Crafting with Melissa Frances...

Oh my goodness, I was able to play with some fabulous items by Melissa Frances from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store this week!! I just love the vintage feel to the products I used! My favorite style is Shabby Chic and the colors are so soft and pretty!

I created an adorable Bath sign with a coordinating tag! This was something I made for myself and it's proudly hanging on my bathroom door. The hangers from Melissa Frances are just perfectly sized for the Chipboard Labels and I can see all kinds of wall hangings in my future!

The Magic of Christmas

It's time for another fun challenge at the Shabby Tea Room! When I began my journey into papercrafting, I made vintage artist trading cards and I'm finding that I'm once again enjoying the process but in greeting card form now. 

The challenge this week is to use the photo below for inspiration and the requirements are: USE PINK, GOLD, NEUTRALS, FLOWERS and SNOWFLAKES!

and here is my creation:

My colors are Gold, White and  Rosy Pink. I used Lattice and Scalloped Rectangle Nestabilities, Liquid Pearls, Prima Roses, Stanpin' Up Snowflakes, Marianne Creatables Swirls, Tulle, Vintage Santa Image from my postcard collection, and designer paper from Kaisercraft. All my sparkle and shine is from Chunky Glass Glitter and Glitter paper by Doodlebug.

My card also fits the Pink Elephant TPE128 Challenge - Snowflakes and Sparkle.

Shabby Tea Room Challenge...

I'm playing in a new challenge by the Shabby Tea Room, and the theme is "Winter Picnic". Our challenge was to create a card using the photo inspiration below! My card uses fabulous stamps from JustRite Stamps: Vintage Label Ovals, Winter Words, and Hugs to You Borders and Centers.

and here is my creation:

JustRite Friday Challenge - Shabby Chic

I'd thought I'd play in the latest JustRite Friday Challenge this week, and I had a great time making "shabby chic" cards. I just love the vintage (yes, Robin, I said that word) style and the soft colors. My stamps for this card is JustRite Vintage Ovals Labels.
