"Love"-ly Lace

Oh, happy day. Mid-winter vacation is here. Before I begin cleaning house in earnest I needed to take care of some blog business.



Thanks to my daughter for her "plug". The secret to finding the time... I ignore the dog hair and dust until vacation, LOL . Now I have to REALLY clean. Maybe I'll save one day to craft.



Here is a card I made for the last call. The problem is I read the dates wrong and missed the submission deadline. The good news is I will have a few for blog posts! A silver lining.

Oh, by the way, Happy Valentine's Day.

Papers, Mat stack die, and sentiment are from PTI; image stamp is SU; scallop punches are Martha Stewart; embossing is Cuttlebug folder; bridal trim and pearls.

Bridal Wreath

Here again is a little card that went unloved by the magazine gods. I have fallen in love with the Fine Linen paper from PTI.
It is so rich when used with ivory. The pearl accents are left over seed pearls from my daughter's wedding dress. I only have thousands left that I have stored for 8 years, might as well use them. If I did this again I would emboss the sentiment in an ivory, but didn't have any.

PTI: Wreath For All Seasons, sentiment from Delightful Dahlias
Cuttlebug: Swiss Dot embossing folder
Score tool, Medium scallop Die , Mat Stack die, PTI
Lace accent, seed beads attached with Crystal Effects, SU

Hope you like this one.
