GD Sharm

GD Sharm and her 3 lovely projects

Hi!
It's Bellaidea today with a special Guest from sunny ...Malaysia

Hi there! I’m Sharm from the very sunny Malaysia.. I started papercrafting end 2009, after I had my first lil princess. It started off as a bid to keep myself occupied while being a SAHM. I love all things handmade & indulge in a variety of handmade hobbies that include card making, scrapping and jewelry making, but paper crafting is my first love! (after my hubby that is *lol*). I’m a versatile crafter and adore adding fussy cuts, lots of layering and flowers to the projects I work on.

I love vintage (..truly, madly, deeply..) and my style often ranges from vintage to shabby chic to sometimes clean and simple. I have also been published in Cards Magazine, Create : Mini Albums and Create : for the Home magazines Thank you for taking a peek at my projects! :)

 Sharm made for us 3 projects, LO, card and OTP, we love all 3!

A day with Tomoko !

Hi! We have a sweet girl from Japan today!


Hi, my name is Tomoko Takahashi and I live in Osaka, Japan. I am blessed with a 5 year old daughter.
I started scrapbook in Mar. 2009 and I've loved it ever since. I love to use gentle colored paints and mists on my pages to create soft and feminine styles but I also love to use bold and vintage style every now and then. My inspiration comes from beautiful products and lovely pictures of my precious daughter. My style has been ever changing and I've been adventurous through my scrapbook life. But every page is a memory I treasure and would like to continue to be creative throughout my life.
Thank you so much for inviting me!!

For today Tomoko made this lovely album for us but...she is working on new projects :)
Thank you so much Tomoko!
I hope you all know by now you can buy Inkido products in Japan?

'Sweet Summer'

Hi, it's me Bente, back with a page I made for the recent blog hop at PaperHaus Magazine.
It is also an example of what you can make to enter Sabrinas September challenge.
It is to use layers and at least one punch. You'll find the link at the top right hand side of the blog.

I decided to share a couple of pictures, kind of a step-by-step on how I made this lo.

I started out with this pretty but rather beige sheet of paper:

I used some inks and mediums to make a more personalized background for my sweet photos.

I have added text to the photo so you can see what I have used in the different areas.

It may be a little difficult to see the stamped corners as they are very subtle and 

stamped with Ranger distress ink.

As I knew the central part of the sheet would be covered up I concentrated my inking, stamping

 etc to the sides of my page.

 After I was satisfied the background was ok I layed out my photos and design pieces to 

see what I liked the most.

I tried a couple of alternatives but this is what I decided to stay with.

Now all that is left is the fun stuff; embellishing!!

And here are a few close ups of my decorations etc.

I hope you like my page and that you will link up to our September challenge!
Hugs!!

Altered Coasters by Emeline

Hello ! Hope your day started well. In today's post, I'll be sharing a couple of altered coasters. These coasters were covered and embellished with motifs from Inkido's pattern papers.

Special Guest Designer - Helen Tilbury - '20 & 21' Mixed Media Layout

Hello again everyone :)  It's HELEN here - back again this

 month with another project especially prepared  for Inkido!

I decided this month to see how much
 colourful fun I could have with Inkido
 products & am quite happy with the outcome :)

As well as Inkido papers I used the butterfly stamp & flowers

 from Inkido too. The papers I have used are Sage Flowers, 

Sage Memories,{both sides of each} plus "Is this Love?"{Hope}.

I distressed all the papers then inked them with dark brown ink

& bent, tore, scrunched & stapled them.  Inkido papers are just 

perfect for this kind of treatment as they are vintage-looking

 & strong so can withstand mists & water treatments too.

I used two Pink Fashion Flowers & added some touches of black
 in the way of bling,feathers & netting to enhance the dramatic photos used.

I tied the colours together through the use of mists in black,

 pink, brown & yellow by spraying & splattering.

I added some old book paper for a romantic touch.  The photos

 I used are very 'young & funky' which one may not automatically

 imagine using with Inkido papers but I suggest you try it! 

 Adding touches of black through Inkido stamps really helps

 make them work with the softer papers, they just 'pop!'

 Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you enjoyed my page :)

Children in focus - by DT Zanka

Hello friends!
DT Zanka here, sharing today 2 Inkido projects where children truly are in focus :)
The first project is a layout which I prepared earlier this week, following the colour palette and a sketch from The Color Room (palete # 159)

Because I went for the dark background, I decided to lighten it up, adding some stencil and stamping. For stamping I used white dabber and Map of Sweden - yes!!! A tiny, unusual stamp that makes this beautiful crackle pattern ;)
The beautiful big rose is my fave and I use it over and over again. This is a piece from a collage stamp. I have couple of them always ready, stamped and cut out, just waiting to stick here and there :)
I also love the flower images in Beige Flowers paper, they are perfect for fussy cut and a great 'filler' in any flower cluster.

The second project goes towards light and angelic - it's a card for the baptise ceremony.
Here I used the papers from Beautiful Memories, both the 1st and the 2nd collection.

Thank you for stopping by today!
I will be back in October and present Inkido's October challenge! It's gonna be fun, stay tuned :)

Good Morning!
Today I have an old page for you, well, old because I started it months ago but I never had a chance to finish before Summer. I aslo had a problem with matching a photo for it.
Looks like the one from vacation looks good with it?

Again, I mixed old and new collections from Inkido, did some fussy cutting, stamping and misting.

Stitching too;)

Regards
have a great day!
Agnieszka
