Wedding Guest-Box Tags....

Hi!!!!

Thought I'd drop by & share some sweet little tags I created for a co-worker.  Her daughter is getting married next month and instead of a guestbook, she is going to have e a lovely little guest-box.  So they requested some customized tags to use on their adorable little box.  Her wedding is vintage & very soft colors, so here's what I made them.  Hope you like.  BTW... They were a success, they loved them :)

The papers are metallic & so beautiful in person... I tried but it's hard to capture how pretty they are.

Happy Thursday everyone!!!

Steampunk Owl ~ 2-Sided Tag...

Here's a fun large tag I put together yesterday. I used some old stash of real, rustic, vintage buttons, pins & misc metal doodads. If you look closely, the owl has a cute little makeshift eye-piece :) The owl was colored with Copics.  Paper & distress inks by Tim Holtz.  Hope you like it.

I Love Snow ~ Vintage Style Wooden Blocks Decoration

This was a fun little project...

I had my DH cut some scrap wood into 3"x 3" blocks with slightly rounded edges and I sanded them nice and smooth.  Then I choose 4 different patterns of paper, but all coordinating in color and cut them to fit my blocks, making sure that each side of each block had a different pattern to display.  I lightly inked all the paper edges with some TH distress ink.  I applied the papers with Modge Podge and let it dry completely.  Once they dried, I painted each side of each block with a sheer glimmer paint, for a very fine glitter effect (not visible in pic, but really pretty).  Last but not least, I added these pre-cut and pre-glittered, gold and red chipboard letters.

Cheers,

Hummingbird Mothers Day!

So I'm pretty happy, I managed to get in one more Mothers Day card today.  It's a special card I'd been wanting to do for my Aunt, who just happens to love hummingbirds.  I hope she likes it ;)

Have a fabulous weekend and Happy Mothers Day all you wonderful Moms out there! 

Wish me luck,  I've entered this card in the following challenges:

Paper Sundaes ~ Mother's Day

RRR ~ Mother's Day Feminine w/ Ribbon

Sentimental Sundays ~ For a Special Woman

Lollipop Crafts ~ Mama Mia

Hugs,

Mother... Thank you!

OK, here's one more Mothers Day card and since they all need mailing, I guess I'm done this year.  

I only managed to make 4, but had wanted to make them for so many special people in my life. Funny how life gets in the way. 

I hope everyone has a very special Mothers Day!!!

More Mothers Day Love...

My mom loves her little chickens, so here's what I came up with for her card... Hope she likes it!

I colored it with Copic markers and experimented with the blender pen :):):)

  

Hope everyone's week is going well.

Mothers Day Love....

Hi there!

Here's one of the many Mother's Day Cards, that I have in process.  I love to make them for everyone :):):)  As usual I'm a tad bit behind, but they should be finished just in the nick of time.

So there's lot's of stamping, inking, tea dying, and real stitching.  The cute little flower & it's petals where cut with my Cricut, using the Flower Shoppe Cartridge, which is a wonderful cartridge.  Hope you like it.  

Hugs,

Card Of Scraps...

Every now and then I challenge myself to create some cards with left over scraps of papers, ribbons, fibers, miscellaneous doodads and such.  So here are a few my "Cards Of Scraps"!  

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful day.

Cheers,

"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" ~ OMGosh it's almost here again!

As Christmas quickly approaches, let the funnest card making season begin.  Here's a quickie Christmas card to get the ball rolling... 

Happy Saturday!

Button Crazy Me!

Yep, button crazy... If I see them in bulk, I just have to buy them! I find them inspiring. This particular bunch is from one day of antique shopping in Prescott, AZ.  It was a very successful button day.  Vintage buttons are my favorite of course, but I'm not picky, I love them all... Buttons are just beautiful little works of art, waiting to be re-used or re-purposed.  

My DH recently found a new button storage for me, once its all set up, I'll post some pic's :):):)

Cheers,

Lisa

Red Chevy Corvette Vintage Old 50's Car "Lets Do Lunch" ~ Recycled Coffee Sleeve Handmade Greeting Card

The background image is a recycled coffee sleeve.  One of my husbands friends, heard that I did paper crafting and he started collecting these discarded coffee sleeves (with varying images) for me, years ago.  He thought they could be reused for something and as it turns out, he was right.  I've used them several times throughout the years on different projects.  They also work well punched into colorful flowers and such. To think these little treasures usually just get tossed :):):)
