Tattered Inspirations

Have I got something pretty to show you today....

I received this beautiful package in the mail a couple of weeks ago - an order I had placed with an etsy store called - Tattered Inspirations....

The presentation and extra little things attached to the packaging made it feel that wee bit extra special....



Tattered Inspirations is run by the gorgeous Carol Mead over in Canberra, and the etsy shop is HERE....

There is also a blog - HERE....


Carol makes mini kits for scrapbooking and cardmaking.....

This is what came in my package.....


Here's a few close ups....














I have opened one of the kits to show what is included....


Carol makes the stick pins herself.....

All the elements are gorgeous, from the ribbons, buttons, crochet doilies, cameos, tickets, and cards. And each little kit is so co-ordinated....


I had to use one straight away....

So, this first kit I have used is called "Gabriella Mini Kit"


Here are all the bits included....


And, this is what I came up with. Layout took me about an hour to put together - speed scrapping....LOL



ALL the embellishments on the page are from this gorgeous little kit....

The papers are Kaiser "Duchess" collection....

With a Kaiser rub-on for the title....


The floral lace circle the stick pin is attached to started out like this (below)....

I just stitched along the lower edge (with a plain running stitch), and then pulled it tight on itself - voila!! Then stuck the pin in....



The beautiful cameo......

Must admit, these were what drew me in in the first place.....


The beautiful lace, tiny rose and one of the cards.....




Closer view of the rolled flower and crochet doily.....



And the gorgeous stick pin, again....


Photo is Darling Granddaughter Rebekah when she was just 4 months old.....


So, there we have it, a quick layout, with all the elements already selected and co-ordinated, just choose your papers, and go.....

Hope to get another layout done soon using one of these great little kits.....

Meanwhile, DT obligations pending.....

Be back soon....

Hugs
