Lili of the Valley–Build a Snowman

Hi there! Do you wanna build a snowman?

Today, I’m so excited to share with you an altered project featuring this super sweet image from Lili of the Valley called Build a Snowman. I think that the Lili of the Valley images lend themselves so well to altered projects. The clock is from Tim Holtz. I simply covered in in gesso and different alcohol inks in blues and lavender. Once I came up with the look I wanted, I covered the whole thing in Mod Podge and while it was still wet, sprinkled it in lots of glitter.

The image was colored with Copics.

I added Snow Tex and small bulbs to the tree.

I also added a spray of Christmas greenery, flowers, and more glittery Christmas bulbs. I added more Snow Tex to everything.

I had so much fun making this and I hope you've enjoyed looking! Smile

Also, I of course want to thank Anne and the rest of the Lili of the Valley family for making my dream come true!

Thank you for stopping by!!

Lili of the Valley–Dropping the Shopping

As you may have noticed, I am in love with this beautiful paper from Lili of the Valley! It’s called Snow Princess and comes in solids along with gorgeous coordinating patterns too. The darling stamp is Dropping the Shopping. Too cute, isn’t it!? If you hurry, you can still grab thus cutie while it’s on sale!

I was visiting Oregon recently and snapped this pic of my granddaughter Emma along with a new-ish addition to my family, Bentleigh. The pic kind of reminded me of this image, so I thought I would take the opportunity to sneak this photo in. It may not look like it in this photo, but it was a chilly 30 degrees that day!

Thank you so very much for stopping by today!

Lili of the Valley–Trimming the Tree

Hello there friends!!

I am super excited to be able to join Lili of the Valley for the month of November!!

This precious stamp is Trimming the Tree and I’ve paired the image with Snow Princess Paper Pad.

Aren’t the colors scrumptious?! I really enjoy using non-traditional colors for Christmas cards.

The poinsettias were made with Spellbinders Poinsettia Die. Here is a link to a tutorial I did last year for Splitcoast on the flowers.

Lili of the Valley – Fluttering Gift Box & Few Fairy Gardens

Hello there dear friends!! I’m sharing my very last Lili of the Valley project with you today.

I do hope you like it!

For my project, I purchased a plain, unpainted wooden box at my local craft store. After removing all of the hardware, I gave it a couple of coats of acrylic paint in a nice shade of lavender. After the paint dried, I cut pieces of the GORGEOUS Timeless Victorian papers to fit onto the box. Before adhering to the box though, I had lots of fun with embossing paste and stencils. Around the box, I added a string of pearls and Gesso. I also added touches of gold Rub and Buff to all the new hardware and some of the embossing paste textures.

Here is a close up of the sweet Fluttering from Lili of the Valley.

I stamped a couple of extra butterflies, colored them and cut them out. After using my stylus to shape the wings I glued them on to the image to pop them off the page a bit.

OK! So, what’s in the box, right?

It’s a fairy garden kit. Yep! A Fairy Garden in a Box kit! In case you’re wondering what the heck that is, I’ve included photos of my own fairy gardens. I wonder if Fluttering might be very happy in one of my fairy gardens.

I think it would be a sweet housewarming gift or a welcome to the neighborhood gift along with a few small plants to get started. Inside the box, there is a fairy sign, fairy sized bicycle, a bench, a very small birdhouse, a very tiny bunny in a leaf and ..a fairy, all individually wrapped in cellophane bags.

So, …what’s a fairy garden? I’ll share a few of mine with you.

A hanging basket Fairy Garden complete with miniature plants

and a small “lake” with a bunny floating by in a leaf and a fairy tending to the garden.

Two more fairy gardens in baskets on the fence.

In an 18 inch saucer dish, sitting on the table between to chairs. If you look closely, you might be able to see the tiny ladybug sitting next to the fairy on the arm of the chair and a sign that says, believe in magic.

This one is in a non working fountain on my patio.

I think these two fairies are flirting with each other.

And another hanging basket with a vintage travel trailer, bicycle and a tire swing and Adirondack chair. There is even a gnome sneaking in to play in the fairy garden.

A door to who knows where.

And the very last one is just two mushrooms in the moss growing in a teacup.

Lastly, I thought I would include a photo of one of my teacup birdfeeders too.

I found this easy to follow tutorial at CapsCreations

Hopefully, you are still with me! I know there was a bunch to read and I got a little chatty!! LOL!! If I didn’t cover something or you have any questions, please just ask. I would love to hear from you.

I want to say a HUGE welcome to Anne and Lili of the Valley for having me!! I adored every single second playing with and creating these projects with these gorgeous, fabulous products!! I know there will be a lot more LOTV projects in my future!!

Lili of the Valley–Coffee Break

Hello there!! I’m so happy you came back!!

I’m still here… jumping for joy!!!

I want to share with you a little project that I made for my guest spot over at Lili of the Valley.

This sweetheart of an image is Coffee Break.

I paired the image with one of the sentiments from the Simply Sophisticated set along with the exquisite papers collection, Timeless Victorian. As you may have noticed, I like purples and lavenders and this collection is full of that!! The patterns in these papers are so lush too! Using stencils, embossing paste and glitter, I added some dimension to my project also.

Using my Cameo, I made a coffee pot and filled it with flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts. I also made a chocolate dispenser. Right now it’s holding Ghirardelli chocolates but I think the size could be adjusted to fit the new Lili of the Valley Chocolates! Now THAT would be so adorable!! I found the tutorial for the chocolate dispenser on Running with Scissors.

Thank you so very much for visiting today!!

Lili of the Valley–Friends Forever

Hello there dear friends! I am so very, very …VERY HAPPY to be back with you today, sharing my 2nd little project as a guest design team member at Lili of the Valley.

I found this sweet little journal at my local craft store and used stencils, embossing paste and glittered dragonflies on the top of the journal to joosh it up a bit.

Next, I colored this darling, sweet image, Friends Forever from Lili of the Valley. These fairies are so sweet and delicate…I just LOVE them!!

My frame was cut on my cameo using the my very favorite Timeless Victorian papers. I also rolled up a bit of paper to tuck into the pen, so it would match too.
