I Found The One!


Hello and happy Thursday stamping friends. Today I am coning to you with a little different Wedding/Anniversary card. For my card today I have used the sets Love Scriptures and Banner Sentiments and the coordinating dies Birdcage and banners from the July Release by Our Daily Bread Designs. For those that have been following me for a while know that I am totally addicted, yes, I've said it, LOL, to paper! One of my favorite pads for the last couple of months has been Prima Lyric, it has the most beautiful colors in it and most certainly meets the criteria of being absolutely perfect for shabby chic projects. Here is my card so you can see for yourself

Heaven's Masterpiece


Hello and good Tuesday morning! Today I am coming to you to share a tag with you that I have made using one of the fabulous silhouette stamps from North Coast Creations called Heaven's Masterpiece. I don't now about you, but I think that silhouette stamps are just amazing and perfect for just about any occasion. For my tag I started with a piece of medium weight chipboard and covered it with some amazing paper from the Prima pad Romance Novel. And after adding some lace, flowers, pearl flourish and some pretty recycled jewelry and a handmade stickpin this is what my chipboard looked like!
