Madame Payraud Altered Can.

Hey there my lovelies and welcome back to another Mad About Scrappin Monday project share.  Today I have up-cycled an old stewed fruit can into a pen holder for my kitchen.  These are a quick, easy project and use up all those scraps you have....and I know you have them ;)  I also reckon they would make great gift  giving ideas that even the kidlets could do.

So without any further ado....here are some more pics of my shabby chic slash vintage pen holder!!

  I have used the wonderful Madame Payraud paper collection from my last kit along with some.....

....curly roses, paper roses and one of my large crocheted flowers.  I embellished with a few cut outs from the collection, hessian(burlap) ribbon, blue lace and I topped this with some pearl flower bead trim.  I have also snuck in one of my handmade stickpins, but you only just see it in these pics.

So my lovelies, that's all I have for you today.  I do hope you have enjoyed my layout and I have inspired you all to dive into your stash and create!! If you do get to create something like, please share it with me...I would love to see it.   Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to check out all the Mad About Scrappin links below.

Creative Inspiration - Week 46

My Goodness!!!!

The weeks to this year just seem to be screaming by at the moment.

I am back this week to share some creative inspiration with you on behalf of Mad About Scrappin using this paper range.

This week I have been playing around with some photos from our recent family holiday to 

Victor Harbor and I found this really good photo of Miss J 

(a rarity for sure!! as she avoids the camera.. not my child at all lol).

Here's the layout I have created this week.

Now I have to admit that this wood grain paper in this pack kinds frightened me. I really was not sure what to do with it. It was too big a pattern to use as a card base so I decided to play around with using it for the base of my layout. I have trimmed it slightly and matted it onto some chocolate card stock. Then I have just layered the patterned paper and photo till I was happy with the positioning and adhered it all down. I have to admit to being a little crazy with the hand cutting for this one too as I hand cut the main title word for this page. I found it quite therapeutic...lol

Then once again I went a little crazy with the hand cutting and cut of the flowers from the patterned paper. I have then layered then onto some doilies and some copper wire that Leanne sent me in the pack. I LOVE this stuff as it is so much fun to play with. 

I have added some dew drops from my stash to the centres of the flowers. I love these as they are clear so they show through the colours on the paper. They have added some extra dimension to the flowers too.

Been a while since I have played around with fussy cutting and have to admit I found it fun for a change. 

Well off to get creative for the weekend here.

Till next week.
