I would like to send out a huge thank you to Marivic for allowing me to be part of such a fabulous Design Team and for giving me the opportunity to create with her gorgeous vintage kits... I've had so much fun!!

Zeus and Zoe - All About Love Challenge

Hi Ladies,

This month's Challenge at Zeus and Zoe was set by the lovely Gayle Price.  The theme is all about LOVE.   All you need to do is create a project based on something or someone you love, and make sure the "word" LOVE is obvious on your page. Click HERE for challenge details.  The rules on how to play are included at the end of this post.

Live Laugh Love

I have created a LO for this month's challenge using some gorgeous flowers, lace, heart ribbon and vintage button from my Zeus and Zoe Kit available from Marivic's Etsy Shop.  I altered the lovely metal heart which was also part of my kit, with some silver Viva Decor paste and backed it with some pp and a rubon.

I am trying to be a bit more adventurous with mixed media techniques and  had a little play with some layers on my background.  The pp's are from Maja Designs.

Zeus and Zoe - Friends Canvas

Hi Girls,

I am back with my 2nd project for the month using some of the gorgeous items from my Zeus and Zoe vintage kit.

For this project I decided to create a canvas to give to my sister for her upcoming birthday in January.  I started by altering my canvas background with gesso, glimmermist and a mesh stencil which I masked with some old gold Viva Inka Gold paste.  I then added some gorgeous vintage lace to the corners which was in my kit.

My kit also had some beautiful pp and an envelope from which I fussy cut the floral elements.  I layered the flowers with a crochet doily, some lace ribbon, vintage buttons and heart and key charms and  finished off with a few rubons, some paper roses and a glittered chipboard title.
