Hello Petaloo fans! The weather is so nice in Spring and it is a great time to do a little reading during free time. Therefore, I've decided to create some Spring inspired bookmarks which will come in handy during my reading. To create these bookmarks, I've used pattern papers by Graphic 45 and some beautiful Darjeeling flowers by Petaloo.
Here are some closer look of these bookmarks.
And here are some details on the gorgeous flowers used on these bookmarks.
Hope you all like these two simple bookmarks and see you all soon!

Hi everyone!! Lynne here, and today I have an address book for you. I actually had this book in my stash, and as soon as I pulled it out, I knew it would be perfect with Graphic 45's Off To The Races Collection.
This little binder is very old, but the colors are perfect with the papers, so I didn't want to cover the whole thing, instead, I opted to just layer my papers, chipboard pieces and flowers on top of the cover......more like an accent.
I diecut a few doilies to layer in between the papers. I also tucked in a few blooms among the papers, along with a bit of cheesecloth in and around the flowers. I distressed the edges of the papers, but didn't add any inking, I wanted the colors to stay pure.
I adore these Garden Rosettes.......so gorgeous!! and these colors are just perfect!!
I did make a few pages for the binder, thinking that I would turn it into a mini......but I decided to go ahead and use it as an address book instead. In the end, it looks much better, and is far more useable for what I want. I will probably turn the rest of the pages into tags and/or cards.
I hope that you enjoyed my address redo, and that you will be inspired to remake, and revamp some of the items you've been hoarding in your stash!!

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here. Today, I'm going to share with you all a simple Mother's Day card which I've created using some gorgeous Darjeeling flowers by Petaloo. I've used papers by Graphic 45 for this card.
I've chosen the green and pink theme to create this card for a feminine look. The vintage image in this collection is perfect for this card.
I've created a dimensional cluster of flowers using a combination of cream and pink blossoms.
Hope you all like this card and Happy Mother's Day to all mothers around the world.

Hello, Friends! It's Kathy here wishing all the moms out there an (upcoming) very Happy Mother's Day! I've been thinking about my mom a lot this past week. She was an amazing woman, raising 5 children on a shoestring budget. She always had a song in her heart, and worked from before dawn until after dusk: baking homemade bread, canning fresh fruit and produce from our garden, sewing and mending, cleaning and doing laundry. I don't think I ever saw her sit down. It was her love, humor and magic touch that made our house a home. I learned so much from her, and we shared so many good times together that I cannot be sad on Mother's Day, even though she is no longer with us. Instead, I celebrate her incredible legacy. It was with her in mind that I created this altered frame using Graphic 45's Home Sweet Home paper collection.
This all started with a 99 cent frame that I picked up at our local thrift shop. (Mom would approve...she loved a bargain.) It was in good shape, but made with really ugly wood. I sanded, painted, stained and distressed it until I was finally satisfied with this rustic version. Then the real fun began: adding images and glorious Petaloo flowers!
The frame measures just under 8" square and has nice deep openings that made it ideal for a 3-D project like this one. I used scrap paper to create templates so my images would be sure to fit and line up inside the individual frames. I hate to waste designer paper! I chose Petaloo flowers in red, gold, blue and white to match the wonderful vintage hues in my papers. The lace trim is from the White Fancy Trims Pack, and I love the gorgeous texture and vintage feel it adds to the frame.
This sweet couple looks pretty happy working away in the kitchen. Hubby is making coffee, and Mother is making jam. I fussy cut the hollyhocks from the paper collection and glued them down with Studio Matte Multi Medium. Then I layered on Red Velvet Lilacs, Royal Blue Sugared Blooms, Sugared Berry Clusters, Royal Blue Sugared Minis, Ivory Burlap Blossoms and Yellow Mini Mixed Blooms. My mom loved hollyhocks, and her flower garden was the prettiest one in the neighborhood. I don't know how she found the time to coax such beautiful blossoms from our clay soil, but she did. So this bouquet is for you, Mom!
To balance the design, I added a smaller cluster of the same flowers in the upper left hand corner of the frame. Oh, how I love these pretty posies! And, it looks like Mom baked a pie today...there it is cooling on the windowsill.
I found this vintage spoon in a flea market and knew I had to have it! I've been saving it for just the right project. I love the touch of elegance it adds to my Home Sweet Home sign.
Do you see the cute little nest with eggs in it? I wrapped burlap string around my finger and then hot glued it in place. I speckled the eggs with Copper and Blue mists from my stash. Such a fun little way to draw attention to those cute chicks.
I'll close this post with one of my favorite quotes from Pearl S. Buck:
"Some are kissing mothers,
and some are scolding mothers,
but it is love all the same,
and most mothers
kiss and scold together."
So whether you are a kissing mother, or a scolding mother, this mother (who was of the kissing and scolding together variety) wishes you a very Happy and Love Filled Mother's Day!
Thanks for stopping by!
Cheerio,
kathy

Hello, Friends! Don't you just love springtime? One of my favorite things about this lovely season is the return of all the little songbirds. Birds will build a nest in the oddest spots. Last year, a pair of bluebirds built their nest in our neighbor's mailbox, and all anxiously anticipated the arrival of those baby birds. Thinking about this inspired me to make this Love Warms Every Nest Springtime Vignette for Petaloo International.
I've been saving this little metal wagon for just the right project. After treating it with Prima Rust Paste, it was filled with a bed of Spanish Moss. Then I added this cute little bird nest. Next I painted some miniature eggs with Distress Oxide Ink and added them to the nest. Then I had the best time creating a garden full of pretty Petaloo flowers in shades of purple, green and white.
Earlier this year, I happened across a fabulous clearance sale at Michael's where I found this chunky 4" x 4" canvas which was perfect for the base of my vignette. I covered it with a green floral print from Graphic 45's Place in Time Deluxe Collector's Edition. Then I wrapped it with these lovely bird feathers.
Next, the top was covered with more Spanish Moss and more pretty flowers and butterflies.
The chipboard tag is attached to a mini chalkboard that is in turn attached to a clothespin. This way, I can just clip the tag onto the side of the wagon and it stands all on its own. The tag is from Graphic 45's A Place in Time Deluxe Collector's Edition.
Making this sweet little vignette was almost as much fun as planting real flowers. I hope it brought some sunshine into your life, too. You can find a supply list at the end of this post. Thanks for stopping by!
