A Tea Light Lamp

Yes, Merry Christmas to YOU!

My Christmas was awesome,
because I was with part of my family
(and will be with more next week)

and with my guy, John.  He proposed to

me, on Christmas day, and I said YES!!

I'm sharing a Tea Light Lamp and card

that I created for a recent class at my LSS
Memories of Time.

The lamp was created using some gorgeous

papers from my favorite company,

Graphic 45, and it's called "Twelve Days of Christmas."

The lamp itself was created using a cutting file

from SVG Cuts, called

Maison de Madeline Collection.

Valentine Matchbox and Card Set

Valentine's Day is just around the corner

so I thought I'd design a sweet little 

treat or trinket box

and make a card to go along

with it.

*please click to enlarge photos*

The box is 3 1/4" square and has an ornately edged,

and ribbon wrapped, belly band around it.

Placed on top of the belly band is a

handmade paper rose, which

has been sprayed with Pearl Glimmer Mist

and a few scattered, tiny "dew drops"

were added with Glossy Accents.

I used an Our Craft Lounge

Stamp set called "Notes of Love"

to create the card which is 3" square and islayered with DP and Glitter Cardstock.

I stamped two of the heart images, then embossed

one of them with black embossing powder.

The second image was colored with Copic Markers,

then fussy cut and glued over the first image.

Red rhinestones were placed on

the image for added bling.

The inside on the card,

and the 3 1/4" square envie,

were stamped with other stamps from the set.

Cardstock used:

Bazzill Red

DP used:

on her face and the way her dress sweeps

to the side.  I think she's so sweet!!

Sent with so much love...

Hello!  I have a new card to share with you.

This digital image was drawn by Krista Smith

from Saturated Canary,

and is called "Hand Me Downs."

I love her sweet little dress and socks!

So adorable!!

I, also, added a cute little image

of bird carrying a letter.

I'm sorry, but at the moment I cannot

remember where it is from.

* click to enlarge *

The papers I used to create this card, were perfect, I think,

as there was a vintage bird cage imprinted on them.

So, I cut out the cage and layered it on the card

with dimensional dots.  I did the same with the

bird in flight.
