How is this beautiful entry by Kerry Smith using the Burlesque Beauties Kit?

Sassy, beautiful and bright - and look at the wonderful way Kerry has used the lace - fantastic

Here is what Kerry has to say:
I am attaching a photo of the layout I have scrapped with the beautiful burlesque kit. One of my daughters is a professional dancer who travels the world and very rarely in Australia, she is at the moment in Brazil. This photo was taken in Manneheim Germany about a year ago.

Thanks Kerry and good luck with your wonderful entry

The second is of my best friend Amie. I used the little lacy doiley and the bottom right hand corner of the photo was a little sticker which was on one of the plastic bags in the parcel i received from you. not sure if this was an 'official' tattered inspirations item but i thought it was just perfect for this page!!

Everything is official Tattered Inspirations Kate - whether inside r outside the package (Smile)

Patchwork Crazy

I have gone a bit crazy with the Patchwork range and I scrapped using it yesterday and completed a couple of layouts.... so I thought I would show you how I used the kit and the flowers.

The range now includes:

• Patchwork Vintage Scrap Kit
• Patchwork Blooms (set of 5 blooms) with bunting and vintage pink ribbon and two ranges
• Patchwork Blooms (set of 3 blooms) and two ranges
• Patchwork Hat Pins (set of 5 pins)

So here are my layouts

Early Morning Cuppa
Using the Vintage Patchwork Kit
Plus a Prima Vine, Prima paper, Prima and AC alphas and a couple of paper doileys and some vintage seam binding also available in my shop

Using the ruffle - you can cut this like I did and it won't come undone
It is sewn through to a piece of fabric to secure
Gotta love that flower cabochon - it is in the kit!

The flowers, buttons and hat pins (I added an extra bloom - they are available in packs of 3 or 5 too)

The cute little charms - these are sooooo sweet and the fabric labels

Patchwork Blooms and Bunting Pack

This is such a cute pack and great value with its 5 blooms, bunting and 1 metre of gorgeous vintage ribbon...

Old and New Layout
Using the Patchwork 5 blooms kit with bunting
Daisy D's paper

Extras - organza lilies, lace motif, Prima flowers, Prima butterflies, hat pins, chipboard coat rack, vintage seam binding, assorted flowers, cameo, buttons etc
I added little things to the bunting - pretty cute I thought

I don't use a lot of chipboard but this seems to go nicely!

I had a lovely play with this kit - so easy to use and really sweet for so many layouts... I also played with Strawberry Fields and Man About Town - I will load these over the next few days.....

Hope you have fun with this gorgeous Patchwork Range.... and don't forget to show me your layouts for the February competition.... there are prizes too - see the newsletter (smile)

Cheers
