Life According to me...

Hello and thank you for stopping by!

One of my favourite things in the world is a cup of good tee with my best friend.

Because of that, picking a theme for this tag was really easy, 

especially when you can use a MAD TEA PARTY collection from MSD:

Full of Wonder Mixed Media Layout by Tonya Gibbs

Hi everyone, I hope you're having an awesome week so far.  Today I'm sharing a mixed media layout of my niece Emily. I recently took this photo at Easter and the expression on her face is so precious. She's just oozing with sweetness.   I thought that the tag on the right from Marion's Mad Tea Party Collection said it all "Wonder, For the Curious At Heart the Wanderous Mind, and the Adventurous Soul"

I decided on Marion's Motley Collection  & Junque & Gems, because there are so many elements that can be fussy cut from this collection. The festive color palette was perfect for my sweet Emily! 

I used scraps from recent projects, and took this opportunity to fussy cut the elements that could be used as stand alone pieces  then cut banners from the rest. This is a great way to eliminate scraps.  Individually these small elements seem insignificant, but when clustered together, they really make a statement.

 

I used a neutral baby blue paper for the background, and then applied a few mixed media techniques to give it texture and depth.   I stuck with the hot pink tones so that my photo would really pop.  

I'm seriously in LOVE with Gold right now, and decided to spray paint some generic paper doilies with Krylon's Metalic Gold Spray Paint.  I love how they look inside my embellishment clusters, and the gold matches this collection perfectly! 

I placed my title in the bottom left hand corner inside another embellishment cluster. Her eyes were so bright in the photo I decided to include that reference in my title   "Blue Eyes Full of Wonder".  The title card was part of Mairon's Scarlet Digital collection.   

We would love to see what you have created with Marion's gorgeous lines. Don't forget to #MarionSmithDesigns when you share your Marion Smith Designs Projects in Social Media.  

Thanks for stopping in today.

"Love U" Altered Heart Card by Peggy Lee

Hello everyone, it's Peggy Lee here,

sharing with you a card...I created I just love the Motley Paper Collection 

by Marion, I also used her new stamps love them!!

I love the altered heart I created as a faux heart necklace....great embellishment!

Just love the Junque & Gem key charm...so cute

hanging off the chain.

I used a primitive heart Sizzix die out of chipboard and 

out of the paper collection...adhered the papers to the chipboard hearts.

I added depth with pop dots.

I gave the hearts alot of texture with multi medium gel and 

ultra thick embossing enamel.

Rolling back the edges of  the papers give great interest to the card...

great place to tuck in one of Marion's paper doilies, and Junque & Gem metals...

This card is so fabulous "if I do say so myself" I think it needs

a special frame to hang on my wall....

Thanks for stopping by today,

hugs

Gift Tag

Hello my friends, 

My newest project for MSD is a gift tag 

and a special tag box.

Usually when I want to give something from myself, 

I give a personal card.

But I think tags can also be very nice gifts.

You can put it in a beautiful box in the same style:

I used MOTLEY:

and some sweet doilies and gems 

So please let me know how you like this idea?

Thank you for stopping by and let me remind you about my DOUBLE GIVEAWAY
