So I had a little more time to play with Our Craft Lounge’s “Granny’s Potion”. I don’t usually like creepy crawly things but these spiders and their little webs were just to CUTE!
Stamp Set: “Granny’s Potion” (OCL); pattern paper “Boo to You” (MME); colored with COPICS and highlighted here and there with Spica glitter pens; sentiment is on half Label die cut (Spellbinders); a little ribbon and pop dots finish this CUTE little number. Enjoy and Create, Lila

Sorry I haven’t been posting much. I’ve had a few personal things going on in my life - not real pleasant…. none the less, I’ve had my heart and mind filled with well wishes, support, kindness, love, and strength from real and true friends and family. These negative things will pass - and hopefully soon will be resolved. But my thanks and friends will still be here!!! OK, so I’ve had the opportunity to work with a couple of the new Holiday Release sets from Our Craft Lounge - This set is called “Friendly Flowers”…… take a look and a little fun funky and country folk-type creations….
I used the “Friendly Flowers” centers to create a row of smaller (what I would call more graphic) flowers and circles. I love using VersaMagic ink with the clear stamps – it gives such a crisp image and very easy to clean up. Pattern paper is from My Mind’s Eye, some misc buttons hand sewn with hemp thread, a few ribbon scraps, border punch, and a little machine stitching along with circle and scallop dies round out this FRIEND card.
This card was inspired and almost totally CASEd from Amy Sheffer……. Again I used the “Friendly Flowers” to create a more country folk-type style. In addition to using some craft paper, this “Mellow” pattern paper from BasicGrey really helps with the folk feel. A little paper piecing, some rustic brads, VersaMagic and Vintage Photo Distressing Ink, pop dots, and matching BG ribbon finish the folk feel. I’m starting to see sun flowers everywhere – it’s really starting into Indian Summer which I know will be leading to Autumn soon….. I love Autumn and Fall colors. Enjoy and Create, Lila
