Birthday Greetings Card

Hello dear Zeus and Zoe friends!

Today I have created a card using an amazing find from the Zeus and Zoe Etsy store that I received in my DT package...This vintage postcard...it is dated Sept 25 1909! How absolutely amazing is that? Unfortunately I could not make out the name of the sender, but the message reads " Better Late than never, your twin Sister" and it was stamped at the Stockbridge Post office... 

I used papers send to me by Marivic in my package as well as a crochet Doily that I cut in half and placed on both sides of the postcard.

The Button and the Butterfly's are also from my package and I once again used pieces of the cut up Doily from a previous project.

I used Lindy's Stampgang mists on my card and also used it to colour the image of the Lady on the card. Just love the vintage feel of the velvet page mark from Making Memories also available from the Zeus And Zoe store.

I did some stencilling with texture paste and misting with Lindy's Sprays.

I tried to combine vintage with the popular Mixed Media style of today...

Thank you so much for your visit...Please make a point of visiting Marivic's store and have her make up a specially designed package for you...

Keep well and keep crafting

True Love - May Challenge

Hello Everyone

It's Wednesday and the week is flying by!

I have a layout to share with you today for the May Challenge here, which is all about Riikka's gorgeous mood board.



The soft and gentle colouring was right up my alley and so put this page together.

This is a photo of my parents on their wedding day! They have been married for 46 years, at the end of October. I think its a wonderful achievement!

I used some wonderful goodies from the Zeus and Zoe kit and you can find these goodies here in the etsy store.  The lace doiley is absolutely beautiful and forms a beautiful background for my photo!

Here are some close-ups for good measure.

You will see I used some metal charms and some buttons! I love how these just add to the vintage feel.

We hope you will play along. There are some fabulous prizes up for grabs.
