Paper Lovin Gals #27 submission, Audrey Frame


Audrey Frame


I have had painted this green frame a while ago and it's just been kinda uninspired until...I layed some super cute Nikki Sivils (Audrey Collecton) on my table next to it. And my creation was born...
I just fell in love with the way it's turned out. I'm quite proud of this one.
I'm going to enter it over @ Paper Lovin Gals #27


I decided on a triangle banner with some faux stitching! 
I have some of these "partridges" stock piled...they are the sweetest little birds. For the flowers I free handed some circles and spiral cut them, rolled them in and secured the trio down with hot glue!!
The papers I modge podged to the surfaces(the frame and bird).
....SWOON.....
I just may have to make more birds and flowers!!
Thank you for coming to visit, there's so much inspiration and encouragement to share.

Clever...it's Handmade



Hello Blog Friends!
Seems like life caught up with me in the last week and I've been absent! I did get to burn the midnight oil a few times! Nothing like some Bon Jovi and a stack of paper to get things going!


What I have to share with you is a sweet LO I made of my baby girl Easter of 05'.  I used the embroidery boards and patters from Clever Handmade! This is soooo much fun, you rub the pattern on and pre-pierced the design then stitch it on! 


So the Clouds are what I stitched on!! Just a floatin in the sky. This paper is the Embroidery Board that Heidi designed to be used with the transfers, but you can use it for anything. It's a great weight it  holds  up to getting spritzed, cuts nicely and it comes in some mod patterns:)



Isn't it cute?? You can stitch as close or as spread out as you want. I like seeing the pattern in between my stitching, and the little heart is so sweet!



Got a close up of my journaling and banner. I created the banner  using Sticker Tape, also a Clever Handmade product! I layered the two together and made a couple a snips and there is was, a clever little banner, lol! The sticker tape it a heavier  weight  than washi tape and it's not translucent. I'm a fan for sure. 

Thanks for looking it just maaayyy be two post night, we'll see!
