Pink Saturday and a Baptism Invitation

Alas, in my constant albeit somewhat restricted forage for pinks I was thinking I had nothing to share as I’ve been working on weddings and 4th of July projects and then I remembered, one of my customers had asked me to design a Baptism invitation for their daughter’s upcoming baptism. And what were the colors? Yes, white, silver and PINK!

There were a few to choose from~

And then my favorite – of course…

Don’t look at the edges not held down well. On my samples, I just hold them together with double sided tape for demonstration purposes, so I can change the front around until I come up with the design my customer wants.

And here is the one chosen…

Please stop by Beverly’s at How Sweet the Sound for a wonderful variety of pinks. There’s art, beautiful vintage dish and glassware, gorgeous gardening and wonderful recipes for lots of inspiration. You will not be disappointed. Happy Pink Saturday everyone!

Happy Pink Saturday…

It’s time again for Pink Saturday. I have not played for a couple of weeks as I’ve been working on Patriotic themed items for Lake Tahoe Holidays here in town and thus have had nothing in pink. I have a few more Mother’s Day cards started and so finished one for Pink Saturday. Thank you Beverly for hosting this each week. Pop on over to How Sweet the Sound to meet a lot of really nice people and see some beautiful pinks.

Here’s mine – not just for Mother’s Day actually – there’s no sentiment, so it’s appropriate for many occasions.

I’m still using up older paper, so that’s what I have here, with a little sewing, an image from Seneca Pond, some glitter, my own crinkled seam binding along with my own handmade trinket pins, a K & Co embellishment on a scrap of trim and some other bits of treasures.

Have a wonderful weekend and Happy Pink Saturday to all of you.

Easter’s Loving Wishes

I’m hooking this up with The Vintage Cafe Card Challenge. The challenge this week is to use pearls in your project. I hope all you who celebrate Easter are having a wonderful day.

And another sweet image ~ Wishing You Easter Peace…

Happy Easter to all

CR84FN51 Color Challenge

I know I’ve mentioned this challenge site before ~ CR84FN They have some of the most interesting and fun challenges. The colors in this inspiration photo are beautiful…

and this is my take ~ actually since I create by mood, I usually make something and then see if there’s a challenge to fit. I hope this works…

The image is from Crafty Secrets “Birds and Blossoms” Creative Scraps, the papers are scraps and digital vintage ephemera. The little tag is from Papertrey Tiny Tags, as is the sentiment “wish”, the little egg embellishment is from one of Brenda Walton’s Designs for K & Co., buttons are from my stash and the ribbon is vintage seam binding hand-dyed and crinkled by me.

I’m also linking up to Crafty Secrets 1st Linky Party on their blog  Heartwarming Vintage Inspirations

I love painting and glittering and sewing along with beautiful images. Hope you like it.

A Few More for Mother’s Day

Just a quick post tonight. The house is so quiet, it’s snowing outside, my husband’s not feeling well so he’s sleeping, the cats are sleeping and so is my little boy – but that’s nothing unusual for him…

I love the way their little tongues stick out when bulldogs are sleeping. I’m currently working on Mother’s Day for Lake Tahoe Holidays and also my Etsy shop, so here are a couple more cards, the sewing bits are all from Bety’s Etsy Shop, if you love beautiful collaged vintage image – drop in to see all her goodies…  The dress form is a stamp from Crafty Secrets that I stamped and cut out.

Night all…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day and Happy Pink Saturday…

Pink Saturday is mixed with St. Patrick’s Day today at How Sweet the Sound, hosted by Beverly. Lots of pink and lots of green today, so take a few minutes to pop on over and have a look – so very much to see, and such an enjoyable way to spend some leisure time on a Saturday morning. Thanks Beverly for hosting such a fun time.

Finally, we’re having some snow. Started earlier in the month, but didn’t stay long and the storms were sketchy. This week however, we’ve had a bit or rain and now snow – approx. 5 ft. up top and a couple of feet here in town. And since I’m an airhead I did not plan for Corn Beef and Cabbage or any other lovely dinner for St. Patrick’s Day, so we’re just going to have to settle for what we have on hand (because we are not going out in this just to go to the store) ~ a spicy curried pumpkin soup with tortellini ~ kind of an odd mix, yes? But really good ~ yum!

Another little peek for Mother’s Day ~ It really is just around the corner.

Enjoy your weekend, Dru

Vintage Sweetness for Mom

I’m just all over the place right now – St. Patrick’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day, even Memorial Day and 4th of July. You think you’re work space looks bad - I have 4-5 holidays spread ALL over my area.

A couple of cards for Mother’s Day….

A close-up of the little flag embellishment – one of my new favorites. Just cut out a banner (or use a die if you have one), stamp your sentiment, use a little glue on a pearl top corsage pin and wrap your flag around it – hold for a few seconds until it’s secure.  I love this – did a few with red, white, and blue ribbons last year, and have been hooked ever since.

I’m still working my way through some of my paper that’s been sitting awhile. I just pull out a piece of paper and make a few cards out of it each with a different theme or different embellishments. Both of the beautiful images used here are from Bety’s Etsy Shop – If you love vintage and beautiful collages check her out.

Take care
