oh so pretty!!! yes so pretty!!!

I have to admit i have never used Sassafrasslass products before. It has not been a line that i has ever seen, until the box turned up at Papermaze and ohhhhhh how gorgeous it is!!!!!

There are two lines currently in the shop. THe first one is Robotics., and it was perfect for doing pages for my son. .
For the first page i used the following products...


this paper is fantastic. There are soooooo many different elements on it that it is perfect for cutting up and using on your pages!!





And for this page used this gorgeous paper... On one side you have the numbers but on the other is the most gorgeous blue pattern paper you have ever seen.


The hearts on this were made from this are made from the other side of this paper..



THis page and card were done with the Sunshine Lollypop paper, and boy is it gorgeous!!
For this page i used most of the papers ( as i couldnt chose which ones to use!!! lol). The little bird was cut out of this paper. Again like the Robotics one, it is gorgeous and has loads of different elements on it for you to cut out!!




You can check out the whole line here.

Give them a hand...

I know that some of you guys who read this blog are not near enough to come to our crops. But every month we have some younger scrappers come. Now i was inspired by there work and thought that they needed to be featured on the blog.

So i put together a box of stash for each of them and sent them of. Here is what they did and i know you will agree their pages are gorgeous!!!

This page was done by Georgie. I sent her some , a basic grey large frame , prima flowers buttons and Heidi Swapp Flowers


Lily Blayney did this gorgeous page...
I sent her some Chatterbox paper, Prima flowers, little brads and some ribbon.


The Baic grey stash was sent to Fay. She was sent some - Basic grey paper, basic grey chipboard, Brads,buttons and flowers.


Hannah was given Fancy Pants paper, flowers,.



I think these pages are gorgeous!!! and thanks girls for taking part. leave them a comment and tell them!!!

Ohhhhhhhhhh so pretty!!!

SO the other day a big box turned up at the shop and there was all the new Scenic Route. All i can say is wow!!!!!!!!! the colours of these papers are just too gorgeous! they are bright and really colourful and as usual the backs of the pattern paper is just as gorgeous as the front.

We were lucky that Vanessa managed to get some samples of this on her trip to CHA so a few of the design team girls got to play early!!!

come and see what they have done!

Angie...

And with this layout and the card below show that the surf board pattern paper doesnt have to be just for surfing. They make really good flowers!!!
Wendy...


Chloe
I love how Chloe cut out the flowers on the pattern paper, so gorgeous!!!!

Check here for the new Scenic Route line!!!

circle time!!!

So last week we started a competition. I found this photo on Flickr and thought it was beautiful. SO the idea was for you to use it to inspire you. You could use any part, the circles,colour,frame,to do a card,page or altered item. In fact use it anyway to make anything you like.

THis time around i challenged a few members of the design team to have ago as well. And this is what they came up with.

Wendy used the Basic grey sultry line for this card. Copying the circle idea for the edge of the card and the stitching and colour.

Angie loved the whole concept of the circles and copied it onto her page. she used Love Elsie Riley papers and to make them standout she used foam pads on each layer. TO make the stitch marks she used a pen.

Karen's page was done using the new Daisy Bucket designs paper. She used the Line Playlist for this page, Bazzill card,Queen and co big brads and basic grey letter stickers from Lilly Kate.


Chloe copied the felt circles on her lift. She used Basic grey Mellow paper and felt for the circles.


The competition deadline is the 9th of April and the winner will recieve a collection pack of there choice from Basic grey. SO send your creations to wendy@bbbweb.com.

American Crafts has landed!!!

When i say these papers are beautiful i mean really beautiful. American crafts went one better this time and made several of the papers differently.
The one below is varnished, it has a beautiful sheen to it and it is just stunningly beautiful. And is perfect for cutting out the individual flowers.

The circle one is foiled and again so different but stunning! and they really make a difference to your pages.
And as i promised in my previous post, people there is SCALLOPED RIBBON IN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!! and it is just gorgeous. It comes in 6 different colours - white, black, brown,pink , purple and blue. And i am not exaggerating when i say it is gorgeous!!!!


So a few of our design team where lucky enough to get to play with this a few weeks ago when Vanessa bought home some samples from CHA. So we did some examples for you....

A few things...

There are so many things arriving at the Papermaze shop at the moment that some of them get missed, so i thought i would show you a couple of them.

First of the new April issue of Creating Keepsakes is in. And i am looking forward to reading the stapler article as i love my stapler. It is great for making ribbon stick to the page.

THese ribbons from May Arts are just gorgeous!!!!!! the fluffly bits are soooooooo soft and raised of the rest of the ribbon. It is different and just perfect for your pages and the colours are totally yummy!!!
