Hello everyone, I'm here with my first post of the day to show you what is behind window number 5 at Live and Live Crafts

Today's prize is Gnome Couple from Vilda Stamps, aren't these just the cutest? They can be used separately, or together, I've masked them on this card just to get them right next to each other.

I've coloured them with my distress markers, and added glamour dust to the heart on her dress for sparkle, and there's gold stickles on the flowers for more sparkle. The papers are from the It's Christmas Time 6 x 6 Paper Pad from Maja Design, the edges have been distressed with Walnut Stain.

I've used some of the gorgeous golden Magnolia Vintage Berries that Sandy has just got in. There's also cream rolled roses, cream chrysanthemums, a  brown Magnolia Shabby Chic Tulle Rose and also a rose with glass pearls.

I've used Camille lace across the middle and cream roses organza trim along the bottom.

I'll be back in a bit with another card.

Good Friends Are Like Stars

Hi everyone, a little something unBecky like from me. When I got this sentiment sheet from Vilda Stamps, I instantly liked this sentiment, but thought it was too big to go with an image, and then I had a lightbulb moment, do a card with out an image. When I'd calmed down after this thought as I make cards as I colour images in it was a step way out of the box for me, I thought it might just work, please let me know what you think.

It is such a true sentiment, but unlike stars friends come out and shine when you need them too, this year I have needed my friends to be there for me, but only when I've wanted them to, and even with everything happening in their lives they have been. This is not just my friends that I've had for longer than I want to remember, but I'm also lucky to work with some lovely people I count as friends and also my lovely blogging friends that I know are only a message away.

I'm actually really pleased with it this card, but I'm definitely an image girl, so there won't be too many of these, lol. I've used Kit 4 English Texts (V693), stamped it onto Langton Hot Press paper, and when I'd used my nestie to cut it out I used some distress ink. The papers are from Maja Design, again. It was a pad I was in two minds to get.

I've used some brown corrugated cardboard, and distressed it a tad and I've also added some cheesecloth too. The cream guipure and the pom pom trim are from my stash. The roses and cherry blossoms are from WOC. The coffee brown rolled roses and the Cream Chrysanths are form the Ribbon Girl as are the self adhesive pearls. The Orange Prima Kennedy Antique Flower is from Live and Love Crafts.

I'm entering this card into the 'Sentiment' only challenge at My Mums Craft Shop.

Pop back later today as I have some super exciting news that I've been dying to share for a while.

Hugs,

Books And Friends At Vilda Stamps

Hi everyone, it's the 10th of the month so it's my turn over at Vilda Stamps.

This month I've chosen to make a card with Vilda Stamps V427 Book Rat and paired him up with V493 'Books and friends should be few and well chosen!', don't they go well together. I've coloured him in with my distress markers.

The papers are from Maja Design, the rolled Kort and Godt roses are from here.

Here's my arty shot.

And a close up, this is a CAS card for me. I was placing more flowers on, but it didn't look right, so I decided to go with what looked ok, lol.

It's The Little Things That Matter Most

Hi my lovelies, today I've got a card to share with you made for Vilda Stamps. When I got my kit through I drooled over the stamps, I wanted to use this one last time, but my kids chose one each, William picked this and Grace picked the last one, after putting them behind my back and then choosing a hand this one was second. I was miffed, but I knew I'd get to colour it in soon anyway.

Doesn't this look like bliss?? The lady in the bath is available from Vilda Stamps and is stamp V12, the sentiment is from there too Ca A5 Theme: English lyrics KIT 4 (V693). I think these two go together perfectly.

I've coloured the image in with my distress markers, adding glamour dust and glossy accents. I've also used Pink Velvet Lace.

The papers are from Magnolia and I've used a Tim Holtz on the edge die to shape the edge. The roses and pearls are from Kort and Godt, so are the Chrysanths which are available here. I've also used some white poppies and a beaded centre.

Hope you're all OK? As you know it's my birthday tomorrow, check out my birthday candy here, so tonight I am going to be treating myself to this. A nice hot bubble bath, cold glass of pink wine, music on and most importantly the bathroom door locked so I can actually have some peace for a while. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids to bits, but....................

Fiona For Vilda Stamps

Hi everyone, another busy day from me today, once again I've got three posts for you. A few weeks ago I got a message from Milo asking me if I wanted to join the team at Vilda Stamps and I said yes, of course. The stamps are amazing, there is such an array of styles and I love them all. Here is the first card I created for the blog.

When my DT kit came I was totally spoiled for choice, so I let the kids pick, Grace chose Fiona (V65) and William chose the stamp for my next one. I've coloured her in with my distress markers and limited edition pad.

The papers are from Prima and I've distressed the edges with Walnut Stain. I've used pleated cruch organza and pearls from The Ribbon Girl. I've used a mix of flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts, Kort og |Godt with the Roses With Glass Pearls are available here. 

I'll be back again at 10am, blogger permitting as I've scheduled my posts.

Hugs,

Becky x
