Nana's Armoire - Lace Monograms

Being the incurable romantic, nothing sets my heart aflutter more than finding delicate pieces of heirloom lace. It holds in its weave and pattern the romance and dreams of distant generations. Lace handkerchiefs are always a special find and this piece of lace still takes my breath away.

To this square of gossamer, heirloom lace, I added a curvy vintage font and enhanced it an rich embroidered texture. This pack contains the entire alphabet A-Z in capital letters. These are perfect page accents for your wedding, birth and heritage pages. I have included a closeup picture so that you can see the lovely detail of the lace and letters.

Scanned at extremely high resolution and crafted at 300dpi, these monograms will size perfectly for all your layouts and craft projects. A drop shadow has been added to the preview image for display purposes. The lace looks best when given a slight shadow and placed on medium to dark backgrounds.

Nana's Armoire

As a young girl, my grandmother's linen armoire was a source of magical adventure for me.

Shelf upon shelf bursting beneath the weight of fabric, lace and trinkets. There were swaths of heavy French linen, delicate almost gossamer pieces of German and Belgium lace and small tins filled with buttons so beautiful they were more like jewelry. Whenever I stayed with her, I would always find my way to the cupboard and spend hours wrapping myself in the marvelous fabrics and trims.

Such is the inspiration for this new collection, Nana's Armoire.

Aged fabrics and textures in shades of taupe and cream, mother of pearl, silver and gold. I believe these papers and embellishments will add just the right touch of heirloom magic for your layouts, cards and paper crafts.

Available in both personal use and S4H/S4O licensing, this lovely kit can be purchased here on this blog - or through my store at www.purplepaperflowers.com

Framing Your Ancestors

One of the first memories I have of my grandmother's family are the photographs that lined the bookshelf in her home. Formed of heavy, decorated cardstock, soft leather and textured linen blends, these frames held the faces that have captivated me all of my life.

This collection of frames are perfect for your heritage layouts. There are 6 paper and fabric frames - two of which coordinate perfectly with papers from my Vintage Paper Pack. Additionally, I have included 2 metal accent frames. You can use these to frame your journaling or as a name plate.

I hope you like these as much as I do!

Here is a layout I created today using this collection, plus pieces from my Vintage kit and Victorian Valentine Paper Packs:

Valentine's Inspiration

I just love vintage valentines. They are romantic, inspiring and carry such great energy from the past. Each one tells a story and I wish I could hear them all first hand.

Inspired by the colours in recent find at a vintage store, I have started a new collection entitled, Victorian Valentine.

Designed around the theme of Passion, Romance and Devotion, the papers are ornate, richly romantic and sure to provide you a base for a wonderful collection of scrap pages, romantic cards and collage art.

The paper packs are done - still working on the embellishments. I imagine this collection will be quite extensive as I get so lost in the design work on this one.

A French Affair

For those who know me, they know I adore Paris. Just the idea of Paris sends my heart aflutter. It is not surprising that my Muse often presents an idea with Parisian flare. So it is with the new collection, A French Affair.
While in Paris not so long ago, I came across a wonderful shoppe not far from the Eiffel Tower. Tiny and tucked away, it holds one of the exquisite collections of linen I have ever seen.

Each piece tied with a shimmery ivory silk bow, from which hung a black oval tag. The presentation is unforgettable.

Inspired by that small shoppe in the heart of Paris, I have created "A French Affair".

Warm neutrals form the base for this romantic collection of 6 prints and stripes, accompanied by 2 beautiful laser cut papers and a 2 pieces of coordinating card stock - a total of 10 Parisian pretties for your next project.
