LLC - Bride and Groom

Hello ladies!!  I'm back with another vintage piece for Live and Love Crafts!  Over this past few weeks the DT at LLC have been showcasing new digital images from Crafts and Me.  This image is called "Bride and Groom" but you must see some of the other amazing images.  I could have played with ALL of them!!  Who knows I still might.  :)

I've always thought these papers were so pretty from Pion Designs and it's an older collection but new to me.  Love those deep burgundy colors.  I had chosen these papers but then some new ones showed up in the mail when I was starting.  I resisted temptation and used some of my gorgeous stash.  However, those are coming soon!  LOL!  Don't you just love this clay heart?

I misted my Kort and Godt flower using blackberry Glimmer Mist and added some LLC berry pins to finish off my Wild Orchid bouquet.

The Melissa Frances resin pieces are called "I Thee Wed".  I distressed the edges a bit with cocoa Momento ink for a nice vintage feel.

And last but not least, this gorgeous GORGEOUS lace!!  YUM-MEY!  I also used a Magnolia Doohickey for a cardstock layer of lace between the two pieces of cloth lace for some texture.

Well that's all I have to show for today!  If you get a chance to stop over, check out the amazing DT projects at Live and Love Crafts Inspiration blog.  I quit going there because I am tired of cleaning off my keyboard.  LMBO!!  JK!  They actually inspire me as well.

OH and don't forget about the month long challenge going on over at LLC.  It's a sketch challenge and there's a great prize for the winner!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you enjoyed my project.  Have a great weekend!

Little Darlings Rubber Stamps - Lolli

Hello my friends!!  I'm back with another card from LDRS's Cutie Pie line called "Lolli".  Since's she such a cutie I figured she'd be perfect on a "cute" card.  I also used "Birthday Sentiments" from LDRS as well.   

The papers are from Simple Stories called "Sweet Bliss" and same with the bingo cards.  I used a Spellbinder die, added a doily and some pins I've had for a very long time.  One of those things I was happy to FINALLY get to use from my stash.  LOL!  

I made some of my own rolled flowers then added some Wild Orchid flowers, then a few more.....and more.....and more.  I finally had to tell myself to put the flowers down and BACK AWAY FROM THE TABLE!!  LOL!  

 Thanks for coming back to my blog to take a look today!  Have a great week!!

Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Challenge

I'M BACK!!   One day after the last post.  LMBO!  Ok SO!!  I have a new card to show you for the next Magnolia-licious challenge and this time the theme is:

SOME LIKE IT HOT!!

I like using the most recent collection for each new challenge but sometimes I really have to think about how I'm gonna make it work with my new images.  Like really reach for it.  LOL!!  Besides, stock is always better on the newer stuff.  hee hee  I decided to go with Piping Tilda and Little Rose Cake and make my shaped card with lots of flowers  I also used a Magnolia image called "Postcard".  

Here's the HOTNESS of my card.  LOL!!  Handmade candles!!  The wicks are made from a piece of wire that I covered with Ranger liquid pearls and just kept building on it until it dried in the shape of a flame.  Voila!!  

I find that when I add flowers I have to hold myself back because I just keep going and going.  The nice thing about them is it only takes a few....but really?  Am I all about FEW?!  LMBO! 

So if you can, take a moment to check out all the amazing inspiration at Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps challenge blog.

Mini Monday with Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps

Good morning!!  Welcome to another inspirational post for Magnolia-licious and Wee Stamps Mini Monday!  Every Monday we share our different ways on how to use the mini Magnolia's. 

This week I'm using "Runaway Bride Tilda" and "Where is my Bride" from the new Special Moments collection.  I giggled when I stamped her running away from him.  I get such a kick out of her!

I covered some Maya Road flag chipboard pieces with some Magnolia wedding papers I found in my stash and added some aged gold Frantage to the edges. 

I thought I'd show you a close up of the new View Master doohickey.  Isn't it cute?!!  I kinda like how small it is.  I put gold foil paper behind it but it's tricky to take a picture of that stuff without it looking black or reflecting.  I also used an older background stamp from Magnolia called "Love".

I also added lots of Frantage to both of these hearts, edges of paper and the row of pearls, which is tricky to make sure you do it quick enough not to have them melt!

Don't forget our challenge going on this week at Magnolia-licious of "Love is in the Air" and a new one coming out on Tuesday!

HAVE A GREAT WEEK

and thanks for visiting!
