Old Wisteria Heritage Album Papers

Well I have finally completed these matching pages! You will need to click on these images to enlarge to see the textural detail [which unfortunately adds to their file size]....or a snippet HERE

The two pages when placed side by side either way will actually "flow" as their backgrounds are actually large seamless tiles.

In the download zip, I've included a pretty frame and a block for your text ...both in .png format and also a bonus ribbon.

The pages can easily be recoloured to suit your project.:) [Sepia looks good]

You can download your zip HERE

Don't forget, I'd love to have a link to any layouts that you do using my kits!

There are now 5 pages of downloadable material in my Portfolio on Sharecg :)

Post Script: Chris has used my papers to illustrate a family wedding...thanks for the link Chris!

An Autumn / Spring Desktop Wallpaper

I've used a rather strange old Victorian Botanical print - [artist unknown but dated about 1890] for my new desktop wallpaper. With it's mixture of Autumn foliage and Spring flowering Wisteria , it brings together the opposing seasons of north and south.

The rather textured background was developed from a photograph of wisteria taken by fellow TOC member, Joan in her garden. Thank you Joan!

[Click on the image above to see more detail.]

My own garden has certainly realised it is spring...already colourful after the winter and weeds taking off :) You can download a zip with 3 different sized images 1440 X 900, 1280 X 960 and 1024 X 768, HERE

I have also made a matching e-card for our GALLERY.

Blue Plaid Ribbon Scrapbook Extras

A couple of extra bits here to match my previous daisy papers etc :)

The zip contains both the bow as a separate .png and the ribbon and bow combination which is wide enough to go right across your 12 inch album page...both at 300 dpi.

Zip to download is HERE.

I always like to hear if you find my bits and pieces useful and any links to your creations are welcome :)

I've actually used the bow and one of my papers in a card which you can see and download from our gallery now.

Chris has also recoloured and used the ribbon and bow in her lovely new autumn desktop wallpaper.

A September Autumn Daisy Desktop Wallpaper

A Desktop for Spring

The weather has warmed here at last and surely Spring is just around the corner.

I loved the fresh look of this painting by the Swedish painter Carl Larsson [1853-1919] and it brings back memories of "yabbying" in our property dam, although I can't remember being quite so well dressed :)

You can see more detail HERE.

I have used as a background a paper from my daisies kit, recoloured to suit.The flower elements also come from the kit.
