My scrapbook layouts always combine a variety of materials, I love mixing papers, fabrics and felt, ribbons, trims and embellishments! I love bright, bold and kitchy colors, yet I love grungy and worn tones as well. The layout above is a result of my love for vintage, kitchy and handmade!

The Matryoshka parts are currently available in my Etsy and Artfire Stores on line and at my storefront: Piddlestixs!




The papers will be available soon!

Matryoshka Invasion!


I have loved Matryoshka's aka Russian nesting Dolls since I was a little girl, I own about 10 sets of them, my mom or Grandma would pick one up for me at thrift stores or when they saw them in their travels!

For the past 4 years I have seen a soar in people getting back to collecting them and creating them, thus driving up the cost of the originals and making them that more special! I love the handmade versions and all the whimsical and kitchy Kawaii/Sweet colors.

The new color scheme I am loving to create with is cherry red, periwinkle, and white! I just finished dying and painting a dozen vintage bottle brush wreaths in fun blue, pink, purple and red colors over the weekend. After much thought on what to decorate them, I choose using my new Matryoshka dolls and vintage/kitchy millinery and supplies!

Here are the results:
The first one is Pollyanna's Fairytale!


Meet:

Pollyanna and she loves fairy tales!

This new piece is made from a hand dyed, vintage bottle brush wreath I created, then embellished with vintage kitchy pieces, vintage beading, millinery, berries, my own scrapbook paper and my handmade Matryoshka Dolls, glitter, paints and more.
