YAY TO WOMEN!

So I was pretty excited to be making a card that was shaped but uh....the shape kind of got lost with all my layers sticking out all over.  ha ha ha ha!  Oops!  Oh well!  This week at Live and Love Crafts our inspiration is "Femininity" as March 8th is International Woman's Day!   YAY WOMEN!!

I chose pink, of course, a super feminine color and used Maja Design's "Vintage Spring Basics".  The image is from Pion Design's, Gramma's Attic "Love" image sheet. 


Here I added this cute little birdhouse with a strip of rose ribbon and a whole bunch of Wild Orchid Craft flowers.  Also, I just love these paperclips!  


What do you think of my bow?  Isn't it cute?!!  I cut it using my Silhouette and I suspect you'll be seeing more of these on future cards.  I also like this wooden butterfly available at LLC.


I took a Melissa Frances resin frame and backed it with some Vintage Spring paper then popped this cute little bird's nest charm on top.  The sentiment is also from the Vintage Spring papers and I distressed that as well as all layers. 


Well that's all I have to share today!  Any plans for the weekend?  I think I might be crafting!  Who me?!  I know that's just crazy talk right?  LOL!  Enjoy!
Hugs,
Eulanda

Live and Love Crafts March Challenge

I was so excited to FINALLY get a new Silhouette blade so I can make cards other than just SQUARES.  Ok, I realize this is a square but isn't it a pretty one?  LOL!!  The challenge this month for Live and Love Crafts is:

EARTHY EASTER

Sooooo I went with the blues and browns using Pion's new "Flower Frames" collection.  Popped up a cute "Tilda and Her Bunny" Magnolia image colored in distress inks.  Seems to me she's lost a bit of her color through the photo's but ahhh what do you do? 


Isn't this resin butterfly gorgeous?!!  I sure luv those.  And the cute trail of wooden hearts are so cute as well.  I added gesso to .... YOU GOT IT!  EVERYTHING!!  AGAIN!  Good luck prying that stuff outta my hands!  LOL!


Here I have an assortment of all kinds of things.  The rolled flower, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and the clay heart (which I added Frantage and Gesso to) are all from LLC.  The easter egg and bunny (I added Tim Holtz crackle paint to it) are from Southern Ridge Trading Company, a new Canadian-based chipboard company. 


Ok and one more pic of my image using the distress inks.  Also, you get a better view of that frame behind Tilda from the "Flower Frames" collection.  Very pretty!


So please join us this month at Live and Love Crafts using ANY supplies and try to win yourself an online gift certificate. 
Stay tuned for my new monthly challenge and winner for last month's!
Thanks for stopping by and have yourself a fabulous weekend!

Magnolia Down Under - Butterflies

Monday, February 24, 2014

FUN TIMES!

This week at LLC we are inspired by a "Carnival" theme!!!  I was a little worried at first because I had no idea where to start but Maja Design's "Vintage Summer Basics" papers helped to get me going!  


For the top of the card I used Tim Holtz's "On the Edge Star Cluster" border and stars.  I added some Frantage to a lot of different places on the card.  The balloon chipboard pieces are from Southern Ridge Trading Co.  I also added the Magnolia cloud doohickey and some Martha Stewart butterflies.  Again, a fair amount of Wild Orchid Craft flowers from LLC.


At first I was worried about what image I would use but then remembered I actually owned Tilda Jester.  There's a fine line between hoarding and a collection.  LOL!!  Well is SHE tricky to color but I think I made out ok!!


I know I say it a lot but I really do love all the laces you can buy at LLC.  Such an amazing collection!!  Gotta love those rolled flowers too!!  Yummy!


Have a great week everyone!!!
Big hugs,
Eulanda
