Deep Ocean Challenge DT Card - Bingo

Helloooo everyone, how are you all? I'm running a wee bit late with my post tonight. Its been one of those days where I've not sat down all day barely.......this is the first time my laptop has even been switched on today.

Ok enough babbling from let me tell you about the new challenge over at Deep Ocean this fortnight & its a fab one.........
Let's play some BINGOOOOOO...
........you can use any row or embellishements or any row of colours.........up to you. Important rule though is have fun ;-)
I went with the whole board of embellishments.........well it is me lol.
I have a couple of birthdays next month & the first one is my gorgeous daughter Natalie's on the 6th, I cant believe she will be 23. So this is off me & her dad, the 'Daughter' sentiment is from LOTV.

The doilies either side are from a La La Land Crafts 'Heart Doily Border' die, I've also used the 'Heart Banner' die, I layered it up & added letters from a Pion Sheet spelling out 'Love'.

Here is a piccy of the tag. I used a Magnolia Doo-Hickey 'So Wrapped Lovely' die. Added a Metal Coathanger charm, a scrap of lace, some Prima Vax Cord & some 'Shabby Seam Binding' both from LLC. The pearl centre is from my stash.

The image is a digi image called 'Ladybug Marci' from La La Land Crafts & I coloured her with distress ink markers & refills. The spots on her boots & shell & her antenna & hair ribbons I covered with Stardust Stickles.
Colours used are...
Tattered Rose, Vintage Photo - Skin
Worn Lipstick - Cheeks
Antique Linen, Walnut Stain - Hair
Pumice Stone, Victorian Velvet - Clothes, boots, ribbon & shell.
I added pearl dots for buttons using a pearl pen. I fussy cut her out & placed her on foam pads & onto a Marianne Design die.

The idea for a pink ladybug I got from the lovely talented Tamara. Thanks for the inspiration sweetie ;-)
I have a few La La Land images coloured up, they just need cards lol, although one is already on a card what I made a while ago.

The bottom PInk Lace is from my stash & the top lace is 'Lace Adelaide' from LLC. The paper I've used is Fitsy Editions 'The Promise' 8x8, I inked the edges with Pumice Stone & machine stitched all around them. The shape of the card I made using an XXL Spellbinder die.
 Most of the flowers are form LLC & the other dies I've used are from Noor Design UK, 0370 - Ladybird Edge Die, 0163 - Swirl Leaf die & 0390 - Butterflies die.

Please pop on over to see my uber talented teamies creations, they are stunning!!

Thank you for stopping by my lovelies. Take care.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx

From Me To You With Love

Hello everyone, how are you all. Well my kitchen is nearly done, its just a few finsihing touches then I need decorate...... I HATE painting ceilings so any offers??? Lots of tea/coffee & I will bake cakes & biscuits to your hearts content ;-) I have to say we are quite proud as we have done everything ourselves, designing building, retiling........the whole thing.

Anyhoo's I'm babbling again, I thought today I would share a card I made just for fun......well it started off for a DT but I didnt finish it in time & that was about 2 months ago lol. Well I had a wee bit of time last night so I put the finishing touches to it & thought I would show you.
I did the base of the card by using lots of layers, distressing, inking & just making it all..........well shabby lol.
However I wasnt sure at the time what I was going to put on it & tbh if I did think of something I cant remember what it would have been lol.
I wanted keep it soft, shabby & in the colours of creams & greens..........not a colour scheme I use often. Although my nan loved Green, well a soft minty green.
So last night I went into my little hobbit & sat & looked at it..........all the lace was on, the stitching, the doily.....basically the whole base was done & it just needed a topping..........you know like the icing on the cake ;-)
I fiddled with vintage images but nothing seemed to spark anything.........so I thought why not just put flowers there in kinda a bouquet sorta thing.......... You know what I mean..........dont you??
Most of the flowers are from Live & Love Crafts & yes there are Pomegrantae Apples as well........no I dont need any kind of help for my addiction ;-)
The large one in the centre is covered with Glamour Dust so sparkles beautifully.

After I had finished I decided a couple of die-cuts would maybe look nice. So we have a Magnolia Doo-Hickey Butterfly with pearls in the centre. The Lantern Die is from Noor Design UK here.
There is also a Bark Heart in there with a heart shaped pearl on from my stash.

The sentiment is from LOTV 'Handwritten Phrases' set, I stamped it with cocoa memento onto some of the same paper & made a banner.
The scalloped pearls are from LLC. You can also see a Clay Heart in amongst the flowers which is also from LLC.

Of course inside is decorated to compliment the front.
The uber gorgeous papers I've used are Pion Vintage Wedding, I will try remember which ones I've used.... 'White Flowers 12x12', 'Roses 12x12' both sides, 'Wedding Bells 12x12', 'Images 12x12' the opposite side...........I think them are all the ones I've used lol. Lots of layers on this & 4 different types of lace as well as Cheese Cloth all from Live & Love Crafts.
The edging is done with my MS PATP set on Ivory card.

Well that's it from me lovelies, its lovely & sunny here & while I do have lots of gardening to do I really must carry on with this kitchen. Its lovely & clean now so that makes me soooooooo much happier lol. I spent all of sunday scrubbing & sorting as my family were coming for tea & well couldnt have them sitting in mess ;-)

Take care, thank you so much for stopping by it means a lot mmwah.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxx

Edited to add......I will be adding a For Sale page to my blog either today or tomorrow as I'm selling a lot of my crafty stuff as I'm downsizing. So keep your eye out peeps for a bargain or 2 ;-)

Live & Love Crafts DT Creation - A Paris Hanging

Hello everyone I'm here today with my DT for Live & Love Crafts & we have to make something that resembles Spring In Paris......
Well as I've never been out of the UK, I went on Pinterest for this one & tbh the most things I saw was Pink & Cherry Blossoms lol. However when I think of Paris the main thing I think of is 'LOVE' & so that's what this is about with bits of Paris thrown in...........I hope lol.
The love part is for my daughter, it's a Hanging for my daughter Natalie.
........well its certainly pink lol. I have of course used the super gorgeous Pion Paris Flea Market papers, this has got to be my favourite Pion collection. I used a Go-Kreate die to cut out the main shape, then matted it onto coorugated card which I also painted with Gesso.
Papers have been machine stitched.
I cut a Butterfly form one of the sheets & added a Tim Holtz Pen Nib to the centre.
Behind that I added a Heart Shaped Doily & also cut out a heart shape in corrugated card & again painted it with Gesso. There is also a Cheery Blossom there ;-)
So from a 6x6 sheet I cut out a small postcard & also a couple of stamps from a 12x12 sheet & attached them to more corrugated card in the shape of another heart........yep lots of hearts lol.
There is also a Cherub/Angel there........well it called for a Cherub/Angel lol. One of the postage stamps I cut out is a Fleur De Lys.........In french 'Fleur' means flower & 'Lis' means Lily.
I also thought I might as well attach a larger one lol. This is a chipboard one from my stash which I covered in gesso, shabby pink fran-tage & shabby white fran-tage. I also added a resin frame & placed another postage stamp inside that.......this one of course is of the eiffel tower........

Added lots of gorgeous flowers, Beaded Stamens & Pomegranate Apples which I lurve. I also added a pearl string in amongst the flowers.
I've used a Melissa Frances Hanger to hang it. The super gorgeous image is one of Pion's Flower Girls. I picked this one because she is so pretty like my daughter & also faintly at the bottom there is french writing.........I think anyway lol. 
Of course lots of lace & organza rose trim as well.

Well that's it from me hope you like my hanging.........tbh I'm not sure if I don yet so will see how I feel when her room is finished lol.

Take care & enjoy your weekend & thanks for stopping by.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxxx

Live & Love Crafts DT Card - Earth Day

Hello everyone,I'm here today with my DT card for Live & Love Crafts & this week Sandy set us DT girls the theme of Earth, as on 22nd April it was Earth Day
. Now I have been extremely busy this week & apart from my DT cards going on my blogs, some being scheduled I've not had the time for my laptop & internet.
So although I knew Becky used a certain stamp.........I've just seen Diana also used it lol. Well great minds think alike..........but in all honesty it was the perfect image to use for us Magnolia lovers & I dont have time to make another one I'm afraid.......

So here is again Earth Tilda..........however she does have a friend with her ;-)
I've used the gorgeous Maja Design 'Nyhavn Limited Edition', I've used a XXL Spellbinder die for the top layer. As always all papers have been stitched.

I've added 2 lots of beautiful lace, Sandy stocks the most gorgeous lace & I'm always stuck for choice to which one use.
I've also used a Magnolia Postage stamp & stamped on the paper. You can also see I've added a Bark Star...........love the shabby stars & hearts, they can be used for so many occasions.
Ok so I've used my new Earth Tilda & beside her I also placed Puppy Love Wiola. Both have been painted with distress ink refills & markers.
I also used the Magnolia Postage stamp on the image too & inked the edge with Pumice Stone & machine stitched around the edge.

Sandy has got lots of new flowers, Pomegranate Apples & berries from WOC, OMGoodness they really are so so gorgeous. The larger flower in the centre is also one of the new 'Magnolia' flowers, in front some Pomegranate Apples & just peeking out behind is the new Beaded Berry Stamen...........lush!!!

Dies used are Noor Design Leaves & Magnolia Doo-Hickey around the image.

Well that's it from me today, the building work is nearing the end thank goodness, although I will have lots of work to do when its finished. Cleaning the whole place for a start...........dust gets everywhere doesnt it :-( Today though we are retiling the kitchen.......

Hope you have a lovely weekend, take care.
Lotsa hugs Vicky xxx
