Precious Card for ***Cheery Lynn Designs***

Hi lovelies, 
As winter is not trying it's best to be very cold and snowy here in The Netherlands!
 I am longing for those warm day's already....so for today's post I used the pretty "Frolic"collection by the Blue Fern Studios to make a summery card. 
It's totally in contrast as what I posted on my Facebook page yesterday lol
As much as I love to make winter projects I also love fluttery summer and spring projects. 

I did a lot of stitching one this card which I love to do. 

Precious: 
 Every time I see this word it makes me giggle inside because of the movie "The Lord of the Rings"with Smeagol saying "My Precious"talking to the ring hihihi
This was a really fun and easy card to make if you want to know you can always email me and ask!
You can find my email address on my blog but now let's have a closer look:

First I cut out the largest die of the CM6 - A2 Frames Rectangle Scalloped as the base of my card and I also cut out the third one from the inside out to layer my text on. As you can see on my card I stitched on it as I do on most of my projects....with the machine though because it's way faster. Hand stitching though is way more prettier I think.

I really love all the flower dies by Cheery Lynn and the B324 - Poinsettia Strip which I used here is no exception normally I make my flowers more shabby but this time I only curled the leaves to give it more dimension.

My Happy Life Layout for ***Creative Embellishments*** + Playing at More Than Words

Goodmorning lovelies, 
Today I am up on the "Creative Embellishments" blog with another layout I made using some amazing chipboard pieces. This time it’s a layout about myself. I am a very happy lady with how my life is going {well most of the time, sometimes life is not always going according to how you want it to go but hey that’s life….} I have a wonderful husband, son & adorable dog! I love my job {being a optician} and most of all I really adore my creative life. Working with such great products is such a blessing. Well enough blabbering on how happy I am lol. For this layout I used the pretty “Frolic” collection and pretty Petaloo flowers which are by far my most favorite flowers.

My Happy Life: 
I totally went all girly on this one Creative Embellishments has the most amazing chipboard pieces and I really enjoy using those circle frames. The words and phrases are wonderful too it add so much to your layouts, cards and other projects. For this layout I used the word happy from the happy word set.  Let’s have a closer look:

I treated the chipboard with gesso, ink and embossing powder with multiple layers to give it a great finish. I really like how this layout turned out so weird to say that using my own picture BTW it’s a selfie hehe!

Creative Embellishments chipboard used:
Thank you so much for visiting my blog! Here it's a lovely sunny day that I am going to enjoy with walking {with our dog} and spending some time in my scrap room have a great weekend! For this layout I was inspired the theme Personality & Selfie at "More Than Words" challenge blog.
For me that is "celebrating everyday"and be "happy"with your life.. one day without laughing is one day not lived
 
Thank you so much ladies on this team to create a challenge blog again for us play filling that gape of not having "Scrap Around the World"be there anymore you ladies seriously ***ROCK***

For this blog hop I made a 8x8 layout using the pretty "Enjoying Outdoors" collection by Maja Design with a overload of awesome dies. 

Make A Wish: 
This was such a fun layout to make, I knew I had some pretty pictures of my sweet niece picking flowers when we were at the playground with the whole family on a warm day a couple of summers back. I thought it would look awesome with those pretty fancy pots, fern and sunflower. 
Let's have a closer look: 

For the little leaves you see sticking out my flower pots those are form the left overs from the sunflower and I thought well I can use it as extra leaves.
