Crafty Secrets Design Team Challenge "Fairies"

Good Monday morning everyone! I hope you are in the mood for some "fairy" themed projects... that is what the Crafty Secrets Design Team challenge is all about. So, here we go...
My first project can either be a wall hanging or sat on an easel to display... and I must say, my favorite project. I began with a circle chipboard piece, covered the front with the pretty green gingham patterned paper (all the papers used in my projects today are from the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD) and then made a border out of my favorite paper - the tiny rosebuds. This border took a lot of time to create but, I absolutely love the results and it was well worth it!
The canvas banner pieces are from Maya Road and then I took and stamped them with the banner image from the Artsy Banner Stamp Set they were a perfect match! The letter chipboards are from Jenni Bowlin and the little butterflies were punched out from paper from the CD.
The adorable fairy image is from the Love & Romance Vintage Cuts and the flowers and leaves are from Prima.
A close up of the border... and the little snippet in the bottom left corner of picture (Believe in yourself) is from the Mini Vintage Creative Scraps.
The next one is a card for you... it uses some more paper from the Creating with Vintage Patterns CD and an image from the Fairy Enchanting Heartwarming Vintage Card Stock Sticker Sheet.
I stamped the card with a sentiment from the Card Sentiments Stamp Set... aren't those little fairies so cute???
Lastly, I punched out some hearts from some green damask paper (from the CD) and sewed them down the middle. 

Well, that is it for me... the other talented ladies from the Crafty Secrets Design Team have lots of "Fairy" inspiration awaiting for you... below are links to their blogs.
