My Retro Christmas card

Hello and welcome! I made this retro, vintage card for the It's the Holidays Challenge at the Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog.

I love the retro style of Christmas in the 50's, when I was a child. One of my favorite memories is of the gifts we kids received from our Aunt Ethel. She always added a very fancy embellished bow on her packages, the kind with bells or sparkly berries, etc. It was my favorite part of her gift! I added the punched fir branches, gold snowflakes, and tartan Candi dots to my card as a little tribute to Aunt Ethel.

Thanks for stopping by today! Please leave a comment. Have a wonderful holiday season!

Shabby chic autumn coffee card

Hello! I'm back with another creation using a digi stamp from Graciellie Design that I love. I just used part of it for my white pumpkin tag post. I made this card for the Fabulous Fall challenge at The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog. I know the coffee digi is modern, but I tried to make the card with a shabby chic vibe! I hope it works!

Autumn white pumpkins tag

Hi. I love white pumpkins in autumn, so I thought I'd try a monochromatic tag with white pumpkins as the focal point. The beautiful pumpkin is from Graciellie Design. I reprinted it in three different sizes, cut each one out and embellished with ink, stamping and gel pen.

I am posting this at Tag Tuesday for their Seeds challenge and at  The Funkie Junkie Boutique Blog for their Fabulous Fall challenge.

"Spring Is In Full Bloom" challenge at F&F

Hello and welcome! The new challenge at Frilly and Funkie is "Spring Is In Full Bloom."

Here is my card for the challenge. I would love to be in Paris in the springtime!

 

March Madness!

I made this card for the March Madness challenge at Frilly and Funkie Blog.  This dapper vintage rabbit reminds me of the White Rabbit in "Alice in Wonderland", wouldn't you agree? Except here I imagine that he is in a mad hurry to deliver the Easter eggs to everyone in Wonderland. I colored the image (just a bit), cut it out and put it on a background of clock stencil and texture paste. I attached the tag to a basket weave-embossed background layer. The sentiment is heat embossed.

Coffee card

Hi! I made this card for the Krafty Chicks Challenge blog, which I just learned about today! Their challenge is Always Anything Goes, with an Optional Twist. This week it's Coffee, Tea or Hot Cocoa.

I love to paper piece; her dress and the background are from the same beautiful Authentique pad.

Vintage Easter bunny tag

Hi! I made this tag for the challenge at Tag Tuesday -- Mad as a March Hare!

For this tag, I went with vintage style. I thought it would be fun to stay with black and white, except for adding color to the Easter eggs. It was a fun project.

"Pass the tissue, please"

Hi. Thanks for stopping by! I made this card for the "Pass the Tissue, Please" challenge at
Frilly and Funkie Blog.  The challenge requires you to use tissue paper on your creation.

I found some texty, vintage looking tissue today in the wrapping paper department. I set about learning how to make tissue paper flowers. Well, I do need more practice but I'm pretty happy with these flowers as a first attempt! I had fun and made a ginormous mess, so it was a good crafty afternoon!

 

Come back soon!
