Webster's Pages, seriously, I'm so lucky to get to play with these GORGEOUS papers for the Jones Design Team. What better way to start the New Year !!! Using some paint just give it a quick stroke OR four !!    Sometimes you see one of the papers in the collection, that isn't going with your layout but the colour within it is perfect, so I used this to cut out my title Take a dye based spritzer and give it a little flickage to add "drops"   next, take a glue pen and add some glitter  to give a little depth, layer up a doily  Don't forget to glitter up the elements on the design, they've done all the hard work for you all you have to do emphasise it.  Add a few more die cut bits and you're done, you really don't have to do a lot as the papers do it for you !! Happy New Year everyone Hugs Marion xxx

My post for the Jones Design Team for November is rather late....Yes, I did say November, you see I had to wait for the fabulous Captued Moments Right Now Cards from Kaisercraft....but the wait was worth it....they're gorgeous and so versatile !!!! The thing I love about Kaisercraft is their packs are sold in 6" x 4" or 3" x 4", just fab if you run out of one size, you don't have to buy a mixed pack and can get just the size you need. Project Life or should I say Pocket Scrapbookng.....doesn't have to be flat and it doesn't have to take hours, you can knock up a layout in no time with a page protector, a few cards and a few embellies. The tip I want to give you in this one, is DONT worry if your photo is wider than the pocket, just look for a place to cut it and you can split it between pockets. All you have to do is take two cards and pop a bit of washi on the back to hold them together. Next, flip them over and adhere your photo on the cards...
