CD Covers (unfunctional)

Oh boy I haven't posted for ages. Probably because I haven't been making anything. But here is some CD covers my friend Jade and I worked on.



 This is the otherside.
And below the next pair.

Acrylic Memory Book

This is another memory book created by one of my former staff members (Angie McMinn) who worked at my mega (?) store, Scrapbookers' Delight on the Northshore.








This book is full of fascinating what nots.

Heidi Swapp Memory Book

I'm uploading some of the work that my staff had done while working at Scrapbookers' Delight in our Northshore shop.

This one is a memory book made up by Tracy Dixon. We used a selection of Heidi Swapp papers.

Visual diary notes

Here are some more glimpses into my visual diary.


This one shows designs (swirly ones) that I liked to use in my own artist's business card (which incidentally I never did get done).


This one shows colour palettes I like the look of, and then mixing up those very same colours for my own experimentation.

More Victoriana - collection






I got these old puzzles from an antique shop. I just love the nostalgia of them.

Ephemera board

These were photos I had taken on our family's summer trip to the Bay of Islands (New Zealand) back in 2008.

We went to a museum and as you may well know I am fascinated with ephemera and there they had a board featuring Victoriana postcards, etc.

On the Carousel

I know I haven't blogged for ages, so here we go not much but it's a photo of my youngest on a carousel at the fairground. Not the best of photos, although the over exposure can almost work aesthetically.

I have used a lot of Prima Flowers and made it quite girly, as this kid is very girly.
