Good Tuesday morning!  Since today is the last day of the month, that means it is time for the Crafter's of Faith!  This month our fearless leader Kelly,sent us each a darling little kit with which to build our card.   The image is from CC Designs and is called Butterfly Nora.  She is a cutie, don't you think! I colored her with koh-i-noor pencils and blended with mineral spirits. (I just love those pencils.)  DSP by Colorbok.  I loved the colors in my little kit!  I added a bit of glitter glue to Nora's little wings, Prima flowers compliment the DSP colors.  

Please take time to pop in on the other girls from the Crafter's of Faith group.  You will find their names on my sidebar.  We are a talented group of ladies!!  Have a wonder filled day!! Blessings!

Happy Friday in blogland!  Life has been mighty busy and full these last few weeks.  I finally got a bit of time to play with paper.  My photo was taken outside in the late afternoon, I seem to be in between thunderstorms this week. 

Pretty simple, straight-forward card.  I embossed glossy paper with several different folders, then punched them with a square punch, then rounded the  corners.  The lavender heart was cut free-hand and embossed also.  It is difficult to see the "cherish" that is stamped on glossy and cut with a nestie.  Ribbon is Stampin'Up!, as well as the cardstock I used.  Rhinestones are from Craft Warehouse $1 bin.

Have a wonderful weekend!  Blessings!

Happy Monday, All!  I managed to get a bit of stamping done this past weekend.  It felt pretty good!  Today's card is a simple one, I used Upsy Daisy from SU, stamped in Tuxedo Black from Memento. The pattern paper I used is from DCWV, all other cardstock and the butterfly are also from Stampin' Up!     Simple, simple card. You can never have too many Thank You cards on hand.

Have a wonderful day!

Crafters of Faith June Challenge

Good Sabbath morning to all!  Today is the last day of the month and that means it is time of our Crafters of Faith Challenge to be shared. Our awesome hostess, Liz D asked us to create a card or scrapbook page that is full of summer fun.  We needed to include something blue, something raised with pop dots, a sun and a summer or beach toy......Well, this is what I came up with.  I'm still trying to like it.  :o(

Recipe: Cardbase-Stampin' Up!, DCWV supplied the stock I used for layering as well as the pattern paper. The blingage on the flip flops came fro Craft Warehouse $1 bin (love it!!)

I was able to get most of the elements in, I don't have beach toys sort of stamps with me here.  The inside of the card is blank, so I can use this for a Thank You or Thinking of You.  I like to have a few "empty" cards, sometimes you need one just because.
Enjoy you day, hope it is filled with sunshine, love and hugs!!  Be Blessed!

Another Birthday Card

Happy Tuesday!  My card today is for my wonderful son-in-law, Jim.  He is truly a gift, he takes such good card of our daughter and their three kids.  I wanted a masculine card and this image from Free Digital Vintage Stamps fit the bill.

Cardstock is from Stampin' Up, as is the green marker I used to color on the car.  Pattern paper is from a paper pack I received from my sister, Terri a few years ago.  I used my Scor-Pal to make diagonal lines in each corner, the photo makes this hard to see, but it looks great when you meet this card in person. The pearls in corners are from Craft Warehouse.

Thank you for stopping by today!  Be blessed!

Happy Birthday, Jay-meister man!

Happy Tuesday!  My card today is for another grandson, Jay.  He is six years old today.  He is a pretty active guy, so I thought a skateboarding dude would work for him.  This card will go with his present on Sunday when we go to his party. (Becky, no fair showing him the card before the party....)....(jk-I know you won't!)

Card base is from Stampin' Up!, as is the blue embossed layer.  The image is also from SU, from several years ago.  Patterned paper is from DCWV.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Be blessed!

May Flowers-Crafter's of Faith

Happy last day of May!  My card today is for the Crafter's of Faith group I belong to.  The awesome Patti was our hostess this month and she asked that we create a card with a "May Basket" theme.

  My May basket is a hanging basket.  The "basket" is embossed with an SU folder and then cut with large scalloped square nestie.  The flowers were cut from some paper that I have been carting around for a VERY long time.  Background paper is from Stampin' Up! also.  The basket is hanging with a cord I crocheted and is held in place with a small brad from JoAnn's. 


Be sure to check out the other girls' creations.  We are a talented and blessed group of ladies!  Thanks so much for stopping in today.  Big BLESSINGS!!
