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.

You should have come from the Spectacular

Rhonda's Blog if you didn't be sure you started from the beginning!

Now here is the pic of my project

Look at all of those beautiful Pinque Peacock Blooms.

Love those little layered garden beauties and one of my favorite blooms the Fabric Splendid Swirls I tossed on a few Prima blooms as accents. The base is a hot pink cardstock and the striped paper I tore at angles just to give it a little color :) I can't tell you which brand of papers they are because it came from my hoarded paper stock!!! If you are a paper crafter I bet you have done a little hoarding!!

I love that little chalkboard too! I used a chalk marker to write the love blooms title. These are older photos of my fav people in the whole world! My hubby, daughter, son in law and my 2 grandaughters. They are older now and we have a new grandson! You will see his cute little face in future layouts!

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!!!!
