Magic of the Moment

Hello, precious friends! I hope you're having a lovely weekend. I'm sharing a soft and sweet encouragement card on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today.♥︎

A crafty friend of mine is a tough stretch, so I created this card to encourage her to embrace every tiny bit of magic she can find. (We do make the most wonderful friends in this community, don't we?) How I treasure these beautiful Wild Orchid Crafts flowers! Every card is an indoor garden for the special recipient.♥︎

I combined pink and white blossoms, which sparkle with a touch of Glamour Dust paint. A vintage crown pin (on special!) is nestled within. The dreamy papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero collection.♥︎

White Cotton Lace adorns the sides, while White Net Lace ruffles across my floral arrangement.♥︎  The lace floral corners are from my stash. I wanted to add softness to my bouquet without adding leaves, so I tucked in a few lace roses (inspired by my sweet teamie Evgenia!).

I pray this is a ray of sunshine in my friend's life. Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful day!♥︎

Sweet Pink Birthday

Hello, sweet friends! After a bout with the dreaded flu bug, I am back in action and will be sprinkling your blogs with love later today! I hope you are healthy and happy.♥︎ I am posting on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog, sharing a sweet pink birthday card.

Blossoming in love for the special day, my bouquet is filled with roses, sweetheart blossoms, rosebuds, and gorgeous tulips. Oh the beauty of WOC.♥︎

I combined Pink Mist and Mixed Pink flowers for a variety of pink shades, nestled alongside pure white beauties. ♥︎ The dreamy papers are from Maja Design's Sofiero collection. I kept the framed design mostly open because it's just so lovely.. I envision it as the butterflies dancing around a sweet scene, with darling rosebuds sprinkling atop the birthday girl.

The bow is made with lovely Pink Tulip seam binding and my sentiment is trimmed with White Net Lace. (Yes, I have an affinity for doing that.) ♥︎ The pretty frame is Tutti Design's Butterfly Oval, which makes my heart happy.

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥︎

Birthday Wishes

Hello, sweet friends! I hope you're enjoying a lovely weekend! I'm posting today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog, sharing a wee bit of birthday inspiration for a dear friend's special day. ♥︎

Speaking of birthdays, I was blessed with some amazing crazy gifts on Friday for mine and I couldn't wait to put some to use!

My focal point is made up of dreamy Sue Wilson dies (Maddie and Lauren), which were part of a gift! I love them so much. My friend loves elegance and sweetness, so I paired beautifully ruffly white blossoms with darling Rose Pink roses. Isn't that a gorgeous shade of pink? ♥︎ It is perfect for my Maja Design papers. The heart paper is from Vintage Baby, while the rest are from Vintage Summer Basics.

I continue to be enamored with the relatively new White Lotus flowers... the abundance of sunshiny yellow nestled in the centers is irresistible. ♥︎ I have nestled it alongside a Chrysanthemum, which has long been one of my all-time favorite WOC blooms. 

For the center detailing, adorable miniature sweetheart blossoms accompany Rose Pink roses, to which I added a tiny trail of pearls. I hope she loves it.

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a beautiful day! ♥︎

Celebrating Love

Hello, precious friends! I hope you're having a beautiful day. I will be visiting you this week, which fills me with endless joy. I'm popping in with a quick post, as I am on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog with a sweet little love card. ♥︎

Blue and pink is one of my (many) favorite color combinations, so I topped my Maja Design sky blue paper with sweet pink and pristine white. Wild Orchid Crafts pinks are irresistible. ♥︎ My chipboard sentiment is from Wycinanka.

Gorgeous Pink Mist Cottage Roses called to me for this occasion. They are exceptionally beautiful, especially for a romantic card. Nestled amongst them are a variety of flowers, blossoming in love. ♥︎ Miniature Sweetheart Blossoms are too adorable for words, so I tucked in a few.

A stunning Filigree Metal Corner brings a touch of shiny elegance, while Pink Tulip vintage seam binding adds a ruffle of softness. ♥︎ The darling butterfly is a Sue Wilson die.

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

Shine Like the Stars

Hello, dear friends! This will be short and sweet today, as my weekend began in the hospital and I am quite sleepy! I am grateful to share that I am on the proper path to finally heal. Thank you for sticking with me.♥︎

I am posting on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog today, where I combined a simpler card design with my first use of 'cookie cutter' metal dies. The gorgeous Crafter's Companion Flutterby frame cuts from within, which caused me to pause a few times to situate myself. ;)

My encouragement card features stunning Autumn Blossoms, fluttering atop the prettiest leaves and ruffles of seam binding.♥︎ The papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Romance.

The amazing Anna Griffin sentiment granted me another opportunity to use the pearl stars I love so much! Aren't they beautiful?♥︎

White embellishments are pure magic in their sweet elegance.♥︎

Thank you for visiting and I wish you a sparkly day!♥︎

Birthday Love

Hello, precious friends! This year has been unlike any other but I am valiantly fighting to regularly craft once again and sprinkle your work with sweetness... thank you for the continual love. I am forever thankful for you. ♥︎

I am posting today on the Wild Orchid Crafts blog, sharing a wee bit of birthday inspiration. ♥︎ This is also for our new delightful challenge at Deep Ocean, where we are playing with furry/fuzzy friends! Pure sweetness.

My darling mother's birthday is fast approaching! To celebrate, I've combined vintage pink with classic white and soft green. My papers are from Maja Design's Vintage Romance.

Along with gorgeous flowers, I've layered lovely trims and elegant pearls. I love the combination of the fabric babies breath with vintage seam binding... the softness and wispiness make my heart flutter. Wild Orchid Crafts is a treasure trove of sweet beauty. ♥︎

My chipboard elements are from Wycinanka, two of which have been painted with Crackle Paste. Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a blessed day! ♥︎

Favorite 2016 Project at Deep Ocean Challenge!

Merry Christmas, my sweet friends! I pray everyone had a beautiful holiday with overflowing hearts of joy. :)

It's time for a new challenge at Deep Ocean! We want to see your personal favorite project created by you in 2016. How fun is that? :) I cannot wait to see your beautiful entries! I wavered a bit in my decision, but have settled upon my lovey-dovey bird cage card.

Original post with more detailed description: Celebrating Love

My card showcases a Wycinanka bird cage, papers and trims from Live & Love Crafts, and of course flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts!

♥️♥️♥️

♥️♥️♥️

Be sure to see the inspiring work of my teamies and link up your favorite project you made this year! What a gorgeous gallery it will be. :) Thank you for visiting and I wish you a beautiful day! 

Wish

Hello, sweet and sparkly friends! Today is my last post on the Live & Love Crafts blog. Although I remain heartbroken at LLC's closure, I am excited for the new adventures that await our fearless leader! Thank you for having me, Sandy! It has been an honor to create for and alongside you. ♥️

I have paired my favorite papers from Maja Design's Vintage Romance with whimsical Wycinanka chippies to send sparkly wishes to a heart in need of hope. ♥️

My beloved Wycinanka fairy appears yet again... I have now used 5 of the 6! They are gorgeous and I adore them sprinkled with Shabby White Frantage. She rests atop a Castle Frame chippie, which has been painted with Distress Crackle Paint. The greeting is from the Make a Wish phrase. The stunning trims consist of Tulle and Marquisa, which are topped with a pearl string bow.

It is safe to say that LLC created my addiction to trims. ♥️

Pomegranate apples add a splash of bright pink love within the Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, while the gorgeous French Lace doily adds an extra layer of softness. 

Thank you for fluttering on by and I wish you a magical weekend! ♥️
