Count Your Blessings

Thank you Pixie Dust Paperie for

having me as your Pixie Guest today. It's an honor for me to have you feature my card.

The cherry, stamp and butterfly were fussy cut and popped

up on dimensional foam squares.

A Tim Holtz Bauble and Fanciful Button came from

Pixie Kits.

Can't make a card without pearls right now.

These beautiful papers all came from the October

Pixie Kit - Fall in Love. Be sure to check out all that Pixie Kirsty has available in the Shop... her kits are amazing.

Now I'm off to the church to decorate for my son's wedding. 

Have a Happy Day!

Wedding Card

Just a quick post to show you a card for a friend's wedding.

This is made with TPC Studio papers, several dies and 

punches, distress inks and of course, pearls, bling and ribbon.

I've got to run... lots to do for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner tomorrow night.

Have a Happy Day!

My Butterfly Garden & City Crafter Challenge #57

I said it before and I'm saying it again...

I [heart] Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden collection. These papers are the softest, most feminine colors I have seen.

The stripes are delicate... just barely there.

This ruffled pink dotted trim came from Frog Feathers.

The roses were liberally sprayed with Glimmer Mist. I'm lovin' this stuff!

Prima bling with roses... ahhhh!

I'm entering this card in the CCC #57 which is coming from Linda this week. It's all about Stripes and Polka Dots. 

The Guest Designer is Viola Mahr. Ladies, 

you have to see her work... it is so amazing and she is only nineteen!

Please join us this week! The Design Team has 

given us plenty of inspiration, so nothing should hold you back!

Sooo Happy

The sky is gray, it's raining again, but

the Lord sure is good! I've been working on my son and future daughter-in-law's program for the wedding on Saturday. What a blessing! I made this happy card because that's the way I feel.

I used my Times Square Twenty 11 Kit from Pixie Dust Paperie

for this card. A pre-made white 5 x 7 card from Darice is the base. From the kit I took My Minds Eye papers... Perfect Damask and Beautiful Day. Cut the two rectangles and then a MS punched border, butterflies with a Die-namics from MFT Stamps and a Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Oval. What great paper!

  

The scalloped oval was the perfect size for this BoBunny Gabrielle 

Trinket. I punched some MS Oak Leaf pieces with AC cardstock in Pine from Springtime Pixie and distressed the edges with Antique Linen ink. The variety of roses I sprayed with Candy Apple Red Glimmer Mist from the TST11 Kit and Ranger's Perfect Pearls Mist Heirloom Gold.

This flower is trim from Frog Feathers, Recollections

leaves, a MME brad and black seam binding ribbon from Prairie Bird Boutique.

More of my bargain lace trim from Surplus City and lots of 

Prima bling. I am just loving bling right now... the more, the better! 

Have a Happy Day!

Spotlight Artist at CCCB

Wow... have been so busy that I hadn't

realized I was chosen as one of the Spotlight Artists at CCCB for my Challenge #55 card.

Thank you so very much, ladies!

I actually had changed this card into one for my 

Mom that I gave her on Mother's Day. This was the result...

Have a Happy Day!

Happy Birthday Dear Sarah

I'm sorry I haven't been around much.

We finished up our garage sale and then gave a surprise birthday party for our future daughter-in-law.

She is totally into sharks, so I made her card from this

amazing Best Creation paper from their Summer Time collection using both sides. Made the scalloped border from Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby and an MFT die, and the other with a scrap of unknown origin and a MS Scallop Dot punch.

My sentiment is inked onto another snippet of the Best Creation 

paper cut with a Spellbinders Labels Seventeen. I added Ranger's Antique Linen Distress Ink to the edges. Put on some bling and a Recollections Rose.

The shark and shells are from the Reminisce Under The 

Sea Dimensional Sticker Set. The bow is ribbon from Michaels. 

Happy Birthday Dear Sarah!

More Happy Mail

 Thank the Lord for the dear friends I 

have met on this blogging journey. This week I have been showered with happy mail (thanks, Ros, I didn't know that's what it was called). I just have to show you what Kirsty sent me...

 I had purchased all her Pixie kits except for the October Fall In Love, 

her debut kit. She told me she wanted me to have a complete set and this was her final kit... they are now sold out. What an honor! I am so thrilled to have had her send me this... but she didn't stop there, for a noticed a lot of other goodies she slipped in along side. What a generous and kind friend! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Miss Kirsty.
