Sweet Erin go Bragh

Just a few things for St. Patrick’s Day…

These next 2 are very similar because I love the papers and the overall jewel tone look to them. I made one for Lake Tahoe Holidays here in South Lake and then decided I wanted one for my Etsy shop as well – and if it doesn’t sell right away I’ll be able to look at it myself for awhile.

And last but not least, this little cutie…

Pink Saturday with Team Serenity

It’s Pink Saturday with Beverly at How Sweet the Sound, and today I’m sharing a baby card with you and also some items made by members from Team Serenity on Etsy.  First up is this card – the sweet digital image is from Iralamijashop on Etsy, the papers being a mix of vintage documents.

On this card, again  vintage documents along with using up some of my stash in terms of the tag, some die cut hearts and a scrap of ribbon. The image and the beautiful floral paper are both from Iralamijashop.

Some wonderful items from Team Serenity

A beautiful set of vintage embroidered handkerchiefs from The Sandlapper Shop – she has many other lovely items as well.

A Tree of Life pendant necklace from Chickie Girl Creations. I love all of her items, but this is one of my favorite – so pretty, unique, and  earthy.

And look at this sweetie ~ beautiful hand crocheted pixie bonnet for a newborn from Doodle Bopperz ~ and just look at those little chubby cheeks!

Last but not least these gorgeous vintage inspired earrings from Maggie Madness Jewelry – you’ve got to drop by this shop and take a look.

Valentine’s Day Sweetie

I mentioned that I was adding my last banner for Valentine’s day into my last post ~ however, you can see clearly that I did not add it! So, for those of you who do stop by from time to time here it is. I’m hooking up with the “Love and Adore” challenge at Sugar Creek Hollow.

And a bit closer ~ you can click on the photos to bring it up larger so you actually see some of the detail

100_7099 (640x480)

100_7100 (640x480)

The sweet Bingo Images are from Fringeart. Handmade by me embellishments, fussy cut stamped images, some die cuts, paper doily pieces, sequins, and trim finish it off. The bottle cap I pained and then added a punched circle from over 100 year old paper, then added a tiny red heart and some glitter – then covered it with an epoxy dome. This was fun fun fun to make. Hope you enjoy

Take care,

Dru

Loving Greetings for Craft Hoarders Challenge #1

Craft Hoarders Challenge Blog is new and their first challenge is to create something / anything that is “you” along with using anything you may be hoarding ~ I should be able to play for a long long time ;-)

I think this says one of “me” ~ a sweet vintage image with glitter, paint, vintage lace from my own stash along with some Melissa Francis resin, etc.

100_7046 (487x640)

Background collage paper and the polka dot paper are both from Bety’s shop on Etsy

Another banner too for Valentine’s Day – probably the last one for this year – the holidays come so fast and I’m on to St. Patrick’s Day now.  Hope to have something to share soon.

Take care

My Sweet Valentine

Valentine’s Day ~ one of the sweetest little holidays ~ with chocolates in red velvet heart shaped boxes, conversation hearts, magnificent bouquets of red and pink roses and tulips, glitter, trims, cards of love, romantic dinners,  candlelight and so much more ~ really, what’s not to love?

I’m joining in with the current challenge from Really Reasonable Ribbon “Valentine’s Day and ribbon”. If you are not familiar with Really Reasonable Ribbon it’s worth a look. A lot of beautiful ribbon and the prices really are reasonable.

Hugs and Kisses & Happy New Year

Pink and Ribbon is the new Challenge #86 at Really Reasonable Ribbon. Still plenty of time to play and you will love the assortment of ribbon available at a very reasonable price. Well, Pink and Ribbon are a given for me this time of year and I’m so happy to be able to play along. I’m also going to hook up with the Blog Shop #53 at How sweet the Sound.

Isn’t she darling? Both the background pink rose paper and the image are from Bety’s shop, the tiny tag and the sentiment are both from Papertrey, the crinkled ribbon is my own – but Really Reasonable Ribbon shop carries both of them – in my opinion, the perfect colors for Valentine’s Day, the rhinestone hearts and paper doily are both from Michael’s as is the Martha Stewart adhesive heart. And then of course I’ve added paint and glitter.

It’s the start of the New Year ~ I wish you all peace, joy, and most of all love.

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with String…

These are a few of my favorite things. “Tied Up with String” is the theme for the December Blog Hop hosted by Papertrey  on Nicole Heady’s blog at Capture the Moment and I’m so excited to be able to play along as it’s something I’m seldom able to do. I was making a gift bag for my husband for Christmas and it just fit right in.

100_7018 (464x640)

100_7019 (640x531)

The Christmas tree die cut from peeled corrugated cardboard, the button twine, gift card holder die cut, star tag die cut, and “Merry” die cut are all from Papertrey Ink. The paper is older from my stash, and every year I paint and glitter an assortment of jingle bells ~ just because I love them so much. The feather is a free download from The Craftcake Mama blog. You just print out the patterns on the paper of your choice, cut them out and you’re good to go!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and I wish you the best in the New Year.
