3 Leaf Clover-Jumbo Tag

Good morning everyone, it's Peggy Lee here to wish you all a

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I decided to try my hand at creating a clover....and this is what I came up with (my daughter thought it was a palm tree...lol). I wanted to use the Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue Collection, I used the paper with beautiful vine leaves on it, I cut them out of the paper inked the edges and glue the centers together. It helped give the leaf some lift and depth, the stem is actually the leftovers from the embellishment sheet with the chipboard pieces...I cut it out, inked and glued down...I also used G45 Staples for the clover center and tag....I just love those metal brads.

This mixed media jumbo tag was a little hard for me (mojo stuck) since we just moved into a new place and my life is all in boxes...ugh...but we started to settle in and I caught a very bad head/chest cold....and in my heart I want to create but in my mind was to sick....so I took a small window of feeling a little better and played....and to be truthful it was just what I needed....I am happy now!!

Thanks for stopping in today.

Wish me luck in finding my crafty supplies in all those boxes!!

hugs, Peggy Lee

Cristmas Cards

I thought I would share with you a card that I created using Graphic 45's Christmas Emporium, and Spellbinder's Poinsettia die.

I rounded the corners of the wreath patterned paper from the collection, and sewed around the edges for a clean looking backdrop. The Santa Clause photo was a panel on the paper and I thought the stamp was a nice touch. The stamp is from Studio G.

I have a YouTube video on how I made the Poinsettias. To me they look so realistic.

I love making Holiday cards for those extra special gifts. I would love to see your card creations on the Artsy Addicts group, please make sure you tag me if you post one.

Thanks for stoppping in today.

Steampunk Mini Album

One of our Artsy Addicts Members, Amy Rodriguez, designs unique mini album dies and has shared her Hot Air Balloon and Dress Form Dies with me. I was so excited to get the opportunity to play with these dies. I wanted to share with you guys today the mini that I created.

From day one I knew I would use the Steampunk Debutant Line from Graphic 45 on this mini. I wanted it to be tiered so that behind every dressform there was a hot air balloon. I also wanted the pages to be vibrant, elegant, but most of all interactive!




















Here is a video with a complete walk through of the concepts and details on each page.
