My Green Tara DT Reveal"Like Mother Like Daughter" and "Timeless Beauty"

Hi everyone - this is the first page for my Green Tara post today..

 Green Tara just gets better and better - new flowers and ribbons 

just seem to keep on coming.

I've used one of my  favourite Green Tara ribbons here, the pink Bead Garland,

 along with this beautiful new Flower Edged Organza Ribbon.

I've added some stamping to give my page a little more texture.

I love these small Heirloom Flowers and these little
 Wired Velvet Leaves too.

I've also added a bow using the Satin Edged Ribbon.

Lace has always been one of my favourite things and using it as a

frame  adds a little extra whimsy to my layout.  I made good use of
my Cuttlebug for this layout and I think these panels look quite good.

Roses and Mini Petals are so cute and 2 Crafty Chipboard

helps to display them perfectly.

'Timeless Beauty"

This layout combines two of my favourite colours,  purple and

green and of course Green Tara has everything in all the right colours.

I totally love the colours in these Green Tara flowers, they cluster

beautifully and compliment each other.

I've tucked in some Loop ribbon and Organza Rosettes,
 then added a few little mini flowers and Roses and of course

the 2 Crafty Chipboard  is just perfect as always

I think this pretty Flower Edged Organza Ribbon that I have simply
 inserted between my layers across the top,
really is so cute and dainty.

Thanks for dropping by.   I hope I've inspired you just a little.

Luv, Jan xx

"Once Upon a Sketch" October Challenge Remember the Good Times

 Hi everyone - this is my layout for the October Challenge over at

 Once Upon a Sketch.

The challenge is:

 

We would like you to create a layout based on this quote. 

You can interpret it ANY way you like. 

There is no wrong or right way to interpret this quote

  but your layout must incorporate something from this quote

 AND the sketch below.

 

Christmas is my favourite time of the year and this quote

 inspired me to do the page.

I've tucked a copy of the quote and my journalling tag behind the photos

to add a bit more layering to my page.

I just had to use this cute 2 Crafty Santa.  I think he adds just

 the right amount of whimsy and fun associated with children

at Christmas.

Lots of lovely Green Tara flowers and some Christmas Tree garlands
upside down to make a banner.

Why not pop over to their Blog and Facebook page and check out their fabulous 

product range.

Thanks so much for dropping by.

My Green Tara DT Post"The Magic of You" & "Special"

"The Magic of You"

Hi everyone - this is my first page for the new Design Team
over at Green Tara. It is so great to be back for another term.

I love this beautiful polka dot organza ribbon
and the purple velvet rose so much
 I just had to create a page using them.

 

The ribbon is so easy to work with and makes great bows.
 I've also added some roses, rosebuds and a gardenia.
I think these velvet leaves finish off any cluster perfectly.
 I use them all the time.

The new rainforest butterflies are so delicate and pretty.
 I've also cut separate hearts from the silver diamonte trim.

 

These new trims are so pretty - they sparkle quite a lot
and add a bit of "bling" to your pages.

I've also used quite a bit of 2 Crafty chipboard on this page -
I also added some to the background.
I have also used some Green Tara lace which I've used in my
 flower cluster and  also tucked in around the edge of the page.

"Special"

Once again the Green Tara polka dot organza ribbon inspired me -
 it comes in so many different colours and matches
all the Green Tara flowers.

One of my favourite trims is the lime green  Bud n Bow ribbon.
It is so soft and pretty.
 I've also used a little bit of Green Tara Lace for added interest.

Gardenias and roses look so good together.

 

Just look how beautifully the Green Tara
 ribbon and the flowers compliment each other.

I hope I've inspired you just a little bit.

Remember to visit Green Tara at either
their BLOG or on FACEBOOK.
