"Today"
Some Inspiration From Both
A.B. Studios & 2Crafty Chipboard



Hello there paper friends, thanks so much for calling in.
Today I have another layout to share with you & it features this 
fabulous photo of my youngest son & his beautiful bride.


For this layout I have used paper from AB Studio's "Diva" collection
& as well I have teamed it all with some of my favourite


The paper I have used is actually the back of the cover from the
AB.studio "Diva" paper  collection pack & I thought it was way to nice too waste
& so I used it to create my layout.


I have added some gorgeous pieces of my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard
& I truly think the chipboard is the icing on the cake !!

This layout is up on the 2Crafty blog today as part of my design team work
 for them. It is a great blog with so much inspiration from all the girls 
so be sure to check it out.


You can't really see in the pics but I have got glitter & sparkles all over
all of the chipboard pieces, which in real life makes the whole layout sparkle & shine.


I just adore this photo of my son & his beautiful bride.
It is actually my favourite of all their wedding photos.


Be sure to pop over to the AB. Studios website & have a 
look at all their stunningly beautiful papers. 


Well thats all I have for you today.
Back soon with more inspiration.

Until then....

My Latest New Release KIT
"Delight”


Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have another layout to share with you that was actually part of my
design team work today over on the 2Crafty Chipboard BLOG.

I was so happy how it turned out that I have decided to release this one as a KIT.
So I am taking Pre Orders now for a mid August release.


As well as being part of the 2Crafty design team, my all time favourite chipboard company,
 I am also very fortunate to be a "Brand Ambassador" for the awesome A.B. Studio from Poland.
This company does the most beautiful papers, stamps, stencils & more.

So it is a match made in heaven. 💝💝


So on this layout I have used beautiful papers from A.B.Studio & did a whole lot
 of fussy cutting. As these images are actually bigger, they are not too intricate 
to cut out either.
That is always a bonus.

I have also used some sweet little white flowers & these wonderful green fabric leaves too.💖


Naturally I have used some stunning pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard here as well.

Not sure if you can see in this pic but I have also used some "crackle paste"
on the clock face frame & it looks awesome in real life.


So this kit will be $55 AUD (Aussie dollars) plus postage.
OR
$38 USD (USA dollars) plus postage

My kits come complete with all products, no need to buy extras !!
PLUS full & comprehensive typed instructions 
PLUS & MINI "TIPS & TRICKS VIDEO TUTORIAL"
also included in the cost of the kit.


For orders or enquiries email me at
vgarling@bigpond.net.au

Private Message on Facebook

To see all my kits, postage charges etc
Until next time....

A Canvas / Greeting Card
A Full Length LIVESTREAM Tutorial
On the “Create With Prima” Facebook Group


Hi there lovelies, thanks for stopping by.
Just a quick little post today to share this little mixed media canvas /card that I created
the other day in a LIVESTREAM over on the “Create With Prima” Facebook group.


You can view the full length, start to finish tutorial over on the
“Create With Prima” Facebook group.


What I did was use two little canvases the same size and punched some holes
 down the left hand side and when I had finished, I tied lots of ribbons through the holes to join them,
 I then lined the inside with lovely Prima papers, added a birthday greeting, and viola,
I had a mixed media birthday card with a difference ! 


  I did some lovely mixed media on the front canvas using a Prima Watercolour Confections,
which if you don’t know, these are Prima’s watercolour paints. 
I also used some resin pieces I had made myself too.


Lots of beautiful Prima flowers and I finished off with a 
little chipboard “Happy Birthday” greeting.


Well that’s all I have to share with you today and if you get a chance,
pop over to the Create With Prima Facebook group to view the
complete tutorial, it stays there for you to view at your leisure.

Until next time...
