Sweet Love

Hello, sweet friends! I'm sorry I've not been around to visit in the last two days. Unfortunately I'm not feeling well but will be visiting you as soon as I can.  ♥︎

I'm posting on the Live & Love Crafts blog today, sharing a project using Maja Design's gorgeous Vintage Romance. Upon first glimpse of this collection, I knew making a scrapbook layout would be irresistible. ♥︎
My page is comprised of several of Sandy's new trims along with some gorgeous Wycinanka chipboard pieces. I was in my happy place for this projected, surrounded by so much crafty beauty. ♥︎
I think the various Paris chipboard frames are my biggest Wycinanka love. All of the chippies in this project are covered in Picket Fence Crackle Paint, which is really pretty in person. Sweet Violet was again my layout inspiration, as this is part of the surprise I am making her mom. ♥︎ It is a joy to support Violet in her mission to bless children battling cancer. She is a cancer survivor and knows the agony they endure. She is everything beautiful.

I cut the Paris Border in half, placing one on each side of my layout. The Botanical Half Circles are so whimsical! They're a fun addition to flower arrangements, along with my favorite Magnolia Herat Swirls. The layered butterflies are Memory Box Isabella dies.
My corner detailing uses three of LLC's new trims. Shabby Tulle trim rests below criss-crossed Fayette. The sides are bordered with mauve Jamila, which is a perfect match for this collection. The shade is stunning. A Romance Corner chippie details the bottom. The darling Sweet Love is also a Wycinanka chippie, which rests upon Spellbinders Gold Labels Four layers. ♥︎
You can never have too many hearts on a project. ♥︎ Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly weekend. :o)

Graciellie Design Stamp Release Blog Hop and Giveaway!

This is my second post of the day. For the Live & Love Crafts May Challenge, please click HERE.

Hello, sweet friends! We're celebrating the newest release from Graciellie Design's Digital Stamps with a blog hop! Gracie's stamps are versatile and beautiful, sure to inspire sweet creativity. Today I am sharing a card featuring one of the new sets titled Classic Greetings.
Here is the cover for the gorgeous set:
The floral stamp is so pretty and I love the abundance of sentiments in varying themes. Gracie's images are such fun to color! My encouragement card is going to a family in need of blossoming love.
I printed the image in a soft-lines manner... baby steps to no-lines coloring. :o) I colored it up with Copics and then generously covered it in Star Dust. The recipient loves sparkle as much as I (truly!), so I wanted them to sparkle for her. My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Spring Basics. Encircling Gracie's stamps in love is a Sue Wilson Italian Decorative Frame, which is adorned with a layered Cheery Lynn Designs butterfly. A Joy! Crafts Lacey Square rests beneath, while my card base is made with Go Kreate's Large Frame Frilly #10.

This and other new digital stamp sets can be found HERE for instant download. These stamps are ready to print and are perfect for all papercrafting projects.

Blossoms and Butterflies at Live & Love Crafts!

This is my first of two posts today. For the Graciellie Design Stamp Release blog hop, please click HERE.

Happy May, sparkly friends! It's time for a new challenge at Live & Love Crafts and this month we're playing with Blossoms and Butterflies!

For my project, I used a bunch of Sandy's new goodies to create a Mother's Day card. This is not for my mom, but rather will be included in a box of love I'm mailing out tomorrow. The teen cancer warrior who I made cards for has an amazing mom who I've come to treasure, so this is for the daughter to give since she is unable to do anything unassisted. ♥︎
My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Romance, their newest release. I am smitten! ♥︎ What a gorgeous collection. The card base was made with Go Kreate's Frame Frilly 7. To pick up the sweet pinks of the flowers, I added pops of pink throughout my design.
I played with the new Wycinanka chippies again. ♥︎ The moment our challenge theme was set, I knew I would feature this beautiful Rainforest Butterfly. Her pearl-accented flourish is from My Favorite Things. I also used a chippie Romance Corner. The Wycinanka pieces have been covered in Aged Gold Frantage. The whimsical scrollwork was calling for a sprinkling of pearls. ;)
A plethora of new trims means I cannot decide which to use, so I layered. :o) The Tulle Trim is unbelievably soft and wispy. I topped it with pink Amabelle (one of my favorites) and lined it with pink pearl garland. The bow was made with Juliette lace and is centered with a rhinestone pearl button.
I hope it fills both of their battling hearts with sweet, healing love. Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a sparkly happy day!
