2 images LOVT Spring Sneek Peek

Hello my lovelies.. thanks for all your kind compliments. Well.. did not quite make it yesterday with a card.. Lancome had a awesome sale at Macy’s and a girl got to go shop sometimes for beauty stuff without having impatient boys with her lol. Pewh… sale started on Tuesday and the things I wanted were gone already yesterday afternoon.

Back to the things why we are here … I was able to color those cute new Lili of the Valley images in.. at first I had planned to use them on cards – as always- but than I looked them and thought they look so cute together as a set even the intensity of the coloring matched quite nicely and it does not happen too often. So I decided to use them as wall art. I had purchased a set of 4 frames prior to Christmas to eventually color images in and give them as gifts.

First I considered just using the frames as my required LOVT 3D project, and reuse the images on cards…. but honestly.. I really like the simple cute look of them. I even skipped the sewing on the images. I totally can imagine them in a girls bedroom

Here are 2 close up shots of the coloring.. it was quite hard to get a nice shot of the images with the lamps I needed to get them bright enough to show.

First image is called: “Wish upon a star”

The image below is called “Dainty Dancing”

hugs and kisses

Lili Of The Valley Spring 2012 Sneek Peek

This card is for sale on Etsy here:

Wow… ladies.. the new Lili of the Valley images are soon available and I bet you will love them all. First new thing beside the adorable images.. the girls have become a little bigger and I must say I absolutely love that! Much easier to color in. The images are charming as always and there will be a variety of all year round images and a few for Easter. Mostly girls and a few teddies and there is one stamp with a new “character”   This image is called “Pretty Bouquet” I had a hard time choosing, really and the only reason I picked her first was because she matched a bit better to the Design Paper.

Stamps: Lili of the Valley “Pretty Bouqet” – Sentiment
Papers and ribbons: Stampin up (they are unfortunately all retired)

See you tomorrow.. I am totally motivated and I am sure I will pick a new Lili stamp for tomorrows card.

… for everything you are to me

I just listed this card for sale in my ETSY shop – since it is a Valentines card .. I offer free upgrade on Priority Mail shipping (domestically) sold – Thank you so much dear Heidi mwah!!

Hello friends… sorry my postings are recently kept short. Lucas and I have the flu and feel really crabby. Hubby took the little guy out to get some stuff for the fridge. Hopefully tomorrow I will feel much better. I got a order from a local photographer to make some baby crochet things to use as photo props and I was quite busy to get a few things made for her too. It is always nice to see the hats on a real baby.. the photos you take at home are just not the same!!!

When I had last week a look at Krista’s new digi release, the image with this more “grown up” girl stood out to me. Thought it she would be nice in my collection because she is somewhat in between teenager or even adult. Would make a nice card for a girl friend who’s not so much into the really cutesy stuff. speaking of which… my friends here are ALL not into that hahahaha

Image: Saturated Canary ”Love Letters”
The sentiment and the label stamp is by Stampin up. The Sentiment was stamped onto contrasting paper, cut out and than adhered with pop up dots to raise it up a bit.
Papers are by My Minds Eye, Ribbon is a very old unfortunately retired color by Stampin up, flowers and a vintage key charm, a square paper doily has been used to decorate the front and the inside.
The inside panel where the handwritten note goes, is stamped with swirls by Stempelglede and is not permanently adhered. This way it can be easily removed to add the note and glued permanently back in later on.

As always.. iam grateful for your comments or even your time to come and see what I have been up to. Love xoxoxox

what a girl needs …

are some cute accessories.. everyone knows that

My friends adorable daughter modeled some crochet things I have made. She was totally rocking it as soon I put the camera down.. her smile was gone and I asked her.. are you bored and she said “yes”. I said just a couple of more and her smile was right back on. So funny that girls know all the poses. I could not have asked my boys to do anything like that. giggle

The hats have been made sometimes last week.. the scarf already around Christmas.. the yarn is really amazing.. really does not show any pilling or wear.  All items can be purchased over on my ETSY – the hats (brown hat – ecru hat)  are in stock and the scarf takes about 4 days to make. The hats are 100% organic cotton and soft as a feather.
