CCC145 Thinking of You

Happy Tuesday, peeps! My card today uses the colors from Creative Colour Challenges:

I wanted to use the new Happiest Day set in a fun way:

I used the medium-sized arch stamp to create some flowers in Summer Splash ink, with Pecan Pie centers, then fussy-cut them out and mounted them on a Summer Splash DSP diecut.  It was matted with Pecan Pie layer and a Crumb Cake Perennial Postage diecut:

I stamped the dragonfly with Crumb Cake and Summer Splash inks, and added an Earth Tone Shimmer Gem.  I diecut the sentiment with a Countryside Corner die:

I embossed a panel with the Dotted Circles embossing folder; the inside was stamped with a sentiment from Adoring Hearts:

I rather like this color combo, I'm going to save it for future!!  Thanks for popping in today--enjoy it and be blessed!

I call to God, the Most High, to God, who supplies my every need.  He will answer from heaven and save me; he will defeat my oppressors.  God will show me his constant love and faithfulness.  

Psalm 57:2-3

FMS633 Latte Just For You

Happy Thursday, all! The week is winding down! My sweet friend Linda is the hostess at Freshly Made Sketches, so I just had to play along!  Here's her fun sketch:

I pulled out some A Little Latte DSPs and went to work!

These papers are so fun!  The cups of latte are actually part of the papers; I just used the matching dies to cut them out!  The colors are yummy too!  I do admit, I am not a latte gal, but I do love my black coffee, especially in the morning!

I stamped and diecut a sentiment from Adoring Hearts and added some Neutral Sequins to finish it off:

I just love this sketch!  Thanks so much for popping in today! 

Not only is it baseball season, it's also fishing season!

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

Perennial Postage Valentine

Happy Monday, peeps! Hope you all had a good weekend and are recovering from the Super Bowl, LOL!  I don't care a whit about football but getting together with friends is always fun and if there's a surprise ending, that's always fun too! And the commercials!   I have to admit that the Kawasaki commercial was my favorite one of all!  Too funny!  But you didn't come here to talk football! I do have a Valentine to share using a template that was inspired by Cyndi Johnson (not sure if she has a blog) and since it's been received in the mail, I can share it now!  It uses some retired DSP, Adoring Hearts stamps, and the new Perennial Postage dies! Here we go:

This layout has endless possibilities, especially if you want to use up some scraps of DSP!  I simply diecut some of the pieces from last year's Hues of Happiness and stamped my sentiments on top:

I did add a little bit of Baker's Twine from the three-pack, and mounted everything on a Basic Black mat. I think that really makes these colors pop! Such a simple idea!

Our small group from church went on a couple's retreat at Sandy Cove, which is Christian retreat center not far from our home; it's actually where John & I first saw each other at a couples' retreat!  It is on Sandy Cove, obviously, which is on the North East River in North East, MD.  Unfortunately, it was cloudy all weekend (at least it didn't rain like last year!) but we still had fun, listened to some great speakers and ate lots of food!  And any time John is near the water, he's happy.  We used to sail down here when we had our sailboat!

We got a wee peek of the sun on Saturday evening:

Thanks for visiting today--enjoy it and be blessed!

Sandy Cove's motto is "Jesus Never Fails".  

 God never fails anyone. It is he who called you to belong to his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
