Heart Collage

February has arrived, and tis the season for hearts.   

My latest collage includes layers of paper. Vintage wallpaper layered with music paper, lace, and pattern pieces.    

      

 

The sheen on this piece is really pretty and doesn't show up well on the pictures. I also like the way lace turns out when brushed with modge podge. It adds a whole new texture to a piece.

Don't forget to start making your Valentine list. It's only a week away. My family is already buzzing with ideas for gifts, or cards. Remember it's a great time to make someone feel special, and the perfect time to spread a little of God's love. 

Blessings,

Ele

Hearts

Hang your heart(s), literally.

I LOVE Valentines Day, and it's only three weeks away, (I know, I know, you just took down Christmas!).

A little bit of old,  a little bit of new, Paris inspired, and a whole lot of heart makes for a banner you can hang anywhere!  

Sealed with a Kiss:)

DIY TIPS: Lately, I've had a thing for pinking sheers. Not the lightweight decorative trim scissors, but the heavy duty scissors like your grandmother used. They cut more then one paper at a time.  Also, if you want the crinkled seam binding look, I have found that it is easiest to lightly spritz with water and then scrunch it up.

I've started to add a few things to my etsy shop, so stop by.

Have a blessed week,

Ele

2010 Pinks

I couldn't recap 2010 without a journey back into my pink blogposts. The lack of pink would be like living in a world where pink cotton candy, salt water taffy, and buttercream frosting didn't exist. Oh, how shameful to even think about it. 

So my dear blog friends, breathe deeply and absorb the sweetness.  

Pink Blessings to you,

Ele

Valentines

The loveliest day of the year has arrived.

loveliest: having beauty that appeals to the emotions as well as to the eye

I participated in Cathy's Amour Valentine Swap and my partner was Janet, of Janet's Creative Pillows. 

Score! Agree?

She also sent a lot of other goodies; such as chocolates, candy, rose candles, and gorgeous paper flowers, but I was totally smitten with this pillow. It had me at the gorgeous bridal lace, or was it the tulle, or the roses? Anyway, I was smitten.  

This is the Valentine box I sent Janet, as well as cupcake supplies, and an array of hearts. 

I spent the afternoon making Valentine cookies with three teenage girls. 

Wishing you a great Valentines Day!  

Blessings, Ele

Je t'adore

Je t'aime, I love you, Je t'adore, I adore you, Tu es ma joie de vivre,  You are the joy of my life, Tu es mon mon amour, You are my love, Mon amour pour toi est éternel, My love for you is eternal, Mon amour pour toi est si grand que le Mond, My love for you is as grand as the world...

                              

When talking about Valentines Day, I just couldn't resist sharing a bit of the French love language  with you.  

Valentines with crinkled seam binding, vintage jewels, crepe ruffles, and glass glitter,  just might say, "Je t'aime".  

      

Je t'adore, I adore you.

I adore you for being a follower and for your words of encouragement.
