Life is a Journey

Hi everyone! It is my day to post on the

  Pinque Peacock Challenge Blog! as well as the
Design Blog

I have decided to do a birthday card for a very special person in my life.

Here it is :)

I started with a standard heavy weight card stock and scored it so I could create the easel.

Then cut and added some print card stock from Prima and it is called free spirit.

I love the colors and prints.

Then I pulled out my Pinque Peacock Flower and pin stash. I found the perfect flower from Pinque Peacock and it is a Fabric Splendid Swirl with a center embellishment. It just went perfect with the papers.

The beautiful Pin is Pinque Peacock too of course!! It is one of the beaded stick pins. Now I don't know if Jessica can still create that exact one but she has beautiful beads and can create one of your choice!!!

All of the resin cameos and other embellishments are from Websters Pages. The trim is unknown.

I also used a piece of a doily, a cats eye ink pad and 2 wood banners. All unknown.

Life is definitely a journey and I hope you all have a fabulous one.

Imagine with Pinque Peacock

Hello it is my day to post for Pinque Peacock. I will be posting on the Design Blog

 and on the Challenge Blog!! The challenge this month is anything goes!!

I decided to pull out a a chip board decorative bird house and give it a shot! So here is the first pic

I used a few great Pinque Peacock items on this project as well as a lot of paint, paper. and modge podge!

It was one hot mess that overflowed from the craft room to the kitchen! Oh we can't forget that beautiful 

3 Girl Jam Ribbon.

Here are a few close ups of the fabulous Pinque Peacock items!

I used a large fabric covered button in a purple print. A beautiful Pink Pearl Stick Pin,

A Fabric Splendid Swirl and this one is from the cute baby collection that Jessica made!

I also used a beautiful Yellow Pleated Petal.

Here is a close up of the top.

I love the beauty in nature so this project was a pleasure to do. It is so easy to incorporate the amazing Pinque Peacock products into my projects

Come and join the Anything Goes Challenge!!!!

Crafty Happiness!

Hello fellow crafters :)

I have been trying to branch out of my crafting comfort zone and this is another one of my firsts.

I decided to make a shadow box of my favorite crafty embellishments.

 

 

Now for the life of me I could not get the yellow cast off of the photo. My lighting is bad in my apartment and the weather is not good for an outdoor pic.

I started with a craft colored shadow box and painted it brown. I then used a prima cardstock and placed it in the back of the squares. I then used burlap and placed it over the cardstock.

Next in the upper left square I used 2 metal corners from Miriams Crafting supplies. I then took a beautiful Stick Pin from Pinque Peacock and turned it into a dragonfly using my favorite twine. (Trendy Twine). Now in the upper right square I used a wishing well from Prima. My grass is ribbon from 3 Girl JAM and the cute cardinal  is from a purchase from Blitzy.

The lower left is a beautiful bloom from Pinque Peacock. I then added a burlap button and butterfly pin and both are Pinque Peacock! The lower right is all prima and websters pages.

These are all things that make me happy:)

I love watching dragonflies, butterflies and birds. I love the old fashioned wells and have always wanted one. I love flowers of all kinds and Pinque Peacock is a joy to work with. The cameo holds my favorite saying. Now to get some of the beautiful flowers, buttons and stick pens head over to pinque peacock!!!!

Now before we get to the prize and how you can win it here is a pic of my Easter Card!

 I decided to do a Easter easel card. I started with a robins egg blue card stock in standard 8.5 by11 and folded it in half. Then you fold the top in half again. I always lay the card back down after folding into the standard half fold to embellish. You want it to look good laying down as well as in the easel position. I then cut a scalloped oval in hot pink and embossed it. When you adhere the oval you want to only glue the lower half down so that it can pop up in the easel position. Next I did an Easter cut with my cameo of that adorable bunny. I used pop dots to fasten it to the oval. Next I used 2 wooden eggs that were put out by Prima a few years ago. I know all the stampers will cringe about this but I used Spectrum Noir markers to color the eggs then added some shimmer glitter and let that dry. After it dried I then gave the eggs a coat of modge podge and allowed that to air dry. I then used left over pieces of card stock to adhere to the back side of the eggs. The Spectrum Noir Markers are available at Pinque Peacock. All products from Pinque Peacock will be linked to the location on the Pinque Peacock Store Page for your shopping convenience :)

I also added 2 cute butterfly beads to the oval. Before attaching the eggs I made paper corners and attached those to the lower 2 corners. Now after the top was finished and dry I got to work on the inside. All the papers are from a doodlebug designs 6x6 pad called Hello Spring. I started the inside by attaching the paper just like it was a half fold card. The only difference is the greeting is at the bottom of the page instead of the standard top position. I then added the beautiful blue Fabric Splendid Swirl as an eye catching anchor to hold the easel in place. The adorable

 blue butterfly stick pin is also from Pinque Peacock. Well there is the low down on my Easter card:) Next you will be going to Julie's Blog

Now before we get to the Great hop prize here is the picture of my Hop project!

I chose to do a wedding layout that is just waiting for my nieces wedding picture.
I of course started with my Pinque Peacock!!!

 We have 2 Fabric Splendid Swirls one in Black with the red polka dots and 1 pure white! Then we have that cute polka dot fabric Covered Button and then we pull it all together with a fabulous
Beaded Stick Pin. Now who couldn't build a project around all of this fabulous product!!!
Then I found this great wedding dress print and cut from Jessica weible illustrations. It was a freebie but is still available on her site!! The trims I used are loose trims I had on hand and I have no idea which companies they may be from. The small roses and the flourish are Prima. The ribbon around the waist of the gown is 3 girl jam. The 3 girl jam ribbon is so easy to work with I love it!
I embossed the gown and photo mat with a Cricut Cuttle Bug Folder it is a Anna Griffin design that is called Poppy. It is a large folder and I love it. I inked the edges of the gown with a black ink pad then again in silver. Now this is our little secret because I told the Queen Peacock that no stickles were involved... totally forgot I used it on the hanger... What can I say there has to be a crazy stickles girl in every group right :)
