Guest Design Spot for Crafting by Designs.

I'm so excited that today I am Guesting at Crafting by Designs.  The new Challenge is Lace/Doilies, sponsored by the fabulous Lunagirl vintage images, digital collage sheets and Cd's, also available on Etsy.  I've made a vintage tag using a beautiful Lunagirl image.  Spring always makes me think of tea parties and tea parties make me think of doilies an lace.  I've used Spellbinders Labels Five to mat the image as well as to cut the top of the tag.  The beautiful doily is also a Spellbinders, exclusive to Heartfelt Creations from the Raindrops on Roses collection.  The vintage DP is Graphic 45 and the lovely pink crocheted lace is Melissa Frances.

The teapot is a QuicKutz die.  The "T's" in Tea time are from an old Stampin'Up Alphabet set, stamped in Aged Mahogany Distress ink and cut with a smaller Labels 5 die.  The remaining letters in "Tea Time" are Nostalgiques stickers by Sticko (which remind me of the tags on a tea bag) and everything has been "shabbied" up a bit using Distress Inks.  Finally, I've added an unusually packaged tea bag that I brought home from a trip.  Not my usual style but I love how it all came out.  Thanks so much to Crafting by Designs for having me.

I'm also entering this in the Lunagirl Moonbeams Victorian Spring Challenge and the Digitally 'Sweet' Challenge Anything but a Card.

12 Days of Creepmas- Day 9

It's the 9th Day of Creepmas, how time has flown.   Today is Smeared Ink day and both Jolly Bloggers and Merry Hoppers have the opportunity to win a prize from our fabulous sponsors, Smeared Ink. Bloggers must use only Smeared Ink Stamps and hoppers must comment on each of the posts, so let's get to it.  To begin at the beginning, please visit my sidebar.  I've used the fabulous Succubus 5, (also available in the Succubus Set) drawn by my HDH teamie Ike, for Smeared Ink.

Poor girl is pining away for her love.  She's colored with Copics, fussy cut, glittered with superfine glitter, and popped.  The gorgeous digi paper in the background is from the new Smeared Ink Icy Paper Pack (also available in 12 x 12, as are all Smeared Ink Digi papers for you scrapbookers).

I've double embossed with both the Tim Holtz Tall Pine Trees Sizzix folder and the Cuttlebug special edition Snowfall folder and fussy cut around a portion of the trees to die cut the aperture using the largest of my Spellbinders Labels 13 dies.  The gorgeous snowflakes are from my ancient stash (probably JoLee's?).

The sentiment is computer generated and cut with a Spellbinders Fancy Tags die garnished with some blue adhesive pearls.  Now off you go to the fabulous Violent Kittie.

I'm entering this in the Simon Says Wednesday Let it Snow Challenge, the Sisterhood of Crafters Christmas Sparkle, Tip Top Tuesday Snowflakes, Through the Purple Haze Here Comes Christmas Day, Lunagirl Blue Christmas, Sparkle and Sprinkle Dec ATG with Glitter, and Crafty Calendar Cold and Frosty.
