Earthy Easter

Morning,

I'm a little bit weary this morning, I stayed up watching the last episodes of Season 6 of the Sons of Anarchy so didn't hit the sack until after 2am but awake by 6:30am, how does that work!

Where did February go?  I can't believe we have hit March already but after sooooo much rain I sure am looking forward to spring days and lighter evenings and hopefully dry ones, lol.

As it's the 1st of the month its challenge time at Live and Love Crafts and Sandy has set the theme as "Earthy Easter", and this is my take on it, hope you like it.


The dies have been out again.  The top one being the fabulous February release from Marianne Designs, and the side die and leaves by Noor Design (Joycraft).


I cut one of the tiny butterflies from the border sheet and popped it into the bottle cap and then added glossy accents to set it.








Sorry it's a bit brief this morning, but I haven't woke up yet and we have a garage to clear out starting with the arrival of the van in 10 mins, yikes, I need coffee.

Don't forget to enter the CANDY

Last LOTV GDT


Happy Friday Everyone,

I can't believe this is my last GDT for LOTV, time has flown and I have so enjoyed using these cute stamps.  As you know I do love these cuties so it won't be the last you'll be seeing of them don't worry.

I would like to thank all the LOTV followers for all the comments left, and there were loads.  I did start replying but realised quite quickly that I wasn't going to be able to keep up.  So a huge thank you to all those that left comments, I  have read everyone of them.  I would also like to thank Anne for the opportunity, it has been great and I have loved playing with the stamps :)

I have chosen this older stamp, but I love it, could be used for birthdays, spring/summer, and seeing as it's Mother's Day soon and my Mum's birthday in March I thought I would use the opportunity to get ahead of my schedule, just perfect for Mum.

As this is also my DT card for Live and Love Crafts with a theme of carnival, it made me think of candy floss and pink, so I have used some pink in my creation.


I was going to use a watering can as the charm but Sandy has some new charms in and this 3D bucket was just soooo cute I had to use it, anyway the little bear already has a watering can so I bucket would do nicely, don't ya think.

I have stamped another sentiment from the Everyday Set, love these and attached to the flower arrangement on the right.



I have used 3 different papers, starting from the bottom Pion Design A Day in May "Lady, Maya Design Vintage Autumn Basics III and for the top layer Maya Design Vintage Frosts Basics 3rd December (not just for christmas, hahaha), links at the bottom of the post.

Seeing as Jenny Bear is caring for her window box I thought the Prima Junkyard Taps/Kobs with the word "CARE" was perfect for this card.  I have added some hortesania's, 20mm rose and some pink flower spray.


Here's a close up of the little Bucket 3D charm tied to a Magnolia So Wrapped Lovely Tag and finsihed with some Moulin Rouge lace, twine and a 15mm two tone rose and a dashing of gesso.




My artsy photo, lol.  Well a girl has gotta try.



And here's a little re-cap of the Guest Cards that I made for LOTV during February.
