FMS ~ Oh Happy Day!

Good morning and happy Friday! My sweet friend Michele is sharing her first sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches ~ oh happy day!!

I knew just the sentiment I would use, it's from The Stamp Market. My big bloom is too. I die cut it using some hoarded October Afternoon paper! A sweet new EF from Penny Black provides a little interest to my background and I popped on a trio of my favorite aqua rhinestones. It all went on a soft stone card base. 

Off this goes to the gallery. This one's for you, Michele!

Just Us Girls #780 ~ Sending Hugs

 

It's time for a new challenge at Just Us Girls! Isn't this Mood Board that Vicki picked out for us pretty. I sure would love to take a stroll on this beach! Now, I must admit while working ahead, I remembered the poppies being red when I created my card... oops, they're orange!

I started with a light blue card base then layered on some "clouds" made using a PPP border die. Next came those pretty poppies. This is a MB die cut from red cardstock with the stamens cut from glossy black. My sentiment (TSM) was stamped in black and Versa Mark inks then heat embossed with clear powder. The hubs thought this one was really pretty... I think I agree!

Your turn now. How will this mood board inspire you?

I'm up on the Poppystamps blog today! This is a peek at my card using the Nordic Swirl Mushrooms from the latest Nordic Forest release. Pop over to see how I finished the card!

Just Us Girls #779

 

Hey there! Are you ready for a new challenge at Just Us Girls? Carol is our hostess and she's looking for numbers. I was in need of a birthday card for our great nephew, so this was perfect timing!

I pulled out some paper from an old My Minds Eye 6x6 pad and I let them do the work! Since all of the papers came from the same pad, the colors and patterns flow together perfectly. A die cut banner die by PPP was turned into a shaker with the numbers added on top.

This little fella has been through the ringer. He went in for surgery and ended up with several complications that resulted in an 85 day stay in the hospital. He's home now, thanks be to God, and celebrating double digits!

What does Carol's word challenge 'number' mean to you? I look forward to seeing your masterpiece in our gallery!

With Gratitude

It's a rainy day today, a perfect day to snuggle in and get a little card making time. I have one for you today that will be heading to a few challenges. I love it when it works out that way! I've used Stef's colors from The Paper Players, Cécile's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches, the top horizontal line from Tic Tac Toe and finally, I've used a frame to fit in over at Diane and Darlene's Double D Challenge! Here we go...

My frame, butterfly and leafy sprigs are all from The Stamp Market. I added some stenciled clouds to the inside of the frame and fussy cut the Altenew sentiment. Off she flutters to the galleries! Thanks so much for stopping by, have a blessed day!
