Live and Love Crafts Monthly Challenge

WARNING:  This post is SUPER picture heavy.  :)

This month at Live and Love Crafts our new challenge is this photo inspiration.  Isn't it pretty?  In this picture I found the clock, hearts (even on the mugs), flowers and winter and there's a lot more too. 

Here is my sticky note easel card that I put a WHOLE lotta love into because it's
SIMONE'S BIRTHDAY CARD!!! WOO WOO!!

  I used the new Maja Design's "Vintage Autumn Basics" and the image is "Nikki" from Saturated Canary.

Don't you just love these new skates in at LLC?!!  ADORABLE!!  I distressed the edges of them at the back and then I added some shabby white Frantage.  The Tim Holtz weathered clock die is painted with TH distress stain and then covered with TH clear rock candy.  Oh and I also added some Gesso...over EVERYTHING!

I cut a small piece of Maja dp and adhered it on to the back of the frame and then added the distressed "hb" for my sentiment cuz
IT'S SIMONE'S BIRTHDAY!

 Isn't this white apple just the sweetest?!!  I love it!!  I've tied a shabby seam binding ribbon onto my Magnolia heart tag, added a nice Prima paper clip clock with some gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.  I've also added two clay hearts with some shabby blue Frantage embossed onto them.  Sooooooo pretty!!
JUST LIKE SIMONE!!  ON HER BIRTHDAY!

A close up of my image and it's a better picture of these super cute wooden hearts new to the LLC store as well.  I HAD to add some glitter to this somewhere since that's one of my sister's favorite things.  Besides,
IT'S HER BIRTHDAY!

This is the base piece of my creation.  Isn't that lace just gorgeous peeking out both sides of the sticky note holder?  Also, I just love these new Prima resin corner pieces.  I love Simone too.
AND IT'S HER BIRTHDAY!

Here is a picture of what it looks like when it's closed.  I wrapped it in tissue and then in bubble wrap and sent it off to Simone.
CUZ IT'S HER BIRTHDAY!

LMBO!!  So I'd like to dedicate this post and card to my bestie buddie EVAH!  Her birthday is actually tomorrow so I'm a day early but wasn't it fun?!! 

Buddie!!  I hope you have a great day tomorrow and I wish I could be there to hang with you but I'm sure we'll be texting each other allllllll day!  ha ha! Love you!

Live & Love Crafts - Charms

This week we are playing with CHARMS!  It's such a teeny and easy embellishment you can add to any card and there are a TON of choices at LLC.  

I had so much fun with this!!  You're gonna be shocked but I used Maja Design's "It's Christmas Time" papers.  hee hee!  They were actually just perfect for what I wanted to do.  I printed the bingo cards, Halloween flashcard and tickets from my Silhouette and distressed them all.  As much as it killed me to use such pretty lace for a Halloween card, "Empress Alexandra" (it's it gorgeous?!!) it just seemed to fit perfectly.  And a witch without her raven?  Well...ok, it's just a bird but for this card I'm pretending it's a raven.  LOL!  Oh and I found the image on Pinterest.

As you've seen in previous posts, this week we are showcasing some charms from LLC and yes, I did get this one from the store called "Ghost House".  

A smaller Wild Orchid bouquet for me with some Kort and Godt rolled flowers.  I always add a Melissa Frances pearl in the center.  It just seems to finish it off so nicely.

I even managed to sneak a berry in there!  I used my caption maker to type the "SPELL" sentiment, painted the Studio Calico wood banner with some Tim Holtz distress crackle paint and then wrapped it in some dollar store webbing. How do you like the creepy skeleton cameo?  Found that on Ebay but I thought it fit rather nicely into LLC's oval frame pendant.  hee hee 

I know lots of you don't celebrate Halloween but here in Canada we do.  Well...most people do.  I hide.  LOL!!  I have to admit, I'm sure this is the "prettiest" Halloween card I've ever made!!  It's nice to do something different sometimes so I hope you enjoyed this one as much as I did!

Hugs,

Eulanda
