LLC - Vintage Frost Basics

This week at Live and Love Crafts our inspiration is the latest collection from Maja Designs called "Vintage Frost Basics".  They are just gorgeous!!!  


This image is from the same collection and I think it's just adorable!!


I've got all kinds of goodies on the left side of my card.  My pine cones are from my local forest that hubby went out and picked up for me (to my surprise) and they are the perfect size.  He made sure they were "card size".  LOL!  Awwww sweet!!  I used some shabby chic white ribbon for my bow and topped it with a metal rose, added a few Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, the white apple (one of my favorite's) and topped it all off with Gesso.


One of my favorite charms from LLC is this snowflake charm.  I added a twine bow and popped a WOC flower in the center for a quick and easy embellishment.


This tree and the oval blue chipboard piece under my image are from a new online chipboard company called Southern Ridge Trading Company.  For the oval I painted it with TH paint dauber, covered it with rock candy so it would crack, distressed the edges and then added Gesso.  The tree has Martha Stewart texture applied to it so it looks like snow.


THE LACE!!  OMG I just love the new selection of laces at LLC.  Soooo pretty!!  The bottom white piece is called "Elixir".  Isn't that a great name?  Sounds so fancy....well it is!  hee hee


THANKS SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by today.  I hope you've enjoyed my frosty card for today.  Have a great weekend my crafty friends!

HUGS,
EULANDA

Anything Goes

This week at Live and Love Crafts we have "Anything Goes" for our inspiration.  WOO HOO!  How much do you love that?!!

Starting with my papers again, I used Maja's "Vintage Frost Basics".  I love this collection and might have to buy another pad of it.  hee hee


I used this sweet image from Little Darlings Rubber Stamps from the CandiBean line called "Let's Try Again".  Pretty fitting name don't ya think?!  LOL!!  That little bear is sooo cute!!  The whole new line of CandiBean images are adorable!


I just love these Magnolia trees but distressing the edges and adding the Twinklets sure makes a world of difference!  I'm not sure where I got the little fence from but add some Gesso and brrrr instant winter!


Aren't these wooden skates fun?!!  Available at LLC and the string comes attached so you have lots to play with.  I popped up a cute little vintage pearl brand in the center. 


It's funny but even though I'm done with Christmas cards, (I'm sure I'm not) I still like making the winter cards.  hee hee

Have a great weekend my crafty friends!!

Live and Love Crafts January Challenge

HAPPY NEW YEAR AND 
 WELCOME BACK!!!

Are you all Christmas'ed out?!  I sure am and ready to make all kinds of new things this year.  More projects would be nice so we'll see how that works out for me.  LOL! 

This month at Live and Love Crafts we are challenging you to find "PERFUME" as your inspiration.  For more examples visit the LLC blog as there are UH-MAZING ideas from the DT.
Of course I went directly for the Angels and pink so it was an easy pick to start with Maja's latest collection "Vintage Frost Basics".


I also used Inkido's "Vintage Angels" image.  Aren't they sweet?  AND I just got a whole whack of new dies so here is one of my favorites the new 6002/0304 Noor! Design die.  Drool.  :)


 Here is the Tim Holtz "On the Edge Star Cluster" border.  Angels and stars - what a perfect match!  I also like this postcard from Maja's Vintage die cuts, which I used for one of the layers.


 I filled up the left side of the card with some very pretty Kort and Godt and Wild Orchid Craft flowers, beaded berries and this precious Prima Shabby Chic Cupid.


So there you have it my first card of 2014!  WOO HOO!!

New to the LLC store:


 as well as some OH SO GORGEOUS new laces.  YUM!

I hope you get a chance to join us in our first
challenge of the year.  Big hugs to everyone!
