I have a couple delights to share with you today. What could be happier than blue and yellow? Yes, that's right ... blue and yellow polka dots! Layered with a glitter house, button, and a bit of crochet (of course).
While on vacation in sunny California years ago, my daughter wanted a day trip planned to visit Hollywood. Never having been there, I admit I was curious to see some of the sights. By the end of the day we found ourselves walking Rodeo Drive ... then somehow we were in Juicy Couture ... then, as if by magic, there appeared the cutest pair of pajama's in my hands ... exactly my daughter's size. She was thrilled and so was I. She got the pajama's and I got the tags! Without a doubt the most expensive embellishment I have ever used is the tag from those pajama's - see it under the heart!? I added a crown, a painted pink and glittered frame, a shabby pink crinkly bow along with my own crocheted doily and flower.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of the weekend!
These are simply delightful Joanne! I am a HUGE polka fan so this one really tickles my fancy and the card with the PJ tag...dreamy!!!
ReplyDeleteIt always amazes me too how everyone can come up with different things based on the same sketch or goods ... your cards are stunning as always ... I love the little house and your pretty crocheted doilies
ReplyDeleteOh, wow; just beautiful, Joanne! The first card is my favourite, although I do love the story attached to the second one. I so wish I could join in on your monthly craft days! I wouldn't get anything done, but I'd love to be there :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! I really like sweet house and pegs on the sentiment on your first card - just adorable! And the crocheted flower and doily on your second card - just fab!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could join that monthly gathering. It sounds lovely and looking at your card I am in awe. Due to the blue hee hee :) but also the design and the perfect mix and match. Your house is adorable. And your perfection in pink? Priceless:)
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely stunning and beautiful cards Joanne.

OMG...both are just adorable. Love them both!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your tags are gorgeous and the designs are perfect. Using the designer tag from her PJ's is a great keepsake of the beautiful day you had together. I enjoy your work.
