Well it’s Christmas Eve here in Australia.. & I thought I’d get into the spirit of things & create all things Christmas......
Now! I LOVE creating layouts... Layouts are my thing OH! a Card here & there too.. BUT! the other Green Tara Designers are creating such AMAZING OTP projects that it has got me to spread my wings so to speak & try OTP Project SO!

First up is the photo frame...  I have dabbed lots of gesso around the frame! Then stamped, inked, sprayed,added  some micro beads to give  a mixed media feel to it!! Finishing it off by adding lots of GORGEOUS Green Tara goodness....

The wire stars are one of my FAVES from Green Tara Products... BUT! then again I have lots of  Green Tara FAVES...   LOL! these beauties come a few colours....

I’ve left these  plain! Don’t they look FANTASTIC.....

A Christmas Bauble and 2 Layouts By Kim Price

My goodness, Christmas is now only a few days away - where did the year go? I have to admit I am probably at my most disorganised this year but I did manage to get some creative time in with the season in mind. 

My first project to share this month is a very festive Christmas Tree bauble, Green Tara style! This truly is one of those WOW items - it has amazing impact with all those gorgeous White Green Tara flowers and it was so very simple and fast to create. All you need are a bundle of Green Tara flowers and trim, a styrofoam ball and some strong adhesive! It really is that easy. 

Green Tara products used:

Satin Rat Tail Cord Mushroom - RB1204Mr

Herringbone Ribbon Red - RB405R

Stars On Wire Silver - RBY18S

Flower Edge Organza White - RB221Wh

Gardenias White - FDV054Wh

Apple Blossoms White - FDV044Wh

Cherry Blossoms White - FLC22Wh

Roses 2cm White - FDR009Wh

This layout was created using a photograph of my daughter as the "mirror" on this chipboard dresser along with a variety of Green Tara flowers, leaves and lace. I wanted to create something a little different to the usual scrapbooking page and I think it works well to showcase the beauty of the Green Tara products perfectly. I really like the overall triangular design. 

This photo showcases these really pretty pale blue hydrangeas - and I have added small turquoise coloured roses to the centres for that finishing touch. I have also included a spray of little white flowers and some smoke coloured crystals, not forgetting that gorgeous little silver heart to the left.

Some calla lilies and a white cherry blossom along with a white sakura bloom and a cluster of rosebuds.

Beneath both of the flower clusters I have used some gorgeous white Green Tara lace for a little extra texture and interest. 

Here is the products list used in the above project:

3cm White Lace - L2853W

Calla Lilies Ivory With Brown Stamen - FDV051Iv/B10 

Fern Green 7cm - LA22Gr

Cherry Blossoms White - FLC22Wh

3 Layer Gardenia Red - FDV054R

Pale Blue Hydrangeas - FLT18PB

Sakura Silk & Pearl Flower White - XF9221Wh 

Apple Blossom White - FDV044Wh

3cm Rose Red - FDR024R

1.5cm Rose Turquoise - FDR003Tu

1.5cm Rose Ivory - FDR003Iv

1.5cm Rose Red - FDR003R 

Mini Rosebud Turquoise - FDV025Tu

Mini Rosebud White - FDV025Wh

1.5cm Flower White - FDVW

Silver Diamante Heart Trim - RBY19

And lastly I have a layout created in a more classic style, using Green Tara lace as part of my background adding gorgeous vintage style texture. I created this layout using a photograph of my wedding dress along with my great great grandmother's cameo brooch (it was accidentally dropped in the street and run over by a horse drawn cart and still has the original crack in it!) which has been handed down to me and I wore it on my wedding day, my grandmothers wedding and engagement rings and my mother's wedding and engagement rings.

I've used some new Green Tara flowers including a Christmas Vine, a 6.5cm Heirloom
 Silk and Organza flower and a Wild Rose.

Some Green Tara GoodiesBy Linda Thompson

It's my turn again to show off some fantastic products from Green Tara.
Today I have a layout & two cards to share with you.
 

"Bundle Of Joy"



A couple of first for me, this is my very first grandbaby and my first

 boy page in what seams like forever.

Beautiful Damask flower in aqua teamed up with a white gardenia,

 peach apple blossoms and some little roses. The gardenia has

 been inked with a bright orange ink. White paper leaves and a

 cut up silver spray have also been added.

Another small cluster of flowers, silver spray and white leaves,

 this time a apple blossom is the main flower.

I love this ribbon so easy to use in so many ways.

I have created the background using strips of cobweb and

 mesh ribbon. Using some wire cord I created the string for the 2 kites.

"Smile Card"

I'm not really a card person but I had an urge.

 Stitched Grosgrain in pink & green was used to create a 

criss cross  background then covered in Modge Podge.

A cluster of beautiful new blooms from Green Tara including Pink

 Heirloom & Green Primula, with a cherry blossom, each flower

 has had the tips painted with white paint, the flowers make the top

 of a little painted chipboard tree.

Ivory Apple blossom & Stripe ribbon both have had a little paint 

added. Organza spatter ribbon was cut in half length ways and then

 small cuts made in the side without the wire to create grass

 under the little bear.

Texture paste and a tree mask used to extend the top of the

 tree across the card.

1.5cm roses were used on the extra branches the smaller rose had the 

irst 2 outer layers removed to make it appear smaller than the other.

"Beauty", Three Cards and "Wrap Up for Christmas" by Jan Rankine

 Hi everyone - it doesn't matter what colour you need for a layout,

Green Tara has it.  I loved doing this page in beautiful, vibrant red

using several different flowers.

I have teamed some of their gorgeous fabric flowers with

roses, daisies & finished off with some of their velvet leaves.

 

Stamping, distressing, inking, some more flowers and the

addition of some rather spectacular chipboard
 finishes this page off perfectly.

Ribbons on this card which I've listed below.

Pale Green Primula.  Fitting in beautifully is one

gorgeous Mint Rose and two Skeleton Leaves.

4cm Heirloom and 4.5cm Primula, a Cherry Blossom,

 some Roses and Velvet Leaves, all available in
exactly the colour you want.  Five Ribbons once again

"Wrap Up For Christmas"

This was a layout I did for a challenge over at "Once Upon a Sketch".

Of course we don't have snow in Australia at Christmas but I thought

this gorgeous photo just had be scrapped about snow.

  

This gorgeous Wild Rose flower looks just right.

I'm particularly partial to butterflies and this little quote quite

touched my heart.
