It's time for another challenge over at Frilly and Funkie. This time I am the hostess and I have chosen the theme "THINGS WITH WINGS". I would like you to make a vintage or shabby chic project starring something with wings. Angels, butterflies, dragonflies, whatever you can think of. One lucky winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Linda's shop The Funkie Junkie Boutique!
All of the following products that I used can be purchased at The Funkie Junkie Boutique

This is a scheduled post today, as I have decided to take a wee bit of unscheduled time off. So much to do and so little time to do it before the first snowfall. Apologies for being absent this week, I promise to get around and visit everyone soon as I get back and I will also continue with my tales of The Shire at that time as well. Until then, have a wonderful week everyone!! Before I go today, I would like to share an Albert Einstein quote with you...
"Our task must be to free ourselves, by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures, and the whole of nature and it's beauty."
Another totally delightful creation in such pretty colours Pamellia.

Fabulous project, Pamellia! Filled with so many beautiful details. I was beginning to worry about you--hope you accomplish all you need to do. My blog post this week features a tag I made based on your Julie Nutting card a few weeks ago. Just wanted you to know that I gave credit to you in my post and hope you don't mind that I lifted your idea.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Einstein quote, I'm totally whith it! :) And the little cute bird in your hand with his wings opened is tooo lovely!
ReplyDeleteYour card is breathtaking, how many layers and details in it!! Fab butterflies and papers, and gorgous charm!!
Love the idea of vellum folder with the ancient latin pages inside (I remember when in middle school I had to learn ancient latin and how difficult it was... I hated it.. ha ha! :))
Hugs, have care of all the little creatures out of your house and also of those that leave in woodland. They are waiting just you for their winter supplies... :)

Beautiful THINGS WITH WINGS inspiration. Lots of unique and different butterflies and even a bird!! Plus it seems so perfect to see the words 'simple things' because it uses the word 'things' from the challenge but it also reminds us to enjoy the simple things like "things with wings"! And then to top it all off - the PERFECT photo of a darling winged creature eating out of your hand. Very special. Thank you. j.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning card Pamelia and what a fabulous challenge! Love all the layers, the diecut butterflies and the little hidden card in the front pocket .. a lovely surprise for the recipient. Enjoy your break and thank you for the beautiful pic of that sweet little bird eating out of your hand .. your photography is amazing! hugs xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous card! The layers are packed with such dimension and I love, love the colors and pretty patters! I love the pretty butterflies and the pull out pocket~Another amazing creation! Enjoy a little time off...yes, we all need to do that here and there!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Wow! was that you on your balcony? It really IS like living in a tree house! How amazing that you could feed the little friend at the same time photographing it! How do you EVER manage to be dexterous enough to do that? Pamellia, thanks for the sentiment - oh so true - the more we become one with all of creation, all creatures, appreciating the universe - then do we become increasingly liberated!
ReplyDeleteYour card is enchanting - I love that inside your card front is nestled another pretty butterfly creation, which also contains more pretty tags! Hidden gems. LOVE IT, and pinned multiple photos to put in different boards on my account. OH SO PRETTY!
Glad you are off enjoying yourself a bit. Looking forward to the pretty photos upon your return.
love,

The layers on your cards always intrigue me and this one is no exception I ponder over them for ages looking at all the details. Your bird photo is stunning, both from the photography aspect and also the content, I cannot imagine the time it must take to capture such an amazing image. Enjoy your break and have a good week xxx
ReplyDeletePamellia, your card has fluttered straight into my sappy little heart. :o) Your beautiful theme has taken flight in your card, with the loveliest of butterflies and the prettiest of colors. Your tag couldn't be sweeter and you know I am forever enamored with your flowers, ribbon, and lighter-than-air design... aflight in beauty and enrobed in love. In fact... it could be said every card of yours IS a butterfly. :o) Thank you for another dose of inspiration from your beautiful heart.
ReplyDeleteThe sweet chickadee photo is completely magical... I am so grateful you are able to capture what my heart years to, but cannot! You have such a gift, Pamellia.. I do hope you realize that. Not everyone can do what you do, be it crafting or animal photography. This is my favorite ever photograph and it is written upon my sweet heart forever. Good luck with all that will be keeping you away, my dear friend! Time is sure moving quickly. I'm sending tons of love and hugs your way. :o)
Hugs and blessings,
Karen

Well, I can now pick my chin up off my lap! Both your card and your photo are so beautiful! This is one of those speechless moments! First, I must say that the design of your card is incredibly clever with that little hidden pocket--Love, love, LOVE this detail! The pink roses and layer upon layer of delicate butterflies warm my heart and really showcase your chosen theme, but the real show stopper for me is that tiny, vintage card tucked in there!
ReplyDeleteBeyond wonderful shot of the tiny chickadee lighting upon your hand! A God moment for me! Thank you for sharing! Sending hugs your way!
OMG, Pamellia, this is mindblowing! What a clever idea to create that little hidden pocket with a fabulous note card! Perfect layering, as always and those pink roses are so beautiful! It's a butterfly heaven, my friend!

Butterflies galore! I'm working on a butterfly friendly stand for my garden and this card reminds me of how beautiful the precious creatures are. Gobsmackingly gorgeous design and details. Trying to figure out the little charm though. Painted with white paint? I see you can purchase it through FF. Looks like it is going I. My wish list.
ReplyDeleteYour little birdie picture is a breath of fresh air. Love the movement captured in the scene and those minute details of the wing movements. Fantabulous dearie! Hope you are having fun. Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc
Gorgeous, just fabulous and so gorgeous! Karen x
