Sew Vintage

This vintage inspired Creation started when I found this frame in one of my favourite stores, Vintage Era.  It was actually a tile trivet, but when I saw it in the store I saw a whole lot more. 

I created the background using Graphic 45 Le Cirque, and also used this to cover my Dress Form. I also blended a mix of Tim Holtz papers with Collections Elements papers and Imaginarium Designs chipboard. I can't tell you how much fun I had creating this project with the choice of so many fantastic products at my fingertips! 

 
I used Smooch to colour the dictionary page and to give it a little shimmer, then just folded it accordian style to make the skirt.

My Travels...

I recently spent the week in Sydney working, and was so inspired and excited by walking through a park in Leichhardt.  Spring was really in full view and the sun was shining, and it really reminded me of how lucky I am.  I absolutely loved these beautiful blossoms, not to mention how cute this house was, it is not something we see where I live in Brisbane.

 
I also loved all the beautful roses in the same park, the ice pink one below was my favourite.  Next time you are out and about make some time to walk through the local parks and gardens, take your camera, and enjoy the view.
