LOC Happy Christmas

It is Christmas Day here here in the Southern Hemisphere and I am just popping by quickly to wish you a blessed Christmas

while I am here I wanted to share this tag with you

I have fallen in love with this adorable Bee from the Layers of Color Honeysweet clear art stamp set

The Love Chapter clear art stamp set has been stamped along the edge and the Spellbinders Floral Doily Accent is added along the border.

The tag is from Stampin' Up and the Bee charm is from my stash.

A sentiment from the Love Chapter clear art stamp set and some fringing completes this tag...what do you think?!?

LOC All Lit Up

How inspiring is the Layers of Color Tea Party Blog Hop - it was wonderful having so many of you join us for it - if you have not HOPPED along yet, you can still do so by clicking here.  As any tea drinker knows, a good cup of tea just 'hits the spot' and the benefits are endless....as is the inspiration from the Design Team.

I have been playing with the newly released Beautiful Lace clear art stamp set - how can I resist, there are so many divine images, this lamp and doily are among them!

The circles have been cut using the Spellbinders Standard Circles LG and popped up on foam tape with a little bit of colour and some pears added.  All dies have been cut with the Spellbinders Grand Calibur - but you know I was going to say that - didn't you!

along with a Seam Binding bow and a large brad.  Seam Binding is one of my favourite embellishments, I love the stuff - crinkled, smooth, plain or dyed - bring it on! LOL!

LOC You're a Masterpiece

I have been wanting to create some layouts for a while now - stocked up on some Webster's Pages (YUMBLY) and had photos printed - and here is the first one - hopefully of many!!

The DP is from the Your Life. Beautiful range and is so lovely I was hesitant to cover it too much.  I am teaching this layout at my local LSS and have found that it is best to keep it simple - so it is perfect!

But I could not resist adding the divine Layers of Color Beloved Wings art stamp set and the gorgeous Crown from the Regal Wings art stamp set - they just seem to go hand in hand!

The butterflies are the Embroidered Butterfly cling art stamp, the gorgeous lace is part of a very special RAK I received. I have also used the Spellbinders Grand Calibur for the Floral Doily Motif DieCut.  I have used gold paper and sponged it with StazOn to give it a metallic look.  Finishing off with the Tim Holtz Flourish, that has been embossed with the Textiles Embossing Folder.

This layout is for the following projects:
Art Impressions Stamp Challenge - Distressing
Crafty Purple Frog - Pearls and Swirls

Just For Fun - Anything Goes
Paper Play - Anything But a Card
Divas by Design - DieCuts/Punches
Flutterby Wednesdays - Must Include Fairy/Angel or Butterfly - Open Challenge
Paper Shelter Challenge - Anything Goes
Truly Scrumptous - Things with Wings

Class Act Insider - Vintage
Fairy Fun Fridays - Pearls and Swirls
Poodles Parlour - Come Fly with Me
Stampin for the Weekend - My Favourite Things - Layers of Color Images, Webster's Pages
