Thinkin' About Ya

I used the awesome felt, purchased from this Etsy shop; Sweet Emma Jean. I put a silver pearl in the center of each flower. I luv the grey with this slate blue and white. I also added some spritzing.....sweeeet! Be sure to head over to SCS, to play along with this weeks CAS challenge. Have a super day...enjoy!

Birthday Blessings

ETA: Have been asked how I made the flower, it was burlap ribbon. I frayed the end and rolled it onto a Gluber, nothing special.  Made sure the frayed end was the center of the flower.  I hope this helps Christine!

Happy day peeps, well the yard sale shopping this morning was a bigggg hit!  We got lots of great bargains, it was seven of us, so you can say the SUV and truck was full....fun, fun!  I wanted to play along with the Fusion challenge again, trying once again to get the peers votes.  It is not working well for me though...lol.  I must say it is fast becoming one of my favorite challenges...luv the inspiration with a sketch; by far my two favorite types of challenges!  I went for broke and used both the sketch and photo, sweet photo; don't ya think?  I made the burlap flower from burlap styled ribbon kept it shabby looking.  I used the new Verve release set On Occasion.  Hope you Saturday evening is full of laughs...enjoy!

Hi friends, I am sharing the card I made using today's SCS sketch, such a fun sketch!  I may have gotten carried away on the layers and I could not stop adding layers and sweet embellies.  The washi tape, tag, and sweet button.  I have something very special to share, I am now hostessing the Cards For A Cause over at SCS.  If you are not familiar with Cards For A Cause, please stop by and check it out.  If you are like me, you make tons of cards and can't send them all.  Each month we spotlight a group, organization, or person who can use the cards to bless others.  There are tons of people out there who could be blessed by your extra cards.  I luv to give back, I feel very blessed!  To read about this months "cause" go here. I cannot wait to see what the year has in store for Cards For A Cause, help us help others!  Hope you have a fabulous day...enjoy!

Spread Your Wings

Good morning, I am sharing a card I created so that I could play along with a couple of challenges.  The CR84FN color challenge and the sketch is from a new challenge to me called Lily Pad Cards.  There are some awesome stamp sets to be won......wow!  I have used one of my pre printed cards that I purchased from this Etsy Shop, I adore her images and the quality is amazing! I should have trimmed the sides a wee bit, there is gorgeous yellow designer paper barely peeking through.  The sentiment is from one of my all time Verve favorites, Beautiful Kindness.  I made the flower by using several scalloped circles, the SU flower punch, and a Martha Stewart punch; I combined them all and sponged to make the yellow flower.  I have another post to follow, featuring stamps that are being release by Our Daily Bread, be sure to look for that post too.  I hope you have a wonderful day, the holiday season is upon us, so it is time to start thinking about all of those Christmas gifts and decorating ideas.  If you have not discovered Pinterst, wow...there are endless ideas awaiting.....you can visit my Pinterest here.   I have a pin board called "words worth reading" I luv quotes and have collected over the years journals and journals of them, I luv being able to have them on a pin board.....here is one I will leave you with today.  "never let success get to your head. never let failure get to your heart"
