Summer Fun

Hello, sweet friends! My posting day on the Live & Love Crafts blog has changed to Wednesdays to help out a teamie, so here I am mid-week! In my hustle to get something made, I had to put off visiting your lovely blogs. I look forward to leaving you sparkly love today. :o)
*Edit: This is also for the fabulous new challenge at Deep Ocean Challenge, where we are immersing ourselves in summer and crafting with a Beach/Seaside theme! Please come join us! :o)

I am sharing a card featuring Maja Design's Summertime. There is a sweet story about what inspired this card, but alas I am unable to sit and type it out. Just know that it is filled with the utmost love for someone in need.
This is such a versatile collection, with elegant florals and whimsical summertime scenes. I fell in love with the precious children on one sheet, so I chose to use it as a focal point of summer fun.
Framing the scene is Wycinanka's Fleur de Lis, within which I nestled seashells and pearls. The sweet mini star bottle is filled with teeny shells and a sprinkling of glamour dust (which shows up nicely in person). For the pretty little flags, I used Wycinanka Paris Borders and Lacy Banner dies from My Craft Spot (no longer in business). All of my chippies are covered in crackle paint.
The foliage within the large flower arrangement is from Joy! Crafts Oval Frame. Maja perfectly captured summertime fun in the playful designs within the collection. :o) Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day. ♥︎

Birthday/Anniversary at Live & Love Crafts!

Happy August, sweet friends! It's time for a fun new challenge at Live & Love Crafts! This marks the 50th challenge at LLC and we're carrying the milestone into our theme, as we are celebrating birthdays and anniversaries. ♥︎

I'm a wee bit rushed, as my injury flared up something fierce this weekend. Enjoy a rare short post from me! ;)
I'm celebrating with Maja Design's newest paper collection Summertime. Isn't it gorgeous? ♥︎ The Pearl Drop Trim is one of LLC's newest goodies and I adore it. You will see it often. :o) It is layered atop lovely Amabelle lace.
The Wycinanka Ornamental Butterfly chippie is a stunner! I accented it with sparkling Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, pearls, and pearl stamen for antennae.  The sweet metal Love Plate is also new, which I have given a light wash of watered down paint and adhered with Natural Hemp.
For additional metal accents I used a pretty Antique Bead (centering Cappuccino crinkle ribbon from my dear friend Diana) and the darling Liberty Bells. I don't think I'll ever tire of the bells/flower/Lace Heart Appliqué combo. It makes my heart happy. ♥︎

Be sure to flutter on over to see the gorgeous inspiration from my talented teamies! Thank you for visiting and I wish you a sparkly day. :o)
