The PLANNER SOCIETY - SEPTEMBER'S PLANNER KIT

I C A N N O T Wait to dive into this pile of paper beauties!



So you see, my relationship with Scarlet Lime started way back in 2009 when I was in Christy's (owner of Scarlet Lime's) design team. Totally floored *again* was I was given the opportunity to guest design using one of September's Planner Kit! Follow The Planner Society's Instagram and you'll know WHAT's the hype about!

Awesome Planner-Essentials.
ALL of it! The myriad of embellishments is bursting with brilliant colors! My current favourite palette (anything with G R E E N has to be called my favourite, at the moment!) This kit is designed to work with ANY & ALL styles and sizes of planners including A5, Personal, Pocket and even Midoris!



Ranging from exclusive die-cuts, pattern papers, notepads, sticky notes, unique paperclips, planner stickers and more! I just adore EXCLUSIVE items in my kits. Just makes it really special.



The Shocking-Pink little card holder that came along in the Kit is super useful! I kept all my remaining sticker sheets in them. Tucked neatly and accessible.



Here's THE planner which I loved so much at the moment. It's Fabric, A6 in size and the GREEN is "THE" kind of green I absolutely adore at the moment. Great match with The Planner Society's September contents!



These cute bows were calling to make them Functional AND Pretty! I went on to stack them, layer them onto wooden cloths pegs and embellished further with die cuts. PERFECT for clip-ons for my planner.



Go on, take a look at what's in store at SCARLET LIME's. You'll be in for a paper-treat!

My RUFFLE Addiction - Double Ruffle Tutorial

is still going strong :)





---------------------------------------------------------------------------
here's the tutorial i did for Scarlet Lime a few weeks back.
A Ribbon Garland.
(i am too lazy to post my tuts most of the time, but here you go... just because this could be my current fave - a slight twist to my usual ruffling).


Supplies
Jenni Bowlin crepe pink paper pack (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
Pink Paislee Bayberry Cottage Pleats (Scarlet Lime Main/Frugal kit)
Lily Bee Audrey Tulle Flowers (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
American Craft Lively Dear Lizzy Ribbon (Scarlet Lime Frugal kit)
24 inch piece of wide ribbon (about 1" wide)

Crepe Flower Instructions

Step 1: Remove crepe paper from pack. Each pink stream measures 2 yards.
Cut a 2.5" diameter circle from cardboard. This will be the base.




Step 2: Fold the stream into half and halve them again. You should get 4 stripes each measuring 20 inches.




Step 3: Use running stitch along the entire length. Ruffles will be formed. Tie a knot at the end. Fluff the layers of ruffles along the edge by gently pulling the crepe paper away from each other.




Step 4: Encircle the cardboard circle with the ruffled crepe. Use hot glue for a permanent bond.




Step 5: Attach a smaller flower at the centre.

There you go , a scallop double layered ruffle flower.

I love how my gems and blingblings found a new home on this hanging wreath.

SCARLET LIME and other happenings...

here are my contributions using Scarlet Lime's May Kit...
i'm missing some glimmer chips that comes with the kit.




here's one layout which i've wanted to do, to remind my growing girl.
The world out there is brutal. somethings are really beyond your control.
Sometimes she will be wronged, spoken ill of, be taken advantage of just because she's nice.. but i'm sorry door-mats we are not. A reminder to her to have the right attitude in handling issues in the big bad world...





and another ... just a few more weeks before she needs TWO hands to count her age...







and finally,

Made With Love is opening three spots as Guest Designers with the store...
