You're My Cup of Tea

Happy Wednesday,

We are so excited this is our first challenge for 7 Kids College Fund as new owners. We have a fabulous design team so be sure to check out their creations.

Today I have created a fall card using paper from Prima Rossi Belle A4 Collection Kit and Rossi Belle Aubrey flowers. The center photo is from Joy Crafts Paper Bloc in Autumn Pictures ( I just love these images). For the leaves in my flower arrangement I chose a Sue Wilson die from the Festive Collection Filagree Poinsettia. This die is so versatile you can use it all year round for your creations. To embellish this sweet card I chose frontage, misc flowers, lace trim, and various die cuts.


So head on over and enter your cards or projects for a chance to win a $20.00 gift certificate.


See you there!

Anything Goes

Can you believe August is almost over? My sweet baby left last Friday for the Dominican Republic for about 4 months and then off to Panama. My house is too quiet. I miss seeing his precious face every morning.

Anything Goes but a Card

Happy Tuesday,

I haven't posted in quite some time. I have been spending most of my time with my grandson and his parents. They will be moving to the Dominican Republic for 4 months then onto Panama. I will miss them terribly. Thank goodness for technology. God has new plans for them as they begin their new life as missionaries.

Today I have created a shadow box using Scrapiniec Park Avenue Shadow Box from Noor Design. I chose Tilda on the beach. Most of the goodies I used for my design were in my July Crafteezee collection. I love the beautiful lace and Maja paper. I colored Tilda with Copic Markers and paper pieced her outfit. 

My favorite item is the pearl starfish. Need more of these. 

Ok, now let's see what you create.

Mixed Media Canvas

Happy Saturday,

What another gorgeous day in paradise. I started this canvas about 3 weeks ago and it has gone through several renditions before I was happy with the way it looked.

I painted the canvas with heavy black Gesso. Used molding pasted and Prima acrylic paint to create a portion of my background. Have you used the Prima foils yet, you should try them. That is how I added that glitzy gold in the background. To take the edge off the black I sprayed my canvas with gold and white Prima spray. I chose Julie Nutting's Ruby for my design, I paper pieced her and some beautiful jewelry, she has sparkly tights and shiny shoes. I chose her paper Belle Vie (just love this paper). The butterflies were cut from a Cheery Lynn Butterfly dies. I used Prima flowers, metals and stickers.

Happy Friday

It is a beautiful day here in Florida. Sunny, warm and I can hear the birds chirping.

Next week I see my grandson for his 1st birthday. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. Then a couple weeks after that they move in for about 4 months. It will be great to spend all that time with them. However, I will be very sad when they leave. But with visiting and technology I can see him just about anytime I want.

I would like to share a card to day that I made for a very special person. I used Pion paper my Precious Daughter and Paris Flea Market. I can't wait to get the new collection Scents of Lavender.  I chose die cuts from Little Darlings, Memory Box, Cheery Lynn and Magnolia Doohickey.  The flowers are from Kort & Godt, WOC, Pomegranate berries from LLC and Prima. I added some lace, thin strand of pearls around the photo and some tulle. The beautiful stick pin was made by my friend Sandy while she was visiting.

A close up of the card:
