Two Layouts & A Shabby Tag by Kim Price



Today I wanted to share a new layout featuring some gorgeous 
Green Tara vines, leaves and roses along with a shabby style tag and
 a recent layout I created also featuring lots of yummy flowers. 



For my first layout I wanted to feature one of the new release vines - 
which I just adore - along with some flower stems, leaves and a 
beautiful deep purple coloured fabric primula. This came together 
in no time at all - the two vines really do just speak for themselves 
without too much more added to them - just add a few roses, 
an extra flower and a couple of leaves and its done!


Green TaraProducts Used:

Primula 4.5cm Silk and Organza Flowers Purple - XF9325Pu
Vine 19cm Green with White blossoms - XL288Gr
3 Flower Sprays White - PFST1 
3 Flower Sprays Purple - PFSTPu
3cm White Roses - FDR024Wh
2cm Rose Purple - FDR009Pu
Ivory Roses 2cm - FDR006Iv
1 cm Roses Lavender - FDR001L
Small Maple Leaves Green 3cm - LA26Gr



My second project for September is a shabby tag which shows off 
a fabulous large poppy flower along with a couple of new azaleas.
 These look so stunning together and the dimension is amazing.
 Tags make a  wonderful alternative to a card or gift tag and
 can be kept as a keepsake. 
I've finished off this tag with a lace trim ribbon tied
 in a large loopy bow - perfect.



The paper azaleas are perfect for adding your own personal touch 
with a light spray of mist or even a touch of paint with a paintbrush 
works well too! This photo gives a closer look at this technique, 
where I have added a small spray of golden yellow coloured mist
 to add just a touch of variation in colour.

And finally for this month I am sharing a recent project I created
 using lots of Green Tara flowers. I wanted to cluster my flowers and 
overlap the photograph covering most of my daughters hair. I think this
 technique worked really well and this project is probably one of my 
favourite scrapbooking pages from this year.

September Blues by Jan Rankine

"Today"

Hi everyone - Jan here again today.  This month I decided
 to "go blue".


I've used a large blue and a small white "Heirloom" flower
here, along with a "Swarovski Crystal" and several little
"Roses".


Another small "Heirloom" and more roses.  I've also scattered
some small "Mini" flowers around the page.

"Those Eyes"

The beautiful "Wild Rose" flower was the hero of this page,
along with the  "Hibiscus", both in the gorgeous brown
tones I needed .  I also added a little "Brown Satin Leaf 
Garland" and "Coffee Satin Flower Garland"





I indulged in a little fussy cutting and used this to enhance
my clusters.


I also sprayed some roses and dipped some 'Maple Leaves"
in Mica Flakes.


I Glimmermisted some lace to get just the colour I wanted.

"With Love"  Card

Thanks so much for dropping by - I hope I have inspired you
just a little.

at Green Tara.

Until next time -

Two Layouts and a Card...by Sandi Smith

Hi everyone...Sandi back again today to share my latest creations
 using beautiful Green Tara goodies. My first layout is of my
 sweet girl...
no surprises there right!!!

Live Love & Enjoy

I once again got messy with stencils, molding paste and gelatos 
for the color in my background. I fussy cut some elements from the
 gorgeous Kaisercraft Curosity collection. My flower cluster
 consists of some cherry blossoms, roses, gardenias and you will also 
see the jute ribbon and bud and bow trim...just lovely!!! 
And a few closeups ...

Onto my next layout using the 7 Dots Studio Domestic Goddess
 Collection and it was made for the Paperhaus Blog.

Perfect

I used the gorgeous Heirloom flower that I colored with
 Glimmermist. You will also see the black flower spray...love to cut
 those up and tuck into the flower clusters! Of course there are
 Skeleton leaves....I seem to use those on every project!!



Green Tara Products Used: 

All chippies are from Scrapmatts.


And lastly is a card made from the Kaisercraft 
Base Coat Collection.

Remember Good Times

I tucked two white petals flowers together for my bottom 
cluster to create a more dimensional flower. The cherry blossoms
  and azaleas all compliment each other so beautifully.

That's it for me, until next month!
Happy Scrapping!

Color Combinations!!!


"Sweet Memories"


I am so in love with Green Tara blooms & the gorgeous trims also! 
You can choose any color combo for your project and find tons of 
goodies to match whatever you are doing!!! This month I've created 
several items with different color combinations.


First I have a layout using blue and yellow. I love these colors together. 
This is a photo of my gorgeous niece walking on the beach. 
I loved this pic, 
 looked like a magazine shot to me so I had to scrap it! I wanted to
 keep a beachy look so I chose my elements accordingly.




"Precious"

Next is a purple page! Purple is my favorite color, and this photo of our
adorable new Granddaughter just happened to have purple in it!!!
 I chose lots of goodies to match this one!







"New Arrival"

Last, I have one more layout with our precious Kinsey Grace! 
She is just perfect and I absolutely love scrapping her sweet little self!!!
 I hope you don't get tired of seeing her!






So, you can see the beautiful blooms in these different colour combos 
and all the choices are too many to count! I love picking my 
blooms and trims for pages with all the Green Tara goodness!
