Frosted Designs Challenge - Stitching and Flowers

 

 Hello out there in the crafting world.

I have a layout to share with you. I've use my Frosted Designs Enchanted Kit! So many goodies in there! :) This is my youngest daughter Katie's 1st grade school photo. She will be in second grade this year.. wow! Still can't believe it. Isn't she super cute!

 

I used the Kaiser Kraft Butterfly stamps and embossed some of them onto the gorgeous Bo Bunny Paper. I then, tore a few pieces of the paper and layered them onto each other. The cheese cloth in the back ground gives it a sewn on effect. I really LOVE the way this came out. Of course I added lots and lots of flowers too!

 

I hope you will be able to join us for our Flowers and Stitching challenge at Frosted Designs!

A Summer Wish.

Hello there my lovely blogger friends!

I have a card to share with you all today. I absolutely ADORE this card. This gorgeous little fairy is from Lili of the Valley, as if you didn't already know. This stamp is called 'Time Flies'. Boy, it sure does! I painted her with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks. and for the flower I used my white acrylic paint and speckled it everywhere. It really looks like she's blowing the flower and making a wish. I'm so pleased with the outcome of this card!

 

The papers are Pion Designs and most of the flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts, there are a few from Live, Love Crafts. The banner die is from Whiff of Joy, and the die that the image is cut out on is from Little Darlings, Oh, and the butterfly doily dies are from Magnolia. The little wooden pieces are from Studio Calico.

 

I hope you like my card as much as I do.

Have a great day! I know I will, although today is Monday, it's my Friday! :)

For some reason I wanna yell Yabba Dabba Doooooooo!!!!!

Hello Dear Friend.

Well, hello again.

 

Here's a card I made using a C.C. Designs Stamp. These are so much fun to color. I cannot wait to color another one. These stamps are very Copic friendly, especially if you are just starting out with Copics. Since this wasn't for a class I was able to load up on the embellishments. Don't you just love a good ole 5 pound card. :o)

 

Have a great day!

 



Happy 10th Birthday Lili of the Valley!!!!

Dream Away!

Hi there everyone.

 

I made this card the other day and I LOVE the way it came out. I really need to do some simpler cards. I really do love the look. I think this Lili of the Valley image is adorable. I wanted the cardbord box to look really worn and 'played in'. The wood veeners really make this card. I need to get more of these. I just ♥ them!!!

 

Well, I'm off to bed. I work in the morning. I should be home around 4.. after I feed my little monkeys I think I have a date.. in my craft armoire! :)

 

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Easter.. and some Layouts!

Happy Easter Everyone.

 

Today we are just lounging around. We are going out to dinner. Unfortunately I don't have a family

that  cares to do anything on Holidays... So it's just Me Ralph and the kids today. Instead of spending it cooking and cleaning.. alone I'd much rather go out to dinner.. so we will!

 

Here are a few layouts I wanted to share that I did this week.

 

I made this one using some new Elle's Studio products I got and some I won from being Featured on their blog. Yay me!! I just love these tags. I also used some of my Teresa Collins papers, dies and embellishments, Glits Designs alphas and washi, Freckled Fawn wood chips, Basic Grey epoxy stickers, Amy Tangerine papers!

 

 

This Layout I made using American Crafts, Elle's Studio, Crate Paper - Maggie Holmes, Freckled Fawn, too!

 

I love this photo! I have it in 8 1/2 x 11 too!
