Whispers of Love

Morning Crafters,

I have combined two of my DT's, namely Live and Love Crafts, the beautiful vintage store and Crafts and Me with one of the new release Digital Vintage Images.  The theme we are following over at LLC is Summer and the challenge at Crafts and Me is "Something Old".  So you can see the image and the vintage embellishments were perfect for both teams and with my mojo lacking, helped me tackled two birds with one stone, so to speak.

 I didn't quite have enough blue embellishments so I used my copic airbrush system and added a touch of blue to the Hortensias and one of the little seashells.  The image is called Whispers of Love and is available HERE and was just perfect for a Summer card and with the little girl holding a shell to her ear, the ideal opportunity to add some shell embellishments too.

I have used the Pion Design Vintage Garden Ornament in Blue.  I added a grey crotchet flower and added the cream leaf from the Prima fabric flower Chantelle Doily set along with some of those dainty Hortensia's, flower spray and a Kort and Godt Rolled Rose in Blue.

The little ensemble to the right consists of the seashells, Hortensia, the new Roman Numerals with some aged Aqua frantage,  one of my favourite colours, an Idea-ology corked Vial bottle, which I will add a little sentiment in later and I cut out the flower ticket from the Vintage Garden 6x6.  Just above this collection is a Pion Design Butterfly and a metal rose, also frantaged in Aged Aqua in the centre.  The doily just under this section has also some aged aqua scattered, looks fab in real life.

And here we have some of Sandy's internationally famous vintage seam binding, finsihed off with a clay heart and 2mm string pearls and attached to a Magnolia So Wrapped Lovely Tag.  Lots of Gesso and a sprinkling or two of snow tex, here and there hehehe.

The beautiful pearl lace at the bottom has been layered onto some Ribbon Picot and don't they look like they were made for each other.

Thank you for visiting and I'm sorry I was so late, dam Cameras!  Be sure to check back tomorrow, I know Tina will have a fabulous Vintage creation that I just know I will be drooling over.

Bella With Daisy

Hi Crafters,

Hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend.  I am sorry for my absence in commenting and I hope to get round to you all during this week.  My mojo still hasn't returned but I do have a card for you today using one of the new Wild Rose Studio cuties, and this lil elephant is called "Bella with Daisy".   Not my usual style, but I'm sure I will return to normal soon.

All links are below but before I go I just want to let you know about the new Magnolia Stamps arriving at BunnyZoe tomorrow.  Click on below pic.

Birthstones at LLC

Morning Crafters,

Sorry for my absence this week but as you know my mojo went walkabouts and then last weekend's antic's certainly put paid to it returning any time soon.  A huge thank you to you all for the comments and emails left/sent to cheer me up and I'm sorry if I didn't get round to replying to you all, it took me till Monday to read all the birthday messages on Facebook :)

It's challenge time at LLC, can you believe how quick it comes round?  This month the theme is your birthstone and to tell the truth I wasn't looking forward to making my card as you know it was my birthday last weekend and therefore I'm May which is EMERALD, yes..... Emerald and I don't consider myself a green girl at all.

Having said that I am quite pleased with how this card has turned out, what do you think?  All links are at the bottom of the post.

Have a good weekend and hope to see you joining us over at LLC.

Simply Vintage

Morning Crafters,

I hope you all had a better weekend than me and a thank you to all those who left messages on facebook or emailed me.  For those of you who don't know, my son said to me before he left the house Thursday evening to make sure I was awake at midnight as he wanted to wish me a Happy Birthday so when my mobile rang at 11:24 I thought it was just that.  Unfortunately it was that call that all parents dread when their son/daughter has only been driving a few weeks.  He said, "Mum,I've had an accident".  My iphone went dead, dam batteries on iphones, and my legs to jelly as I scrambled upstairs to find my Daughter's mobile ringing.  He went on to say he had hit a tree!  He was in 2nd gear, as he had just come off a roundabout and was on a straight and just about to change gear when he said the car started to veer to the right and he really doesn't know why it did that.  Well he knew he didn't want to be on the other side of the road, so he turned the steering wheel to the left to try and correct the car. The end result was he went up the kerb, skidded down an hill and into a tree and then fell a further 20ft. It was my car he was driving and it is a write-off, so I have a few hurdles to overcome this week.  I am soooo very thankful that they all made it out without a scratch. All his friends think he saved their lives, as he acted so cool and controlled the car.  Hubby said it would have been easy to roll it , but I don't want to think about any more scenario's as I'll be in tears again.  Needless to say my birthday was a complete washout, but I still have my Son for which I am goooo grateful.

Fortunately I had made this card before I became an emotional wreck and the theme us LLC girlies will be following this week is "paint".  A real easy one for me as I love my gesso, don't know if you have noticed  I have again used those gorgeous new Vintage Garden papers from PionDesign and speaking of which, didn't the girls do a fab job of showcasing them last week, a big WOW!

I have used a vintage image and look at the beautiful lace prima flower, isn't it gorgeous.

I have also added some Kort and Godt rolled roses in pink, those fabulous apples and a little mini apple and some Kort and Godt hortsenia's, some pearl stamens and a shabby vintage bark heart and of course a goating of white gesso paint here and there.

A close up of the flower arrangement.

 This is the right hand side.  The little Scotts Roses ticket is from the recent Vintage Garden release, Phlox.  All links are at the end of the post as usual.

 To the top of the card I added one of the little canvas corp mini bags and added a Magnolia Doohickey SoWrapped Lovely tag and finished off with some pink La Vie En Rose  lace and a Vintage Findings Antique Jeweled Pearl.

And a last look

Have a good week.

Missing You

Morning Crafters,

Today is my birthday and I have the day booked off work, yayyyyyyy.  Hubby is off too so I am going to be taking it easy.  I did my housework last night, so the weekend is all mine... A very happy birthday to Chris Christensen also, hope you have a great day my friend.

My card today is using the image "Missing You" by C.C.Designs. The papers are the new release Giddy Up by Carta Bella .  I have also used the new release C.C.Designs dies to make the little fasteners either side of the image.

I have used a Magnolia Doohickey Die Wrapped So Lovely and attached a little butterfly charm and Marianne Design Tassel.

The small pink roses, irredescent pearls, memo pin, pink tulle and beautiful Emily Lace are all from The Ribbon Girl.
