I really am still here

Hi Everyone...I wanted to say sorry nothing new has been posted on my blog in a week.  I promise there will be lots to come.  Currently I have going through some major life changes and am in the process of moving...which has thrown everything into chaos.  Please know there will be some goodies next week but I'm away for a few days trying to catch up. 

Hugs To Everyone!!!!

More Heartfelt Wedding Collection

I really love the new wedding collection from Heartfelt, but you know me I have to mix it up.  When I saw this die that was released my first thought was how cool it would love dimensional...and I was right.  Granted this die is beautiful just in an of itself, but I think it's always nice to think about products you have and all the ways you can use them...not just the given.  You can get complete details on how to make the fan spray and card on Heartfelts Blog...so be sure to check it out.

I have to laugh as this is another one of those cards you would just have to hand deliver.  No envelopes for us please...LOL.  I'm seem to be a roll lately with those types of cards. 

Hugs,

Priceless

This is a layout I did of my sister Gini...who really is priceless to me.  I created the layout for Creative Charms and used embellishments from their Vintage Collections.  It was perfect with this new paper line from Bo Bunny. 

 

Layering up your embellishments like I did with the velvet flowers and make your own frames really gives a whole other look to your embellies...so don't be afraid to mix it and create your own look. 

Have a great weekend and I'll see you next week.

Hugs,

Shabby Hugs

It's always fun to push yourself in one way or another and this card was a bit of a stretch for me with it's shaaby chic look. I love the finished result as it's used some of my favorites products...Kaisercraft flowers and paper, Tim Holtz rosette die and distress inik, seam binding and of course Waltzing Mouse stamps...so how could it not be beautiful.

The challenge over at Shabby Tea Room is embossing and though you only had to do one type, dry or heat...I did both on this card.  I think the leaves really rock with their detail and the stamped doilies are subtle...I like how one is so bold and the other so soft.  The sketch I used was for Waltzing Mouse Sketch Challenge.    Have to tell you I was a bit tickled when I showed my husband my card his remark was " How would that fit in an envelope"  I suppose my cards are getting to be like mini sculptures and not cards anymore, LOL.
See you tomorrow with some Heartfelt Creations Love.

Hugs,

You Mean the World to Me

This is a card I made for the current Shabby Tea Room challenge.  It was a recipe challenge 2 designer papers, 4 buttons and 6 layers...and did I have fun with this.  The papers are from Webster's Pages and I love how unusual they are for a beach/ocean theme.  The flowers were made with Kraft cardstock, water and ink and of course four buttons, LOL.  I burned the edges of the map paper to give a worn aged look and then torn the kraft paper behind it to match.  Prima vines added a perfect touch behind my flowers and I used some hemp to add a little hand sewn stitching.  Lastly the sentiment if from JustRite Stampers and embossed..

I feel like I'm ready to head to Key West with a margarita in my hand with this card, LOL...that's a nice feeling.  Have a great weekend and see you next week.

Hugs,
