Hope your weekend was wonderful! Ours was oh, so busy, and full of friends and fun--perfect!
Just a few things to share with you today...first, another bit of my Easter favorites...I think I really have a thing for eggs and pretty baskets!
I got these at Williams-Sonoma a few years ago and I just adore them! Gorgeous, marble eggs in beautiful Easter colors in a prettily carved crystal basket--can't get much better than that!
Yesterday was my friend Barb's birthday...I was a bit slow getting her birthday card done, but here it is...
This may possibly be the most stunning image I have ever seen...I love it. Whoever she was, and whoever the photographer was...caught one of the most beautiful moments...I found this over at Art Creations Friday--she provides so many beautiful images to use and offers a challenge on Fridays to share them. Thank-you!
I embellished with lace, ribbon, and one of the tattered fabric rosettes I made a few weeks ago--the rosette is made with a strip of plain muslin, sprayed with some yummy Glimmer Mist--along with some beautiful velvet Prima leaves...
...a tiny bit of Dazzling Diamonds on the image just to highlight...Martha Stewart fine gold glitter to frame her, a bit of antique trim at the bottom of the image from Crafty Secrets' "Altered Fairy" Creative Scraps, as well as the "Happy Birthday" sentiment...finished it off with a couple of topaz crystal rhinestones.
Happy Birthday, Barb!
Next, a sweet St. Patrick's Day image, provided by Sandy Redburn over at the Crafty Secrets' blog as a free download--thanks, Sandy!
Such a cute little vintage Irish girl! I printed her out twice, and popped up the image on the background--I just love doing that! Some pretty greenish/brown crocheted lace, vintage mother-of-pearl buttons, ribbon, and of course, glitter! I had fun doing a bit of a decorative border with my glue and glitter around the image...
...finished it off with a bit of Dazzling Diamonds on the flowers in her little bouquet and the surrounding shamrocks, and that's about it!
To close up today, I just wanted to share the view from my back porch this morning...I know I share this view alot, but it's always beautiful, always changing...and I always love it...
Hope you all have a beautiful Spring day--it's definitely in the air--enjoy every second!
I'll be back very soon with something new...
