Beauty in nature...

This page was made following a walk me and James took last summer. I wanted it to reflect the beauty and colour surrounding us in the pictures.

I used a flowered patterned background paper in muted tones to link in with the nature theme.

This flower is actually from a wallpaper sample I took from a decorating store, but I think it really suits this page and it became the main focal point because of its touchy feely texture.

I just love these papermania letters, They add a touch of vintage charm to the page.

Inspiration Ideas!!!

We have all suffered drom Crafters Block at one point or another, and it's not always easy to overcome. So I've compiled a list of top tips to help for when inspiration eludes you.


1- Visit haberdashery stores, the different textures, colours and patterns of the fabrics is sure to inspire. (This can also be done online for those of us who are a little lazier)

2- Reread old craft magazines. Magazines that have been gathering dust for months are full of ideas you wanted to try but never got round to. (Also craft books)

3- Visit blogs online. You can adapt any project to suit your own requirements by changing the colours, patterns, etc.

4- Craft fairs and shows. There are always lots of new products and demos to inspire.

5- Go through your photo albumn. Pictures of friends, family, nature, special occaisons, trips away etc will give you ideas.

6-Flick through your paper stash. Sometimes just looking at the different papers in your collection will get your creative juices flowing.

Hope this helps
