Paisley and buttons

There are two things I love in this world ( amongst other things of course) and those are paisley and polka dots.

Warren my partner from our stationery line TJOMIES hand doodles these paisley backgrounds.. dont you just love em?  

 

I think they are bloody fantastic myself.. they are available in a few colors.. 

  

We have made some wonderful scrapbooking embellishments using the paisley that we are going to launch at the Chantilly Scrapbooking Show next month.

 

 

We have paired the paper flowers with vintage mother of pearl and celluloid buttons

 

 

What I love from this collection too are our gift tags - 

 

With the amazing vintage button collection we have been able to match up all shades of our paisley prints with fantastic carved buttons making them all that more special.. so this is what the tag is going to look like -

The front..

 

The back...

For all of you that are in the area the scrapbooking show will be end of June in Chantilly.. for all of you that are a long way away all the things you see on this blog will be available on TJOMIES website by the end of the month as well as ACCESSORIES OF OLD website.

Thanks to Martha Stewart

Thanks to Martha Stewart and her craft team everyone can finally see step by step how to make the perfect bow on any gift. Seriously, its one of those small things in life that bow makers take for granted  - not everyone can perfect the bow.!!!

I decided to put her steps on my blog because you cant go wrong following these... check it out!

It really is amazing what a good wrapping and bow can do for a gift ( sometimes its better than the actual gift !!)
