Live and Love Crafts "Happy"

This week at LLC we are inspired by the "Happy Whateva" theme. Sooo, since I have MANY birthdays in October and November I thought I'd take advantage of this theme! Last week I showed you a card for my sister's birthday. Today I'm showing you a card I made for my MIL...who IS on the SAME DAY as my sister and I.

I thought I would go with a cute little gift set and made her the bag to match the card which held a gift certificate.

Here I am playing with more of the new papers from Maja Design "Vintage Autumn Basics". Love these new papers!! The image is something I found on the internet and it's perfect for her because she loves wine. :)

Here is my "Happy" part of my card. Like last week's card, I added some Maja paper on the backside of the Melissa Frances frame and added my "Happy" sentiment.

I don't think it takes much to make a cute little bag. Just need a few layers of gorgeous paper, some ribbon, flowers and a nice shabby seam binding bow!!

Now I'm thinking the next card I show you should be a winter or Christmas card since it's coming up so quickly. How does that happen every year?! LOL!

Don't forget to join us in the NOVEMBER challenge for
a change to win!! It's a random draw and someone has to win
so why not you?!

OH and I'd love it if you stopped by and signed up
for my November monthly giveaway!

Enjoy your weekend!!

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!
