Helga Hippo #Polkadoodles

I've been given the Helga Hippo collection to play with from #Polkadoodles. It has the cutest little hippo all dressed in an array of clothes, doing different activities. It's another hand drawn and painted collection from Nikky Hall at Polkadoodles, who is back on TV selling her wonderful products at Hochanda. I have lots of beautiful flower embellishments, papers, ephemera etc, which makes the collection great use for scrapping, mixed media and card making. I've made scrap pages so far, here's a look at what I've done x

Second wall art piece.

I've made another wall art piece this time with Lauren's Florals and Kraft. This one is to fit into a deep frame I already have, but is waiting to get painted. I've made my own Ephemera with the kit and fonts. I've also added some die cuts, gems, sequins, a bit of foiling, some metalic wax and some stamping and embossing. This is the result, I hope you like it x

Freebie mini kit at Michelles Crafty Pixies Facebook group

There was another freebie mini kit on Michelles Crafty Pixies yesterday. This time it was a back to school kit called School Days. I've made 3 pages with it so far and I've got lots more Grandchildren to scrap!

Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles #Polkadoodles

At the moment I'm scrapping my families holiday snaps, I'm making pages with Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles #Polkadoodles. It has some beautiful papers, a myriad of wonderful embellishments and the most fantastic little boy and girl characters doing all kinds of Summer adventures. It would make great birthday cards too. The whole collection can be purchased all together or in parts. I had to have the lot and am finding I am looking for photographs to go with the characters rather than the other way around!

Wall art Belle Papillon Polkadoodles

Yesterday I decided I needed something new for my bedroom wall and decided to make a canvas. Well to cut a long story short I couldn't find a one, they must be in my safe place, so I made a one out of Kraft card and this is the result,it's basically a box made with A4 card top and bottom about 1 inch thick.  I've used the fabulous Belle Papillon, and decorated it with copper embossing powder, foil,lace,ribbon, glitter and gem stones.I'm quite pleased with it. I've added the  lady who I've cut from a Vintage photograph.

Gothic Art doll template

I wanted to make an Art doll with Gothic Fairytale by Lauren C.Waterworth as there were several female heads in this kit and some beautiful matching papers. So I made my template and off I went and this is the result. I'm very pleased with her. She is decorated with a brown foil and translucent glitter, which is hard to see in the photo. Her joints are joined with small brads, I have a template which has more jointed limbs (elbows and knees) which I'll add at a later date. I've hung her up with a ribbon. but I do intend to add her to a photo frame. The template is available as a PDF by download, I'll add the link to the bottom of the post.
