Live & Love Crafts DT Creation - Happy Birthday Princess

Hello everyone its Saturday which means its my  turn to post something over at LLC using Sandy's theme of Pink + one. I have gone for PInk & Purple inspired totally by my daughters bedroom & the gorgeous Pion 'My Precious Daughter' collection.

Its my daughter's birthday today she's 23, I cant believe it. As some of you know she has severe Cerebral Palsy & whenshe was born she was extremely ill, she wasn't supposed to live much longer than 2 weeks..... All the odds were against her, however she has proved everyone wrong & she will carry on proving everyone wrong, I know she will <3

So here is a gift bag I've made her for one of her pressies. I have put some flasy bath lights in that we have brought her for her new bath ;-)

I lurve this paper collection & it was my favourite Pion collection until Paris Flea Market came out, so I'm gonna say this is one of my favourite's as they always seem to get better & better lol.

So this is the main sentiment which I cut form the 'My Princess 12x12 sheet' as she is our princess.

I also cut out butterflies form the collection, here I layered 2 butterflies up together, added pearl string to the centre & a bit of gesso.

Just tucked under the sentiment is a crown die-cut which is from the Marianne Circle & Crown die. I've inked it up with Milled Lavender distress ink. The circle part is under the spellbinder frame which was cut out using the other side to this same sheet.

Here I've added the crown again but this time I cut it out of the Pion paper, reverse side. I have rolled this top layer of paper which is the top part of 'My Princess 12x12' & added a doily underneath.

I made a small bow, added a metal rose & hung a 'Princess' charm from it.

The 'I Love You' sentiment at the top there is from a Maja Design sheet.

Again I've added another cut out butterfly from the collection.

At the bottom I ripped the paper & added lace to both sides, so it kinda looks like ripped lace as well ;-) Another butterfly, The leaf die is a Noor Design die.

The bottom paper is the reverse side of 'Angels 12x12' sheet. I've inked & slightly distressed all edges & then machine sewn around them.

In the top left corner I've made 2 bows with 2 colours of seam binding that Sandy shabbies up herself & is sooooooo gorgeous, I love this stuff. I also added a charm from it. NOw Natalie cannot do anything, basically a 3 month old mind in a 23 year old body but I know she would probably be like me & lurve & I mean LURVE shoes........or boots & we can never have too many. So that's why I added a Shoe Charm.....think she would probably steal mine from time to time too.

HUbster wonders why I need over 50 pairs when I only have 2 feet.........ah I may only have 2 feet but there are 365 days in a year.......you do the maths. In fact I need more darling ;-) lol

Ok so at the bottom I used my Spellbinder frame again & used the smaller frame to cut out a piece again from the 'Angels' sheet but this is from the front bottom right corner. I've then cut an image from the 'My Princess 6x6' sheet & placed it behind this gorgeous Prima Resin Oval Frame. I added a tiny rose to the top & a scrap of seam binding ot the bottom..........I cant throw any seam binding & keep every bit of scrap lol.

You can also see peeking out from behind the flowers a wooden heart covered in gesso.

Of course I added gorgeous laces, 4 in total including the one behind the ripped paper. I also added an array of gorgeous flowers & pomegranate apples from LLC of course & added a dashing of gesso here & there.

The dies under the flowers are all from Noor Design UK, 0331, 0332 & 0163 which I cut in half to make it wider spreader because its a larger array of flowers.

That is it form me, I'm out with my whole family this afternoon taking the birthday girl out. We've had a hell of a week, with things going from bad to damn right kick you in the teeth, so we are really looking forward to it. 

If you pop on over to Live & Love Crafts you can see the uber gorgeous new Pion Collection called 'Linnaeus Botanical Journal', so so pretty.

'To my darling Natalie, 'Happy birthday princess, we are so proud of you & love you from the bottom of our hearts. Hope you have a fabulous day sweetheart mmwah '

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, take care.

Tatty bye & big hugs Vicky xxx

Noor Design UK DT Project - Live, Love, Laugh

Hellooooooo everyone, I'm here today with my DT Project for the Noor Design UK Blog. I'm showing you something I made for my daughter's new bathroom when its finished.

I have to say I enjoyed doing this soooooooo darn much & although it took me quite a few hours & I didnt get finished until nearly midnight last night.......well I'm actually pleased with it. Let me tell you this doesn't happen often.

Ok so I've been playing with the new MDF Beach Huts & as Natalie's bathroom is gonna be shabby chic theme, I've made the huts shabby chic.

Lots of pics I'm afraid, it does look better in real life but at midnight its hard to get good photo's.

You get a set of 3 huts, an anchor & the base for it all to sit on. Of course there are different ways of using this set as my uber talented teamies will be showing you. Also the lovely Bev showed you a different way earlier in the week.

I tried something different with mine, well different for me anyway lol.

Ok so the base & the anchor I painted with Black Gesso first as I wanted a slightly different tone to these. (Excuse the board its on, I use an old calender backboard for painting on, as I use the large calenders they are perfect for this.....its recycling lol.)

All the huts I painted with white gesso.

I then used the new Mask Art A5 Grunge & some structure paste & did a random pattern on top of the black. I should have took pics but I forgot :-( Once the structure paste was dry I then went over it using a watered down gesso & different brushes.

I've gone over parts with Perfect Pearls adding touches of lilac here & there.

The 'Relax' wording is from the Grey Board Art Maritime Text English & Dutch set & I painted it with white gesso.

The 'Lifebuoy' is from the die set & I inked it with Milled Lavender & added bakers twine around 2 sides.

As you can see the base I did the same as the Anchor, I just wanted these to look different to the huts.

The shape at the bottom of the hut here is a 'Sandcastle' from the new Paper Art A5 Holiday set & I heat embossed it with shabby pink fran-tage.

I stamped a small sentiment on each hut using the 'There Are No Little Dreams' stamp set. Each little sentiment is to do with each word I've put at the top of each hut.

At the top of this one I wrote 'Laugh' using the new Stencil Art A4 Alphabet 3..........LOVE THIS!!!! Its awesome & will be getting a lot of use ;-) Added touches of lilac using a glitter pen then wiping it away to leave smudges here & there.

Seagulls from a die set, links below post.

At the top of this hut I wrote 'Love' & the sentiment is again from the same stamp set. 

I decorated the hut by using the Mask Art A6 Clouds, the clouds I used structure paste adding texture & the rest I used different shades of perfect pearls to create the blue sky.

I tied string around a small part & attached a small charm, I also added a bark star.......adding gesso here & there.

On this hut I wrote 'Live' & again stamped a small sentiment again. So all the huts read one of my favourite sayings 'Live, Love, Laugh'.

On the first & last hut I used the Mask Art A5 Bricks & used structure paste to place bricks up each side of the hut. I then used the Mask Art A6 Clouds again using white gesso for the clouds & a range of perfect pearls for the sky. 9will try replace this last pic with a better one tomorrow, oops I mean later today lol. This is scheduled & its really 2am, yep time for bed I think)

I really am happy with the way this has turned out, infact when my youngest son saw it in the kitchen when I had finished........he said 'WOW'....... I took this as a good thing lol. Wish the photo's showed it properly but never mind.

Why not pop yourself along to Tracy's shop here & check out all the new items she has got in & getting in. Dont forget even if it says out of stock you can still place the order or get in touch with Tracy......... So grab yourself a cuppa & pop along & fill that basket ;-)
