Love... is sharing!

All Dressed Up have some wonderful new images

over in their shop today.

And some fabulous inspiration from my DT sisters over on the

All Dressed Up blog.

 

I got to use this adorable new image for my latest project.

Love... is sharing

Isn't it precious??

 

 

I went with a shabby chic look.

I used some Michelle Roo's digital paper

 A pretty doily die, some pretty flowers, a lace bow, frontage, and liquid pearls.

 

I hope you will check out the new stamps at All Dressed Up

Magical Whimsie

I hope everyone is having a fabulous day!!

l want to share a new tag I made using one of

Lacy Sunshine's whimsie images.

Jada Amphibia Briar Whimsie

Cute, huh?

 

 

 

I tried to make it magical.

I used my Twinkle H2O's for my background colors.

From light blue to purple.

I added some purple glitter to her dress, and some frontage around her.

I used Liquid pearls for my pearls.

I added some pretty fibers to my water, along with some glitter,

and Twinkle H2O's for a little shimmer.

I used some Tim Holtz Brass stain around the edges.

I added a gold die cut, with the word Magical on it for a little extra color.

 

I hope you'll check out all the images at Lacy Sunshine.

And maybe join in the fun of one of Lacy Sunshine's challenges.

 

Valentine's Day Gold

Happy Sunday!!

Hope everyone is doing wonderful today.

It is pretty cold here, so I am all bundled up and crafting.

What better way to spend the day?

 

I'd like to share my latest Lacy Sunshine project today.

I made a Valentine's Day card for my husband.

 

I used this wonderful image called Egyptian Princess of Love Enchantress.

 

 

 

Since my name is Holly, I recycled a pretty gold and white Christmas card

with a "holly" border.  I thought that seemed appropriate for my

husband's Valentine's Day card.

 

I added some simple pearls around the inner square, and outside corners.

I added a pretty gold heart, gold bow, and white roses dipped in gold glitter.

I also added some glitter to the image for some extra sparkle.

 

Hope you'll join us for our current challenge!



Tim Holtz Chalkboard Tag

I wanted to share my take on the new January 2016 Tim Holtz tag challenge 
Technique Remix.

 

A combination of chalkboard and metal.

I just love it!

 

 

Since I love pictures, I went with this camera stamp,

 and the travel embossing folder.

Love this method by Tim Holtz.

 



All Dressed Up for a Birthday

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Ok, I know I'm a little late with the well wishes,

 but it has been a crazy start to the 2016 year.

 

I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas season.

We did, and we are ready to tackle what comes in the new year.

 

For my first post this year, I want to share a birthday card

that I made for my Mother's recent birthday.

(Happy Birthday again Mom!)

 

We have our first challenge of the New Year starting

over at All Dressed Up.  I hope you will join us.

 

For my card, I use All Dressed Up's Christmas Present stamp.

 

 

I used a great Spellbinders die to frame this lovely design with.

I added some pretty flowers and a bow.

And of course I had to add glitter!

 

I hope that you will take a minute to check out the All Dressed Up

Design Team's other projects.  They are just incredible!

Cowgirl Pink!

I want to share some my latest tag today.

I started the New Year out right using my favorite All Dressed Up stamp

Country Cow Girl.  I made this for my DT project for the

All Dressed Up Facebook Challenge.

The theme this month is PINK.

 

 

 

Isn't she just a beautiful stamp??

I used Carta Bella Giddy Up Girl papers and embellishments.

I added my favorite lace, some twine, some pearls and a pretty border die.

And of course, I needed glitter!  So I added some glitter to my tank top.

Ready for Christmas Dinner

I am so excited to share my latest project with this adorable

Lacy Sunshine image.

 

I needed a napkin holder for Christmas dinner

and this Lacy Sunshine Eleanor & Pickles Nutcracker image was just perfect!

I found this napkin holder at the local Thrift Store.

I do love a bargain!

 

So I went from this to...

 

THIS! 

 

I started by spray painting my metal napkin holder black.

I layered red, black and white papers.

I also added a Tim Holtz Nutcracker, and a Holly die.

I also added Glossy Accents to her glasses for a more realistic effect.

Lastly I covered the whole design with Modge Podge.

 

Now I'm ready for Christmas dinner!

 

  

 

Hope you will check out the current challenge at the Lacy Sunshine Blog

and all the great inspiration from the other Design Team members.

All Dressed Up for Ice Skating!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

It is sooooo cold here, and I am not ready for winter to come.

But, I am soooo ready for Christmas!!

 

Today I wanted to share a card I made to celebrate winter.

I used Little Skater from All Dressed Up stamps for my focal point.

 

 

Isn't she just the cutest Little Skater??

I added some snowflake cutouts, snowflake die, ice skates die, and a deer die.

I also added some cheesecloth to the background to add a little dimension.

And of course I needed more glitter, so I added glitter to all the

snowflakes on the paper!!

Because of course, there wasn't enough glitter in the ice skates or snowflakes.
