Happy September, sweet friends! I hope you're having a beautiful day. :o)
It's time for a fun new challenge at Live & Love Crafts! Sandy has created a gorgeous collage for photo inspiration, which you'll see just below. :o) This card will soon be off to encourage a dear friend.
For additional touches of gold, the Prima Resin Square Frame and Wild Orchid Crafts metal corner are heat-embossed with Shabby White Frantage. Tucked within my WOC flowers are Magnolia Heart Swirls for love and a doily for softness. The sweetheart blossoms are sprinkled with Glamour Dust. Everything sweet must sparkle. ♥︎
Oh how I adore the dangling trims from the dream catcher! To reflect that, I layered five of my favorite LLC trims. :o) Shabby seam binding flutters alongside my floral arrangement, which leads to Rhinestone Lace (such a soft pink!), Shabby Rose Organza, Marguerite lace, and Juliette lace. I hope it brings a smile to my treasured friend's heart. ♥︎
I hope you'll play along with us this month! I'd love to see your take on the pretty collage. :o) Be sure to check out the creations from my talented teamies. Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day. :o)

Photo Inspiration:
Isn't it dreamy? Maja Design's Vintage Summer Basics instantly came to my heart. I was inspired by the earthy color palette, abundance of trims, the sweet doilies in the shabby dream catcher, and the pop of pink from the flower.
The 1905 sheet serves as my base... the loveliest wood paper I've ever owned. Atop it is 1910, which I love for its sweet design and precious pops of pink. The butterflies are fussy cut from Coffee in the Arbor and layered. "Bloom where you're planted" is from My Craft Spot's Tiny Tags 2, which is heat-embossed in gold.
