Live and Love Crafts DT Card - New Pion Release

Hello all you lovely people around the world, how are you all? I'm here today with my DT Card for Live & Love Crafts.

Well us DT girlies have the most fabulous theme this week.........we have to use the new Pion papers!!! OMG if you do not have these papers yet, then seriously get them. You can see how gorgeous they are on screen right...........well let me tell you in real life........well in real life lets just say mine got stroked A LOT!!! They are much prettier IRL. I even went on yesterday & ordered the full collection, even though I had some in my DT package, Sandy even said 'Are you sure you want more papers?'......I need lots of this one....I never want to be without it. Ok I'm gonna hush my buttons & get on & show you what I made lol.

See I told you these papers were totally delicious & I lurve the name of them 'My Precious Daughter' & all in my favourite colour :0) Argh heaven.............

The image is also from the same collection & is on the sheet 'Images 12x12'. Isn't she so pretty!!

I added a White Canvas Corp Mini Paper bag & attached 2 lots of yummy lace/trim. I added Shabby Pearl Rose & Maya Road Crochet Trim.

This is the inside of the card, I added a large tag from the collection for somewhere put your message & I also added a smaller image the same as the one on the front. I love what it says on the bottom right corner..........
I also cut out a smaller tag & added a small sentiment to it which again is from the same Pion Collection. From the scraps of the second layer I made 2 little scrolls which are by the Shabby Bark Heart. 
The gorgeous purple seam binding is from my stash, although here its looking a tad blue..........its gorgeous & purple IRL let me assure you lol.

All papers have been machine stitched & card, images & tags have been distressed slightly & inked with Pumice Stone.

TBH the photo's really dont do this justice which I'm gutted about, IRL its so much prettier. I'm actually happy with it, which believe me does not happen very often lol.

Ok I'm off now, actually this is scheduled & I'm already off lol, its my grandsons 1st birthday today. Yes Arjay is 1 year old, can you believe it was a year ago today when I delivered this gorgeous little boy on my driveway early hours in the morning, at just 29 weeks gestation. He's had a tough first year but boy has he done so well. He's spent more than half his life in a brace & cast for his hips so he still can not sit unaided or crawl yet but he has the most gorgeous smile. He also moves around that floor from rolling over constantly lol. He's just awesome & we are all so so proud of our little fighter Arjay.
Here's a pic I took friday night after his bath when the grandkids stayed at mine.
Isn't he adorable, mmwah loves ya loads our little Arjay xxx

Live and Love Crafts DT Canvas - Viva Forever

Hi everyone Im back again with my DT creation for Live & Love Crafts.
Ok so the theme for this week for us DT girls is Spice Girls...........yep a strange one I know. Basically we have to create something that has something to do with Spice Girls. I went with a song they did, its called Viva Forever & I took a few words from that song & made a canvas for my daughter's bedroom..........which is shabby chic, or it will be soon when its done lol.
The pics are not great it was hard to take photo's but I will try to get better ones today. Also there are a few lol.
Now I had no plan, no layout........tbh I had nothing in mind when I did this except the words & it was for my daughter. I basically hoped it would turn out alright lol.

The large letters are form my stash & I covered them with SnowTex mixed with a few drops of Tattered Rose distress ink, it was like pink frosting lol. Once it was dry I then added bits of Gesso.
For those who dont know the song the words are taken from the chorus............
Viva forever, I'll be waiting, 
Everlasting like the sun, 
Live forever, for the moment, 
Ever searching for the one. 
My daughter is the strongest lady I know, she has been through so much in her 22 years & yet still is able to smile like this in the picture below. She is amazing, this is a reminder to live for the moment..............maybe more of a reminder to us.

Isn't she gorgeous. I've added a strip from a Maja Design paper saying 'I Love You'. I printed another photo of Natalie smalled & glued it to a Glass Pebble & then attached that to a clip slide from my stash to attach to the strip. Underneath is 'Cheese Cloth' & 2 Doilies.

This is one of the gorgeous Prima Resin Angels, I love these...........I think they are totally perfect for Natalie ;0) Of course I've added Gesso here, there & EVERYWHERE lol, you can also see more of the snowtex ;0)
The sticker is Prima from my stash. The small clock is a Marianne die & I've added 'Spinners' as clock hands. The little vial bottle is from my stash & I've added tiny micro beads inside.

I stamped 'Made With Love' using the new Stempelglede 'Just A Note' stamp set. I also added a Prima Junkyard Zipper, this one says 'Precious' on.


The sentiment I did with my  Dynamo thingy.

I've used 2 Maja papers from the Sofiero collection & I added Gesso all over the papers to soften them. Of course added lots of flowers & other foofy bits ;0)

All links to items used are below.
Thank you so much for stopping by, hope I've inspired you just a little.
Squishy hugs Vicky xxxxxxxxxxxx
