Joy

Happy November, dear friends! I hope you're all well. :)

Today begins new challenges at Live & Love Crafts and Deep Ocean! At LLC we are celebrating White Christmas, while at Deep Ocean we are playing with Dies/Punches. I hope you can join us for some crafty fun!

I have combined two gorgeous Pion Design collections for my wintry scene. The focal point is from Glistening Season, which is nestled within a beautiful Wycinanka Loveliness 2 frame. The snowy papers are from Greetings from the North Pole.

My poinsettias are Cheery Lynn dies, which I have centered with Pearl Stamen and embossed with Shabby White Frantage. Sparkly Pomegranate Apples are tucked in for extra touches of holiday red. The bottom corner features sweet cinnamon sticks and part of a Wycinanka Reindeer Border as a pendant.

Tucked within the top of the pretty Isabelle lace is Wycinanka's Snowflake Border. Snow Writer (topped with Glamour Dust for Christmas sparkle) adds snowy detailing throughout. The card base was made with Go Kreate Frame Frilly 10 dies. I hope it brings love and joy to the recipient in need of Christmas miracles.

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day!

Timeless

Hello, sweet friends! I am grateful for you. ♥️

Today I am sharing a wee bit of inspiration on the Live & Love Crafts blog. To celebrate a special occasion, I used lovely papers from Maja Design's Vintage Romance and a gorgeous Wycinanka chippie.

Wycinanka's Large Clock is painted with white acrylic paint, centered with a stunning Button Etoile, and adorned with a sprinkling of pearls. My sentiment is from Maja's Vintage Autumn Basics, which pairs perfectly with the focal point and the memories to be celebrated and made.

Nestled within the floral arrangement are two beautiful vintage pins: Capped Teardrops and Maya Road Heart Pins. The sweet Love Heart Clip is also from Maya Road, from which dangles a pretty Leaves Chain charm.

Several trims from Sandy's inspiring collection add layers of softness and elegance. One of my favorite parts of the design process is choosing the trims... they make my heart flutter. ♥️

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful weekend. :)

Graciellie Design Fall Fest Blog Hop

Hello, sweet friends! I'm fluttering in today in celebration of Graciellie Design's Fall Fest Blog Hop, where we are creating with lovely goodies from Gracie's digital stamp shop. ♥︎

Today is Day 2! This month Gracie is celebrating with giveaways, sales, and inspiration! Each day you will have the opportunity to win a Graciellie Design digital stamp set of your choice. We have prepared beautiful projects for your inspiration, so hop along and join in the fun. If you haven't joined the blog hop for Day 1, be sure to visit Graciellie Design's blog and start there.

Today I am showcasing the Sent with a Prayer stamp set to deliver love and hope to a family in need. Although my papers don't shout Fall, my card is created to build up a harvest of blessings for the recipient.

The sentiments are bursting with sweet encouragement and the foliage is beautiful. ♥︎

My sentiment is showcased by Wycinanka's Decor chipboard frame, which is sprinkled with pearls and nestled within Wild Orchid Crafts flowers. Wycinanka's Background Hearts are tucked in for extra touches of love.

My card base is created with Spellbinders Gold Labels Four to create a sweet set with my card from yesterday. The papers are from Pion Design's Fairytale of Spring, a sheet I have saved for a few years for just the right occasion. I hope it shines light into their dark days. ♥︎
