dragons lair design team scrapbook page for Cinnamon Spice

This is a scrapbook page using the lovely Dragons lair Cinnamon Spice collection  , just launched this month.
find these on the Dragons Lair shop here http://dragonslairdesigns.com/shop/
and the Face Book fan page here,  https://www.facebook.com/groups/636646656454888/


I started with a 12x12 green background. See below photo to see the
First additions, the cream patterned paper I added the frame with leaves on to
It before I printed it to save too much cutting out. This and the lovely rust coloured
Striped paper was liberally spritzed with orangy gold and pearly white.



I printed all the elements I wanted and cut them out, these too were spritzed
See photo below

I then added the chosen photo from my Grand Canyon trek in 2009
And my additions above.

Anyone who had a heart

i had a great day at the range in Reading, quiet start but then a lady I have seen before came in for a chat, she had some great cards to show me  and also Miranda who makes lovely cards for charity.
These are some of the cards I made & the first one is for Hels Sheridans Sunday stamper challenge. Join in here http://pinkleart.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/sunday-stamper-week-339-anyone-who-had.html
Anyone who had a heart. I used the DoCrafts Victorian collection, stamping and colouring in the
Heart centre piece with Artiste watercolour pens


                        Here are a couple more from today's demonstration in Reading


The one above is using the French lavender capsule collection with a hearts embossing folder



The Easel card above is using an Anita's decoupage sheet of a little bunny 
In a watering can , the green stripe and yellow floral backing papers are from the 
Little Meow collection.

Cards made at Art of Craft , December 2014

these first two I made in 15 mins each including the decoupage . You can get a production line going.
If you need to make a few. Cutting out several of the matting and layering elements at once is a good start.


These next two were made in under ten mins each.



Then I made a little gift box using Bellissimo Christmas as above 2 cards


Then if you are sick of Christmas cards , how about the lovely new capsule range 
French Lavender. These following cards are adapted from the December magazine.

This adorable Christmas elf is free on dragons lair to people who join the site & promise to make and post a card using the image before the end of December.https://www.facebook.com/groups/636646656454888/





I started with an 8x8 stepper card. The front fold has a lovely light gold glitter
Card base with a punched red border. This was topped with a red glitter
Ribbon.


The back is covered with an embossed and inked checked paper.



The cute image is matted onto red. Little elf girl is decoupaged
And glittered with red stickles. 




I also printed out the image much smaller to make a matching gift card
