Here comes the Bride

Summertime

Happy Thursday,

I would love to share my card I created using Pion Design Paper (I think it is Shoreline Treasures). I used the paper to create the majority of my design. I used die cuts from Magnolia and Fantasy. I added frantage, a floral arrangement, cheese cloth and a metal seahorse charm.

I thought the little boy at the ocean peeking through the window was adorable. Let me know what you think.

I am entering my card in the following challenge:
Crafteezee's challenge- June, Summer

Made with Love

Hello again,

Here is a cute box I made using Scent of Lavendar and Where Roses Grow by Pion Design.  My second project for the Crafteezee DT Call.

To embellish my project I used gorgeous lace, Cheery Lynn butterfly and small flourish dies, flowers, scissors charm, pieces of the paper and tulle to create the ribbon.

I am back! I am so excited to be back crafting and using all my marvelous supplies. The other day I was moving things around and I came across my supplies. I realized at that moment how much I missed being creative.

Then the next day I saw Crafteezee was having a design call. How exciting!!!! I decided to apply.

Here is my first project in about a year. I created a canvas us The Songbird's Secret by Pion Design. The sides of the canvas were painted with Alchemy acrylic paint Spark Mermaid Sparkle. To decorate my canvas I chose this stunning lace, flowers and butterfly from Crafteezee store. The metal leaves, frame and bling are from Prima. To add interest to the photo inside the frame I added Frantage.

Thanks for stopping by!

You're My Cup of Tea

Happy Wednesday,

We are so excited this is our first challenge for 7 Kids College Fund as new owners. We have a fabulous design team so be sure to check out their creations.

Today I have created a fall card using paper from Prima Rossi Belle A4 Collection Kit and Rossi Belle Aubrey flowers. The center photo is from Joy Crafts Paper Bloc in Autumn Pictures ( I just love these images). For the leaves in my flower arrangement I chose a Sue Wilson die from the Festive Collection Filagree Poinsettia. This die is so versatile you can use it all year round for your creations. To embellish this sweet card I chose frontage, misc flowers, lace trim, and various die cuts.

So head on over and enter your cards or projects for a chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate.

See you there!

Sweet Princess

Happy Wednesday!

Today I would like to share a canvas I made using paper from the Prima collection Rossi Belle A4 . I used an image from Pion design paper. I used a wooden canvas. First, I used heavy white gesso to cover the background then around the front edges I use alchemy paint rose gold. I chose a die cut from the Joy Crafts Cutting & Embossing Open Heart and Butterfly.  To embellish my canvas I used the following: Rossi Belle Ephemera Cardstock Die Cuts, Rossi Belle Genevieve Glittered Leaf Stems, Rossi Belle Thistle Flowers, Rossi Bell Aubree Flowers, pearl embellishments, heart doily frantage, and bow.

I have linked the items you can purchase in the 7 Kids College Fund Store. Thanks for stopping by!

Anything Goes

Happy Wednesday!

Anything Goes

Can you believe August is almost over? My sweet baby left last Friday for the Dominican Republic for about 4 months and then off to Panama. My house is too quiet. I miss seeing his precious face every morning.

Happy Tuesday,

I haven't posted in quite some time. I have been spending most of my time with my grandson and his parents. They will be moving to the Dominican Republic for 4 months then onto Panama. I will miss them terribly. Thank goodness for technology. God has new plans for them as they begin their new life as missionaries.

Today I have created a shadow box using Scrapiniec Park Avenue Shadow Box from Noor Design. I chose Tilda on the beach. Most of the goodies I used for my design were in my July Crafteezee collection.
