Nathalie Kalbach Mini Album Class - Album

I had the pleasure of attending Nathalie's class here in Toronto at Bizzy B's.  We used acrylic, chipboard, papers, mists, templates, gel medium, glazes and on and on to play with a few techniques and create an album along the way.  While I finished most of the album during the 3.5 hour class, I did have to finish embellishing the inner pages at home.  Here is the result.  The pages appear in no particular order.

Oh yes and all that greenery is my garden.  Not a lot of flowers right now, as I have very little sun.  Hostas work wonderfully is this situation.

High Jinx and High Tea

I wanted to make a couple of true pop-up cards this month, rather than mechanical cards.  I was quite stumped for a bit trying to come up with an idea and then figure out what papers to use with it.  Character Constructions Bee Keeper's Tea and all the Jubilee festivities certainly put me into a tea frame of mind.  Well with the help of Graphic 45's Ladies Diary, it was easy to pull it all together.  This is what is inside the card above when it is opened.  A little help in the way of a teapot and teacup from Deviant Scrap and I rather feel like a spot of tea myself.

Well after the revitalizing power of a proper brew, I was ready to unleash my inner child.  I couldn't help myself and built a castle with a little fairy doll to live in it.
