Diana's 2023 Birthday Card

 I've created a pretty, but simple slimline card for my dear friend Diana.
Her favorite color is purple, so this selection is perfect for her!


I also handmade a pretty envelope using the same paper collection.
Here's photos of the card with the envelope.




The flowers are a combination of 49 and Market
and the cutest little purple pansies I found at Hobby Lobby.


Thanks for viewing!
Have a great day, 
Lisa

Vicki & Mark 4-29-22

My sister's birthday in 2022.
We ate a delicious Filet Mignon at Perry's Steakhouse!

The 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Naturalist is a GORGEOUS collection!!
It's full of butterflies and beautiful foliage. 

The page I chose has printing at the bottom, 
leaving the top for fun decorating.

The laser cut distressed window frame was perfect as a background 
for this great photo of my sister & her husband.
I also used flower & butterfly laser cuts. 

I stenciled wild berries on either side of the window frame,
coloring the texture paste with the perfect light olive green.
The beautiful chipboard border pieces are inked in a gray-blue 
that matches the color in my sister's shirt.


My most favorite elements on this page 
are the printed chipboard daisies by ReneaBouquets.
They are made to be layered or tucked in flower bouquets.
Notice my sisters shirt is full of daisies!


Thanks for stopping by!
This layout will become a part of my Family Wall now.
Have a great day,
Lisa >^..^<

Thumbs Up!

I needed just one more layout of my Dad for my Family Wall of layouts. 
I chose this photo because I LOVE it!
It's Christmas 1978. 
Although that's not his hat, he looks great in it!

I stayed simple with decorating this layout because I really love how 
the photo pops on this beautifully printed paper.

Beautiful ReneaBouquets butterflies show off the blue & orange color scheme.
These are super incredible beauties!

I used a Rub On that was very fitting!
This photo also shows off the beautiful die 
used for the squares behind my Dad's photo. 

Simple flower arrangements are placed on opposite corners.
The heather flowers were recolored from white to a tasteful orange by spraying them with Lindy's Gang Starburst, Canna Lily Burnt Orange.
You will also see bits of orange moss, which was natural, 
but transformed with the same beautiful spray! 

I just LOVE the stamen in these flowers!

This arrangement features the same recolored moss 
and baby blue heather flowers. 

Thanks for taking a peek!
Have a great evening or day where ever you are!
Lisa
