Final Shimmerz project

Hello lovely visitors,
I thought that today I would have a vintage collage project going live over on the Shimmerz blog. 
However as I also wanted to announce that I have decided to resign from their team, as life has taken me in a different direction, it now appears that they have removed me from their blog, as some of you told me, the link did not work anymore... too bad, I'll just post the full project here :o)

I had great fun creating this vintage collage. I used a bit of old Indigoblu scrapbook papers, sanded it down, added some texture with the help of a stencil and Grungepaste and then used various Shimmerz sprays to age and alter it. The postcard was cut from another bit of paper as was the air balloon and a little sentiment finished it all off. Below are a few close up photos:

Thanks for dropping in and I hope that so far you are having a good month! I'll give you an update on my trip to China very soon. Meanwhile, waving hi from Australia, and in the days and weeks to come I will post some of my other Shimmerz projects here :o)

Passport to Paris and some journal freebies

Hello lovely visitors, welcome. Today I am sharing a little passport sized notebook created with the Eileen Hull passport die over on the Shimmerz blog, so just a little preview here. You can find the rest of it HERE

I have also designed a number of freebies, for those of you who like to create little books like this. 
The first two sets of two double pages are sized to be printed on A4 or 8.5 by 11 papers and fit Eileen Hull's passport die exactly they are 6.5 by 4.75" per double page,

 This next set is sized to fit the Midori sized travel journal as inserts, they are 21 cm by 21 cm (8.25 by 8.25 approx) I would suggest if you print these pages set your printer setting to landscape orientation. It might be wise to open them in a photo editing programme first and to make sure they are down loaded to the right size, if not just resize them to the correct size and they should print correctly. The size is just right to create inserts for the Eileen Hull Journal die

Well, that's it for now, and if you want to see how I used some of these in my little journal, just click here

Thanks for your visit like always
