Serenity prayer card.

Hi there everyone. 

I have a card to share with you. This is one of my favorite quotes/prayers. 



I used the Prima nature Garden paper. I layered a couple pattern papers together. I used my lacey circle nestabilities die and the Verve Occasions frame die. I layered them together and I stamped the leaves in Prima chalk ink and the prayer in Stazon ink. I added some lace from The Piece by Piece and some seam binding I inked up with the Prima chalk ink in pastel brown. I added a little prima flower to finish off the card. 

Here is some more pictures of the card.

Thinking of You

Hello there. 
It has been a while since I have done a blog post. I apologize. I have been on vacation, and just enjoying the summer. 



Today I have a card to share. I used the Bo Bunny Little Miss collection. I used the 6x6 paper pad. I used the Vintage oval die from Verve Stamps. I stamped my sentiment on the die cut. The stamp I used is from the Kind Words stamp set. I also used the floral stamp from the stamp set as well. I used some ribbon and lace from The Piece by Piece. I finished the card off with a cute Kaisercraft flower. 

Here is another picture.

Altered stackable boxes

Hi everyone. 

I have a project to share with you for The Piece by Piece



I got these paper mache boxes a while ago. I finally had the inspiration to alter them. It was so much fun. I used the Pink Paislee Hope Chest paper collection. I covered all the boxes inside and out with the paper. I then used a Blue Fern Studios flourish that I sprayed with LSG Jack Frost. The frame is from Manor House Creations. The doily is a die cut. I used a journal piece from the Pink Paislee collection and I stamped a quote from Verve Stamps. I added some Petaloo flowers and some butterflies with pearls. I used all the lace and wrapped it around the boxes. 

Here are some more pictures 




Here is a supply list. 

French guipure lace (color temperarily sold out)
