Hi there everyone!
Yesterday I was up at the Hobbyworld blog, showing this LO I did using the Basic Grey- Fiction, and Basic Grey- Picadilly.

I just Love that the BG lines are so versatile and easy to mix and match.
Have you seen that lots of the new stuff at CHA is using lots of chevron and feathers? Well I got so Inspired by my dear friend Lilith who is a fantastic artist, she often use stamped feather on her LOs.

I love to make layers, adding texture and different embellishments on my LOs.. but have you noticed… no Doily.. **lol*

I have used my silhouette to cut out the cogs and tabs.

Materials used:
Basic grey- fiction, picadilly, kissing booth
Prima buttons
Silhouette shapes
Twine- The Twinery
Adhesive- Heidi Swapp
Foam dots- Best Creations
Chevron Template- Scrap FX

Have you seen those new paperlines from BC? there is three lines released this month,

Gone Camping, Baseball and… I love America, all three paperlines is gorgeous… and if you look close on the Nook VC banner you can get a little sneek for the Gone camping line 😉

I thought the Baseball line would be the hard one for me to use, but I already have a few ideas buzzing in my head for that one 🙂

well enough said about that,,,, there have been some updates on the BC blog this week, and I have a few things showing there 🙂

first, a LO about easter traditions

and second the DT shows their favourite techniques for papercrafting… and I showed this page

and my technique was folding paperstripes to fans and making small paperroses…

If you want to make those yourself I have a small tutorial up on Youtube for that one 🙂

Have a great day!!

Now for my Mini Album Ive used Kraft Cardstock as a base, I trimmed it down to 3pcs 4″ each, that I folded and put together with the Helmar Glueroller. After that I added the gorgeous GP#405 Surfs up paper from Best Creations, I love that orange colour in the paper and Ive used the glitter Cardstock GCS064-diamond to punch out some cute butterflies 🙂

The Edge punch I have used is from EK success, and called Round binding.

the adhesives Ive used is the Helmar Glue runner and the Large round Zapdots.
