Memorial HDF

Hello everyone.

As soon as I saw the London Celebrates collection, I knew what I wanted to do.

A memorial HDF with my late friends from London.

 In the 1990s, I saw Leslie and Margaret at Wimbledon practically every year.

 I had a wonderful time with them, exploring such corners of London

 that I would never have discovered alone.

I found everything I needed in the London Celebrates collection, except for private photos with friends.

 Even the black cab, which I once rode from Victoria Coach Station for the one and only time.

 Remember those days when you used to go to London by coach? 

Because there were no cheap flights?

The collection is available here:

                                                       Digital version                  Paper version

Inside The Covers

  Good morning and a very happy Sunday. Over the past couple of weeks I've shared the box and the front and back covers of my London Celebrates album. Today it's the turn of the inside covers.

This is the back.

And this of course is the front.

The cover has two large pockets to keep your tags etc in. I've added one of the shabby heart flags from the cut-apart sheet.

I've made some journaling cards from a cut-apart sheet. I've stayed with the red, white, and blue theme. Some of these will be going into the pockets later.

There are some postcards on a cut-apart sheet, and I've also made some of my own from the papers. I just had to use these soldiers, and there was even some left over for a tag!

I've put some magnets inside the folded bookmark and this will now hold something in place anywhere you like.

The collection is available here in Sally's store in both digital and physical papers.

A London Celebrates Album

  Good morning and a very happy Sunday! It's Sue here and today I'm sharing an album that I've made with the London Celebrates collection, and luckily it fits (just) into the box that I showed last week.

I couldn't resist turning the front into a shaker, which is really easy to do as you can print each sheet as often as you like. I spent a lovely hour (not) sorting out my red, white, and blue sequins from a mixed tub lol.

I made my album using a tutorial by Paul of Papercrafting With Paul. This is the Let's Get Cosy album that he used as his G45 DT application.

 

It's a fab album with lots of spaces for photos.

The album measures 7'' x 6.25'' so just right for the A4 papers. There's a cut-apart sheet for the flowers, and the papers also make fab tags and postcards.

This is the back cover using one of my favourite sheets, a shabby Union Flag.

And this is how it looks with one of the postcards matted and layered up.

And this is how it looks in it's box. It's a really nice fit and it will keep it safe and sound.

You can find the collection here in Sally's store.

God Save The King

  Good morning and a very happy Sunday. It's Sue here and  I hope you are enjoying your bank holiday weekend (again). 

To celebrate the coronation of King Charles, Sally has designed the fabulous London Celebrates A4 collection, and here's one of my projects -  a recycled box to keep my (yet to be made lol) album in.

I started with a pre-made box that is from a beauty kit.

It measures just shy of 8'' x 6.5''.

When I make a box from scratch I construct it with tape as I can make the top quite a bit larger than the bottom. This means it can fit snugly, but not too tight, and the lid won't scuff the paper on the base. However, as I'm re-cycling a box there isn't enough room to do this, so I've painted all of the edges and corners so that it will look neat when the papers are added.

I've chosen some feature papers for the tops and bottoms, and some pretty florals for the sides. All the sides have been inked and I'm ready to start sticking!

The two most important pieces of equipment - a Teflon tool for burnishing, and a really good wet glue.

This is the inside of the lid.

For the box base sides I've used the same paper as the lid to tie it all together. I've also used a paper that isn't directional, so it's always the right way up lol.

And this is the bottom - don't the soldiers look fabulous!

I added one of the postcards to the lid, together with some layered-up flowers from a cut-apart sheet.

Here are the top and bottom together.

And a close-up of the postcard.

I love how the sides look with their matching papers. All it needs now is an album inside it - I really must make a start on that!

This beautiful collection can be found here in Sally's store in both digital downloads and physical papers and card.
