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.
