On this card I used paper from Lemon Craft -Fresh Summer (yellow pattern)
white foamiron (colored in with distress inks)
stamens
vintage lace
stamped sayings
......everything else was just things out of my very own vintage stash...lol...the little tea box holder was actually a valentines box that I painted and covered...it was the perfect size to house tea bags....

side view....love this lace....

I have to say that the foamiron flowers feel so so real when you touch them...I can't believe I am just finding out about this material....

Happy New Years

 Happy New Years from Miss Ava. As some of you don't know, this is our GD. She is just one happy happy little girl. This was her new chair from her GF. Isn't this just the cutest little chair? She loves it...

  here's her tree...I plan on using her art work that she makes at school every year for the decorations. This year was her first year so there weren't many. I'm hoping that they do some sort of photo ornament every year...how cool would that be once she gets older? 

 kicking back ....ohhhh-- the life...lol....

Here's a card I made using the adorable Edwin ... I made the flower out of the Foamiron that you can get from Magnolia-licious. That stuff is addicting to play with. This was only my second flower, but it is some pretty cool stuff. 

 pattern paper from Lemon Craft-- Yuletide

 added a sentiment to the inside with some stamped images....

 here's another card I made using some vintage product...lol...had a lot of fun playing....I have always loved this snowman and finally got around to coloring it up....

 

 inside sentiment...

 here's a just because card....here I used some more foamiron from Magnolia-licious ....used some of those dollar stamps that never seen ink before and added some jingles.....

I really loved this paper from Lemon Craft--daydream....

Well that's all I have for tonight...I wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year....I'll be sharing some pretty exciting news coming up soon......Hugs from a very wet Charm City...

Love Notes Challenge @ Simon Says Stamp Moday Challenge

Happy Thursday Blogland...today I have a dozen roses, a box of candy and a card all rolled up into a vase..I made this for the challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge....ENJOY!!!!

 

 

ok, so I know this is way out in left field...I made this for DH..Our very first date was on Valentine's Day 18 years ago....so this year I wanted to make him something out of the ordinary ...I made a dozen roses (Recollections),  there's a box of chocolates (Card Connection) and a card stuffed inside a vase (upside down party hat) glued to an empty ribbon roll...and wa-la, Valentine's Day present rolled up into one...lol...and I'm actually thinking about sending this down to his work place...lol...now wouldn't he be the talk of the place....so what do you think? Is it to frilly for a guy?

just a close-up

***

PSX rubber stamps--Tm Holtz distress inks, metal numbers, book plate, door handle,mirror paper--Recollections paper flowers--Card Connection box of chocolates--Dymo label er--Darice paper doilies (used vintage photo- trimmed the centers out and glued to the backsides of the roses)--I also used red velvet paper for the heart inside and out. ..just another way to add another form of texture..

 

here's the card opened...notice key charm hanging from the Tim Holtz frame holder..I closed the gap to hold it in so that when the card is opened(it hangs on inside) and closed (it drops down as an added embellie on outside) Oh how I love two-fers...lol......

 

just a close-up of keys hanging down the skewer

backside...I added a punched heart that I sprayed with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist..I still need to figure out something for this side...it just looks unfinished...I glued feather and silver trim around the edges o the vase and spool...

I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to change the colors of the flowers from pink to Candy Apple Red with a touch of gold in there...

here's what they looked like after I hit them with the heat gun..I over dried to kind of scorch the paper and age them more...

I did 6 white flowers with Vintage photo...I wanted a contrast to the red...I also used it on the leaves...and Distress Stain for the skewers...

I used a Prisma pencil with Gamsol for he stamps..went over lightly with vintage photo and added a layer of Stickles...

*******
