Sandra - something new







hmmmmmmmmm maybe Ali E's tips for trying something new is catching on!!
Sandra says -
just a couple of things to share :)A tissue box, (a gift for a friend), and a layout... on a 6x12 !!I used a Page Maps sketch for the layout and found it helped ;)Found the template for the flower on the box on the internet.. thought the flower turned out ok.
Ok? It turned out MUCH better than just ok!! I would say bloody fabulous! Great job Sandra for extending yourself. Lovely delicate handmade flower, and very cute saying on the tissue box!
and OMG at your long skinny page. L.O.V.E. it!!! The branches, the embellishment clusters- all totally wow...... and I need to know where that little tiny pink bird is from this second!!
brilliant work!

lol Amanda. right this second?
I cut it out of some kaisercraft birdsong paper..I think you might even have it ;)
would you believe I cut out three before I cut one out without cutting off a beak or a tail. lol.
Unfortunately it has photographed pink, as with the heart and title, but it is red, picking up the red of the doves eye.
sorry... rambling... haven't finished my morning coffee yet.

Here is the link girls. Hope it works.. copy and paste in the address bar.
It is for a felt flower... which I think would look great on a page too.
the paper is K&C company .. Awnings I think.

Soooooo easy.

Marika said...

Both are beautiful Sandra. I love the flower I thought it must have been brought. Am keen to try another smaller layout today. Also where do you get the 8.5 by 11 inch albumns from.

sandra said...

I can't help you there Marika... I bought one ages ago from Kmart.. but I haven't seen any lately..
Let me know if you do... I think that might be the size I might be heading to as well.

Tiff Firth said...

Ask leonie at Scrapworkz in Lincoln and she'll order them in if she doesnt have any in stock. and the page protectors too.
