  • Fancy Heart Rosettes!

    Hey, hey, hey my loves! Good greetings on this fine Wednesday! It's humpday and the week is flying by! We had one heckofa storm! But the sun came back out and yesterday was the most magnificent day!! One week until Valentine's Day and I still have a bunch of stuff to share with you before we get there! Hee hee. I really had fun creating for VD this year! Did you get into the spirit this year too? Our house has some fun decorations and I managed a couple of cross stitch pieces, and of course, lots of cards. It's been a lovely February so far! Tomorrow night I'm going to a fun Galentine's Event and I can't wait!!  Hope you're doing great! I'm here to inspire you to create today!

    Today's project is a quick and easy project I did to make some decorations for our entry way table. I again used a bunch of pretty papers and embellishments from my stash. (I'm proud of myself for using everything – ha!) I used craft dies from Alexandra Renke – Heart Rosette Dies. I didn't link to any supplies in this post because all the papers, etc are old and the dies are only available from Alexandra Renke website! To make the rosettes it's two pieces glued together and then the heart center. SO fun and cute! I have these in a little basket and they are very cheery. Remember to make things for yourself and your home too! It makes me smile to see them. These would also be fun to tie on a present or make into a banner. If you don't have heart rosette dies, you can make round rosettes and they would be just as fun!!

    Hmmmm, how old are those stickers??? Who knows!? Ha. But they sure are cute. Probably why I've saved them for so many years. Can anyone relate??

  • Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2023! Projects with Anna Griffin and a special birthday today!

    Hello lads and lasses!! Top O' The Morning to You! Happy St. Patrick's Day 2023! And happy Friday! I hope you're wearing your green outfits today! I'm just home in my sweatpants – lol. I do miss working in an office on festive days like this – and dressing up and having treats! I hope you have many blessings today!

    "May good luck be with you Wherever you go, and your blessings outnumber the shamrocks that grow. May your days be many and your troubles be few, May all God's blessings descend upon you, May peace be within you, May your heart be strong, May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam." – Irish Blessing. 

    Well, before I share a TON of project photos, I must acknowledge a special birthday in our family! Today is Lucky's 5th Birthday! My boo boo kitty is already five years old! How did that happen?! Here's my post announcing his arrival! Well, Lucky has the most beautiful big green eyes and he was born on St. Patrick's Day, and we are very lucky to have him! That's how he came to be named Lucky!! He is the bestest boy and brings us so much joy. So, Happy Birthday Lucky!! I got him to post for a birthday portrait….

    My projects for today are numerous! LOL. I bought some pretty Anna Griffin kits and supplies and used them to make five cards and five rosettes! I used the vellum toppers and some flowers from another kit to make all my things. Anna Griffin is sold on her website or on HSN. I usually buy directly from the Anna Griffin website as they have good shipping! Grab a cuppa (or an Irish Whiskey!) and spend some time with me! XO

    I'll show you my cards first…. All the cards are 5×7 (A7) size because that is the size that the Anna Griffin Papers are made for. I usually just use some cream or white cardstock and make my own folded 5×7 card bases. I mixed and matched all kinds of fun elements for each card. So many good things: shamrocks, and horseshoes, and flowers, and even a leprechaun!!!  And, like I do, I added gold and/or white paint splatters, gems and glitter glue in clear and gold… I think it's really fun to customize and make things my own…. I'm not going to write a lot here, I'll just share the photos….

    That's it for my five cards! I really have to tell you that these kits bring me such joy to put together… Most of the time I am having to really think and CREATE something usually with products never seen before. It is very nice to just sit and craft and not have to think so hard about it. That's why I love these beautiful elements and kits so much! I am so enamored with the vintage images too…

    Now here is a photo of all of my rosettes together!! I used strips of paper and my scor-pal to make the round ones. I used a die from Alexandra Renke to make the heart ones (Heart Rosette Die)…. I used papers from Doodlebug in different shades of greens to make the rosettes. Then, as with the cards, I enjoyed mixing and matching all the elements…
