjoyed the journey designing with the unique papers, big hugz x .
Today I have another layout for you using the new Correspondence Paper Collection
designed by Kerry-Jean Watson for Megs Garden
these papers are the perfect marriage with the earthy hues I love .
JOURNEY
the stunning photograph was taken by GEORGE SAAD
I am very grateful George gave me permission to use his photos in my work
I created lots of different shaped tags with the paper and have them poking out from under the layers.

MOMENTS
I love to light candles each night and watch the dappled light create a soft relaxing atmosphere.
when I saw these papers I knew I would use this photograph .
I used lots of layering with diecuts
These blooms work in perfectly with the theme .
a cluster of the rose buds, the small ivory roses
with some diecut leaves .
I cut this heart with the paper and then light rubbed on some Rusty hinge distress ink
to create contrast ( these papers absorb the distress ink beautifully )
for the final touch I applied some crackle paint and a vintage brad .
lots of layering of diecuts with touches of Rusty Hinge distress ink
more layering under the photo
I find that the extra strips of matching paper
are fabulous for layering on my work .
