Our new Card accessories

Posted on May 12, 2013 by Manor House Creations

So our new collection is OUT! YAY! And we love some of our new accessories and hope you will too. These were born from idea that the owner of MHC had for embellishments that she couldn’t buy on the market…So she decided to make them and share them with the world. Take a look…

Our designers have had the new release for a little while now, so have been busily working their magic.

Trudi has created an elegant layout, using one of our brand new flower vines, in white, and teamed that with some of our gorgeous new ‘Sweetie‘ flowers in yellow. You are going to love these, not only are they gorgeous on layouts, but the smaller size, makes them just perfect for all the card makers out there. The pretty brown ‘Lazy dayz’ flower is the perfect finishing touch to Trudi’s layout.

Altered money box

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Manor House Creations

Just when you thought you’d seen everything, along comes the ever-talented Joanne Bain with an altered glass money box…..and isn’t it stunning!

!cid_A313F9F0-A82F-44E8-95FC-9FBA8ADFD1F7

Here’s what Jo said about this inspired creation:

I picked this up at a homewares closing down sale. I loved the big frog on the side and decided to alter it and make it even more beautiful.  I scraped away some of the silver glitter on the capri roses and painted with gesso to make them more of a whitish silver. I pulled some of the layers away from the petite roses to make some of them a little smaller and also added a splash of Shimmerz to the tips.  Hope you like.

Welcome BECK BEATTIE!

Posted on April 15, 2013 by Manor House Creations

We are thrilled to announce, that due to our lovely Erin Blegen having to leave our MHC DT due to family commitments, we needed some new and fresh talent to come on board…AND…we’ve found her!

 Beck 2012 400

 Please welcome Beck Beattie to our Design team! We are so so happy to have her and wait till you see the creations she’s working on…here’s a taste and a little about Beck so you can get to know her.

* * *

Although my name is Rebecca most know me simply as Beck. I am married to a wonderful husband that is very supportive of my craft and we have two beautiful boys aged 2 and 3.5 years old that keep me on my toes.

My scrapbooking love includes layouts to off the page projects, and cards as well.   At the moment though, I would say that I am really enjoying creating layouts and the stories behind them.  Having boys after developing quite a feminine style really challenged my style, and it is something I thoroughly love.  Whilst I still have a bit of a vintage and sometimes Shabby Chic style (whenever there is a female in the photo), I also have quite a detailed and slightly grungy style mainly tailored to my male layouts.  I just LOVE to add layer upon layer and add in many different elements into my projects and having the pleasure of working with different products which makes this all the more achievable.  I enjoy the challenge of trying different styles and techniques, whilst always tailoring a layout to suit the subject or photo I am Scrapbooking.

I have been fortunate to work on a number of different design teams as well as behind the scenes with some of the leading brands as well.  My biggest achievement would have to be being named Scrapbooking Memories Master this year along with 9 other very talented ladies.  It has always been so wonderful to meet new people as well, and this has definitely opened the doors to many great friendships all over Australia and the world.  I now couldn’t imagine my life without this craft in it.

I am really looking forward to this time on the Manor House Creations Design team and working alongside so many talented artists!
