Memorial Day Inspiration "Flying Flags" by Peggy Lee

This past Monday was our Memorial Day Holiday, our family

always celebrate with watching the Memorial Day Parade.

My hubby marches every year...

My heart is always full of joy, grace and grateful to all who are and have served.

Thank You to them all, even the ones who are left behind will they serve.

I love to take a photo of the flags flying every year!

I wanted a way to gaze upon it's beauty and be reminded everyday...so I created this 

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout of the Flying Flags!

Love the USA!

I used drywall tape as a stencil, I laid it down and scrapped 

stucco over it, then pulled it up...it leaves great texture!!

I also used some other stencils as well.

I did some random stamping, sprayed and splattered

my favorite mists, color washes...and gesso watered down.

I found some metal letters in my stash...perfect for this layout....I am going to frame this

layout and hang it on our wall to honor my hubby and our family members who have served.

Thanks for stopping in today,

hugs

My Hero "Father's Day Card" by Peggy Lee

Good morning everyone, with Father's Day upon us soon in just a few

short weeks...I wanted to share with you all one of my cards.

I used a stamp set called "My Hero"!

Started with a white card base.

Stamped the airplane in chocolate ink (second generations stamping).

I also fussy cut out the images from the Skylark paper packet...

Inked all the edges with chocolate ink.

I popped up the images with tucking the banners to give

depth to the card...like the banners are flying.

As I type this blog post I remember my father who has been gone 

for  many years...I so miss him, love him more deeply!!

I try to share memories of him with my daughters, telling them stories

that he would share, songs he would sing....

I believe even though he is not with us, He Is!

Thanks for stopping in today,

hugs

Balloon Ride Thank You Card by Peggy Lee

Good morning, hope everyone had a Happy Easter!!

Over this weekend I had a paper crafting retreat where my 

crafty gals got to create this 

adorable balloon ride thank you card...

I wanted to share with  you all it too!!

"Balloon Ride Thank You Card"

We started with a standard base card.

Blue embossed paper is 1/4 smaller than card base...

Stamped the balloon onto a colonial white card stock-colored

with water colored pencils with a blending pen...

Layered with pattern paper and popped up off the blue embossed paper layer.

Last touch is distressing the edges...and add a crystal gem.

Everyone needs a thank you card....

I had so much fun with all the crafty ladies creating this weekend, then spending

a wonderful Easter Holiday with my church family & family....

Hope you all enjoyed your Holiday!!

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs,

Best Wishes Card and Sketch using Washi Tape by Peggy Lee

Morning peeps, it's Peggy Lee here 

sharing my take on Tonya's Card Sketch....

You all can play along for more details-you can find them here.

Challenge is to use (washi tape) on your project!!

Here is my take on Tonya's Sketch..

"Best Wishes" Card

Card base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2

I grabbed a few of my washi tape collections (which I have discovered

that I need more, yes more washi tape...)

I had a paper doily sitting on my table which I colored it 

with Distress Ink in spun sugar and a little water!!

For texture I splatted some ink watered down onto the card.

I took my center washi tape and covered a piece of paper then die cut out

a tag shape....cut out another piece of white paper to stamp 

"Best Wishes" onto popped them both up and glued a twine bow on!!

Oh embellished with a button and sequins...

There you have it my finished card...so cute!!

Canvas Flower Pin 

Good morning everyone I have decided to take on Tonya Gibbs Challenge from the Artsy Addicts Facebook!! The color inspiration is drawn from the beautiful photo....RADIANT ORCHID is the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year. 

I created a canvas flower pin!

You all know that Easter is right around the corner, this would be so beautiful to wear 

or give as a lovely gift.

I started with a raw natural canvas flower (already per-made for you)...

I grabbed my different mist in the colors to match the challenge...

Started to spray and play!!

I added some cheese clothe, lace, pearls and handmade flower with

some beautiful per made flowers! Seam binding and a facet with paper glued behind it.

Tutorial-handmade flower

I took Tattered Angels-Pure Mistable Paper

I cut a rolled flower out of the paper, misted with water...took my glimmer mist

and a paint brush and dabbed on the color around the edges.

I rolled it up wet, unrolled and dry a little-then rolled up again glued

together....dried again! Whoola!

Thanks for stopping by today!

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.

Close up of the 3 leaf clover!

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

Good morning Artsy Addicts peeps....

I have known I wanted to use "courage" as my word..

Just now having time to create a little gem

 to remind me..to have

 "courage".

I started with a torn piece of muslin and Marion Smith Designs stamps "Curious and Typo".

Stamped the word "courage" in Archival Ink in black.

Sewed another piece of torn muslin together...I just stitched over and over...for texture.

Grabbed my Tattered Angels glimmer mist started to spray away...along with more stamping!

Also glimmer mist my seam binding....and to protect the mist from 

running I brushed on a thin layer of multi-medium matte.

Punched my holes for the eyelets!!!!

Added some jump rings, chain and Junque Gems by Marion Smith...

along with my favorite little vintage mother of pearl button with the thread 

still in it....oh love this...
