A lay-out by Romy with the new releases

Last week a beautiful parcel arrived on my doorstep which was packed with Inkido's gorgeous new releases. Of course I couldn't help myself starting to create with them immediately. This is the first lay-out that I made with the brand new "Spring Time" collection. 

Inkido Supplies:

Spring Time - Butterflies

Spring Time - Easter Tags

Spring Time - Happy Easter

Spring Time - Hearts

Beautiful Memories - Butterflies and Borders

Beautiful Memories - Beige Anemon

Tiffany Jewels Earth

This lay-out is my example for the March mood board challenge. I was inspired by the bling that is in the mood board and decided to also incorporated some bling in my lay-out. 

As you can see, I used the gorgeous Tiffany Jewels in my embellishments clusters to add a bit of bling to my lay-out. I also used jewel flourishes to further embellish my lay-out. 

Of course I couldn't resist incorporating some beautiful fussy cut butterflies as well. The Inkido papers really have some of the most wonderful butterflies printed on them, in my unbiased opinion :) 

I also added some journaling to my lay-out. The journaling is a reminder that I should enjoy life to the fullest, because we only live life once. 

Thank you so much for your visit to the Inkido blog today!

Have a great day!

'Tween' and a look at the NEW Inkido collection!!

Hi, it's me Bente here to share my 2nd lo for January.
I had this photo laying on my scraptable for a long time waiting to scrap it.I think it is pretty cute. The hands belong to my youngest DD and she was twelve when I took it. When I look at the photo it truly takes me back to what I felt like when I was a young girl, almost a teenager.
It is important to preserve the everyday memories and I wanted to document this.

It was easy to mix quite a few different papers as Inkido has such a comprehensive collection.
Most of the collections mix very well. Makes it easy to create pages that turn out differently just by adding another pattern from our stash.

As always I adore using some fussy cut butterflies on my page.

The beautiful lace you see here is also sold by Inkido. And they have other pretty styles as well.

Aaah!  I didn't think so!!

They are simply GORGEOUS - too gorgeous to keep for only Inkido projects - 

one must use them EVERYWHERE!!

Which brings me to this box I made a while back...

I used the beautiful Harmony flowers - I am ashamed

I couldn't help myself...they make for the most decadent embellishing!

In fact, one pack just wasn't enough!!  I even added some Tiffany Jewels!

Special Guest Designer - Helen Tilbury - 'Memories Together' {Mixed Media Layout}

Hello there everyone!  Surprise!!  I am so happy to announce that I will be having fun here with you & all these lovely Inkido products as "Special Guest Designer" for the next 5 months - until the end of 2013. Thank you so much to Papercrafts Scandinavia for extending this wonderful invitation to me & sending me a whole heap of gorgeousness to enjoy!  Woop Woop!!

Hello :)  My name is Helen Tilbury & I live in Durban, South Africa, together with my hubs, 4 kids & 3 furry kitties.  I've been scrapbooking for the last 10 years & it's saved me a lot of money on therapy!  Okay so it's not the cheapest hobby but I do love it & believe that the dozens of albums I have filled will be treasured for many years to come.  I have a day job so all my creating & design team duties are done in the evenings & over the weekends - fortunately I have a hubby that loves to cook & is very supportive of my artistic lifestyle!

Currently I am also designing for Scrap 365 Magazine in the UK, My Creative Scrapbook - the most awesome kit club in the USA!  Scrapmatts Chipboard & Flourish with a Bling {both Australian companies} I also recently started my own challenge blog, which I administrate & design for - Scrap Around The World.  Yup - all that does keep me rather busy!!  But I love the challenge & the online community - it is amazingly supportive & I have formed some fantastic friendships since I started my blog & got involved online 4 years ago.

My style is shabby grunge with lots of mixed media thrown in!  I hope you enjoy my projects & posts & I would love it if you would visit my blog too - Scrap Addict - where I share loads of tips & tricks, tutorials & details of my work process.  I have a You Tube channel too & have just got into technique videos so please subscribe if you are interested in learning some mixed media techniques - you can find that HERE. You can also keep up with me on my Facebook page HERE .  Thank you so much for having me ♥

I created this layout with the glorious new collection - Beautiful Memories - using the Blue Labels B side for my base (with the start) & the floral paper Blue Memories - Sage Blossom.



I used the lovely Butterfly 'Swallowtail' Nature stamp & embellished with some beautiful Inkido flowers from the Harmony Olive set  as well as the Tiffany Jewels in Blue.

I used a couple different varieties of white lace which I recoloured with gelatos 

- you can find the lace HERE and HERE.

I had a fantastic time working with the Inkido products!  Can you tell?!?
The beautifully shabby papers with their pale tones work perfectly
 with the mediums which only serve to enhance their beauy.

I had a lot of fun layering up many textural elements together with the soft Inkido designs.

  I used Ulrika's lovely sketch as a starting point for my design. 

{which is also our August challenge}. 

 Please support us by playing along - there are always
 fantastic prizes on offer & I would love to see you joining in!
