Dreams

What a long blogging break I've been on! I expect it will continue for a bit longer. We did find a house to buy and we will close and move into it in mid-July. In the meantime, I have been busy packing up our house and getting everything ready to move.

I wanted to finally share a project I made for Mother's Day. I made three variations of this layout (for me, my mom, and my sister) that features a sweet photo of Lily Munchkin sound asleep.

I used beautiful patterned paper from Sassafras and embellished with all sorts of bits and bobs.

I added Maya Road chipboard wings that I coated in glossy white enamel paint from Ranger.

She looks so sweet and angelic. Lily Munchkin couldn't understand why she had wings, so she was told "because she didn't have horns to put on you instead!" :)
 

Snowfall

My Christmas cards have been mailed! Here is this year's design.

I started with the silver fabric and layered it with white cardstock that I embossed using Tim Holtz Alterations - Snow Flurries texture fade. Then I added a sweet vintage image that I embellished with sparkling snow. The snow flake stamps and dies are from Papertrey Ink. I embossed the snow flakes, some with silver embossing powder and some with clear, to give the card even more sparkle.

I do have a few extra cards, available for sale in my etsy shop.
