Mini Mixed Media Canvas || StudioLight 'Romantic Vintage'

Hi all,

I have a little mixed media canvas to share today, using the StudioLight 'Romantic Vintage' collection from Cherish The Memory.

Back when I was in high school I loved painting (not that I was that good!) and I bought little canvases from The Works but never ended up using them.

 I figured 7 years in a box was too long so I got one out, flipped it over and painted it with Distress Paint. 

I stuck one of the die cut pieces in the back and layered up more inside and outside the frame. 

Thanks for stopping by!

A Sneak Peak at the new Santoro's Gorjuss collection!

Hi all
I am lucky enough to have been sent some of the new Santoro's Gorjuss products by Docrafts.
I've had a play around, scroll down to see what I made!

The range has a lovely cosy wintery feel, with tweed and tartan patterns. 

Here's what I made. 

I wanted to make use of the decoupage papers I'd been sent - I've always wanted to have a go at upcycling - so I covered a plain 8x8" scrapbook:

And in Manchester I picked up a little wooden frame and some glitter. I painted the frame with several coats of silver metallic acrylic paint, added decoupage paper, then finished it off with stripes of glitter and ribbon. I replace the glass with Gorjuss decoupage - a frame doesn't just have to be used for photographs!

And finally, a scrapbook page. I've dithered over this for days. What pictures to use. I am severely lacking in winter photos - most family ones involve people either asleep or washing up...

But I can always rely on the beautiful city of Chester to provide me with winter scrapbook layout salvation.

On this layout I've also use Bare Basics and Denim Blue products - they really complement the Gorjuss range.

Thanks for stopping by!
