Cherish The Memory, Lemoncraft, 3 Panel Card

It's certainly cold outside today!

The poor birds in my garden have been pecking away at bird baths that are freezing over far too quickly.

But I do go out and add hot water several times a day to help them out as best I can!

In an effort to ignore the cold I've made a Spring/Summer themed 3 panel card, adding touches of ink and paint splatters for a pretty mixed media look.

I'm hoping for a very short Winter.

How about you?

Cherish The Memory, Framed Ephemera, Garden Theme...

If you stumbled across my last post for Cherish The Memory you will know that I made a Wrapped Journal with a difference as the pages were made from passport protector covers.

Why?

 To help store all of the ephemera that I have in mind for future projects.

As a continuation of that theme (I'm using the same style ephemera, but I've mixed it up a bit with nuts and bolts, etc from another collection) I've created a piece of wall art that I hope captures a sense of 

'being in a garden/a beautiful outdoor space'.

Take a look...

Rather than use foam pads, I alter depth and perception on my projects by simply layering up glued die cuts...

...  And if it's a piece of ephemera I want to layer up?

 I cut scraps of card and glue those to the back instead.

I hope I've inspired you to get out your stash today!

Cherish The Memory, Wrapped Journal, Ephemera...

Cherish The Memory sells some of the prettiest ephemera and background papers - just take a look for yourself and you'll soon see what I mean.

And sometimes it's nice to get lots of those pretty papers and ephemera and little accent pieces and just layer them all up into a beautiful montage...

But I'm not doing that today! 

Instead, I'm sharing an idea with you that doesn't use a lot, but it does show that with just a few carefully chosen pieces combined with dies from your stash you can make something truly special - whether it's a gift for yourself or for someone else...

Not only is this beautiful (I made it for me so I admit I am truly biased) - it's practical, too.

This is where I will store my bits and pieces so that they don't get lost or torn.
(FYI - The pages are made from passport protector covers)!
