Have a Lovely Birthday

Hi friends!  It's my turn to show you a creation using my gorgeous Wild Orchid Crafts flowers!!!  This will be my last contribution to as a Design Team member.  Unfortunately, things are too busy for me to craft as much as I want to, so I have had to step down from all of the teams I was on.  When I do craft, you will continue to see me use my very favorite embellishments from Wild Orchid Crafts since they have by far the most wonderful selection to make our cards so special!!!

I used the gorgeous Walnut Trellis Rose, Mahogany Trellis Rose, 2-Toned Brown Chrysanthemum, 25mm,15mm and 10mm Open Roses, and Tulips!!!  I made the leaves myself with a MS punch and the left over stems from my WOC flowers.

I used the very pretty Cerridwen from Saturated Canary and colored her with distress inks.

I have a few more details on my blog if you would like to visit me.

Don't forget the 10% off deal with Wild Orchid until June 5th!! What a bargain!!!!

Hugs, Dena

Organizing Lace Ideas

I've said it before and I'll say it again!  "I love to organize"!! So lately I have had organizational issues with my various laces, so I went out and did a little searching for ideas and thought I would share some with you.  Since Wild Orchid Crafts happens to have the most fabulous laces around, this may be quite helpful for some of you! These are just a few of my favorites and from this I have my very own idea ready to get to work on and as soon as I'm done with my little project I promise to post it and show you all.

This first one I thought was pretty cute.  She displays them in a vase and uses rulers and paint sticks.  You can find more info HERE.

Now here's another desktop idea.  Found this one HERE
.

This next one is a little more my style!! Love how organized it looks! haha  HERE is the original site.

Now for the very practical organizer.  I  found this one HERE.

 Last, but not least, my ultimate favorite!!!!!! CUTE tags!!!  See more HERE.

I hope this gives you an idea of how to store or organize those pretty Wild Orchid Crafts lace pieces!



Have a wonderful day!!

A Frame Card!

 Willd Orchid Crafts has a very nice selection of purple flowers.  For this card I chose to use the darkest version of purple called Plum.   My card is called a Frame Card and this little gal is colored with copics and my papers are Bo Bunny!  If you look closely you will see I used the new Postal stamps from Lili of the Valley.  They are so adorable!

  I added lots of snow with my Snow Tex pen on the fence and trees.  I used two tone cherry blossoms, 15mm Plum open roses,  5mm Plum closed rosebuds, white guipure lace and vintage seam binding all from Wild Orchid Crafts.

 

I thought in this direction you could see the dimension of the card a little better.
