A little thank you

Hello dear friends,

thanks for stopping by again.

I have a little story to tell today..

I have made this shabby chic card for a very kind and

lovely lady.

I haven't been feeling too well at the moment due to 

some health problems and when I had a very 

unsuccessful appointment with one of the doctors at 

my local surgery earlier on this week, 

it left me feeling very upset.

There is a lovely lady who is a pharmacist at the same surgery 

and she has always been so kind towards me, 

and always gives great advice on medications etc.

But on that day, she really listened to me and took the time out of 

her busy schedule to help me and advise me on certain matters

concerning my health and other things that life throws at you. 

It is so nice to know that there still are kind and considerate 

people left in this world. 

I am really grateful to this lady, so I wanted to make her 

something as a way to say 'thank you'.

In life, we go through so many things; some days 

are really bad and sometimes we get so consumed by  

them, that we seem to forget the little

things that happen.

Those little things that make you stop and smile.

Vintage lovers

Hello dear friends,

hope you are well!

Today, I am sharing with you a sweet vintage 

altered art tag that I have made.

I just LOVE this beautiful image 

of these two vintage lovers.

It always makes me wonder who these people

are and what their story is?

I wanted to keep this pretty simple

and make this photo the focal point 

for my altered tag. 

I decided to type the words

"your heart sings and my soul listens"

as I thought it fitted perfectly!

I guess I'm just an old romantic at heart!

Thanks for stopping by, 

see you on the next post

To the dreamer... everything is possible

Hello again lovely friends,

hope you are well!

Here is a vintage altered tag that I have made.

I love using vintage images in my projects,

and this little chap fitted perfectly for this!

I gave him some beautiful butterfly wings to match the 

background of the tag and I added 

the words "to the dreamer everything is possible" 

See you on the next post,

Marie Antoinette altered tag

Hello lovely friends,

hope you are well!

Today, I want to share with you this dreamy shabby chic 

Marie Antionette altered art tag that I have made. 

I used a piece of white card stock that I 

cut to tag size and covered it with beautiful papers from 

First Edition 'The promise' collection. 

Next, I added some vintage lace and adhered this delightful

Marie Antionette paper doll image.

Then, I added a beautiful pink mulberry rose, which has 

been adhered on top of some die cut leaves and baby pink pearl stamens. 

Next, I printed out the words "Every day is a fashion show and the

world is the runway" and adhered them on to the tag. 

I have also adhered some fussy cut butterflies, which have 

been embellished with Cotton Candy stickles.

To finish, I made a hole in the top of the tag  

and threaded some vintage lace 

and sparkly white fibres through it. I also 

added this lovely baby pink rose cabochon and pearl trim.

Thanks once again for stopping by,

see you on the next post.

Hugs
