Beautiful Bella Picture Frame Card

Hello Friends and Visitors.

Welcome to my blog :-)

I will have to admit I have been so busy with house stuff and work the past couple of weeks I have not done much creating.

Sorry :-)

Yesterday I made a Gorgeous Match box to hold stickpins in a swap.  I still have 5 more to make.

Today...I designed a Picture Frame Card for my friend

Lacee...she is the Queen of Bella Creations.

She made me a fabulous Junk Journal..and is making me a recipe mini album!!  How sweet is that?  I will post photos when I get them.  Those of you who know me...know I only have boys..so I don't get to play with girl pictures much.  Today..I have a photo of Bella that I get to play with.  Yay!!

I used my silhouette sd to create some die cuts using some of my favorite Graphic Fairy Images...and a Gecko Galz butterfly image.   I am linking this up to Flutter by Wednesdays.  Their challenge called for die cuts or punch work..and of course a butterfly, fairy or angel.  So please visit by following the link..they have some great inspiration there!!   

Here is a photo of the before.

(you can see that most of my card is die cuts)
I am also linking this up to Passionately Artistic.  They are so sweet there...and some good recipes!!

The Frame and Tag are made with K & Company ancestry patterned paper.  I created this shaped frame card using my silhouette studio program.  All the items above and below were cut out by my Silhouette SD. 

OMG...isn't she just adorable :-)  I am going to be her new Aunt..LOL..because I need a girl :-)

I used Ranger distress ink in vintage photo to ink all the edges of the card, tag, and die cuts.  Art Glitter Designer Glue..and UHU..were my glues of choice.  

I just love how it turned out!!  It says...sweet as honey!  She is!! Just look at her :-)  As you can see I adhered all the flowers, bees, butterfly and text here.  I used a Dress it up button with some yarn behind it to create a dimensional flower as well as some May arts leaf trim.  

Of course it comes with a tag...because that is how I roll...LOL!

I made sure to center my photo when creating the card template..so my picture would be in the correct spot. 

There are those Gecko galz butterflies!! 

Of course...there is a journal spot on the other side..so Lacee can add some sweet little story.

I used another button..and some more yarn..and leaves.  I also used a perfect medium pen to draw around the edges of the scallops on the frame part..and some dotted butterfly trail on the tag....used gold embossing powder..to give it a little something extra.  Perfect pearls line the opening around her photo.

I hope this inspires you to create something beautiful today!!

Have an awesome day!!

Gecko Galz Match Box & Pin Swap

Hello Friends and Visitors.

Welcome to my blog :-)

I spent most of my day designing a match box in my 

Silhouette studio program.  I had to do some math...LOL.

I am very happy with my match box template!!

I used the Crazy Mannequins and Journal it Collection From 

Gecko Galz to create a digital collage.

Here it is below

So I created a die cut out of this with my Silhouette SD and put it on my Match box.  I am entering it in a Few Challenges

over at The Flying Unicorn.  I am linking it up at
the Passionately Artistic linking party!  All kinds of gorgeous art there :-)  So please check it out.

Here is my match box below.

I used my Silhouette to print out "Alda" she own's the Flying Unicorn site.  This is actually the box that will be holding some stick pins I made for her.  She is one of my "Stick pin Swap" buddies also going on at the flying Unicorn.

I stamped the sides...and back with stamps I made and the fairy stamp on the outside back cover is from the

Fairies Shadows set at Gecko Galz!

Here is the back cover

I just love the fairy silhouettes!!  I have used some fancy yarn to add a little texture to my box.  I used Art Glitter Designer glue to hold it in place.

Here is a close up of the front flower.

You can see the fancy yarn ...so artsy..I LOVE it!!

Now for the inside.  I was to create 3 stick pins per swap group that I signed up for at the Flying Unicorn.  Alda, was in two of my groups..so she will be getting the 6 stick pins I made below.

I had so much fun creating these stick pins!!  I sure hope all the girls..and guys....Like them.  I used the

 Zen Garden papers From Gecko Galz and one of their digi stamps

to create the image below...which I used inside my machbox.

Here is the back of my match box.  I used Stazon jeb black ink..and my own hand carved/designed stamps and wrote a little note.  I also inked all the edges with vintage photo by Ranger.

This little box was so fun to make...I just have 5 more to go...LOL.

Have a great day!!

Being a Guest Designer at Bella Creations will be fun!  You will get to play with the October kit for Free!!
