A string of ornaments - CCC #20


Happy Sunday to you!  It's time for Christmas Card Challenges!


My card is pretty simple.  It's flat and mail friendly!!  None of my family lives near me, so flat/mailable is important!  But I love layers and embellishments, too, so this can be a challenge.  To me, without more of that, this is still missing something.  Maybe if I had embossed the ornaments?  Oh well, too late now.

Supplies...
Die-namics Christmas Ornaments
Crate Paper Peppermint DP
Sweet n Sassy Old-Fashioned Christmas clear sentiment


This week's {optional} photo inspiration is colorful glass ornaments...



Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Cancer is so limited...


I've got a pretty card to share today, but I wish I never had to make this kind... it's for a friend battling cancer.  This is actually the third card like this that I have made and sent recently. :(
But I really love the truth of the verse on it! 


In case you can't read it in the pic...

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple Love.
It cannot shatter Hope.
It cannot corrode Faith.
It cannot eat away Peace.
It cannot destroy Confidence.
It cannot kill Friendship.
It cannot shut out Memories.
It cannot silence Courage.
It cannot reduce Eternal Life.
It cannot Quench the Spirit.


Supplies...
My Time Made Easy "Be Supportive" sentiment (I LOVE this set! Click the name to see it.)
Spellbinders Radiant Rectangles
Memento Potter's Clay ink
Crate Paper "Farmhouse" DP
AC ribbon


Challenges...
Polkadoodles #31 - anything goes
Really Reasonable Ribbon #169 - anything goes w/ ribbon
Craftaholics R Us #30 - die cuts

Cut It Up #127 - friendship/must use dies (I think being there for a friend in the midst of their cancer battle is true friendship!)


Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!!

Hello - TMS #414


Happy Tuesday to you!  It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches!!  My card was pretty simple to put together, but some added touches give it character. 



This really is simple... 3 pcs cut with Spellbinders A2 Matting Basics, 2 embossing folders, a "hello" die, 3 giant brads, a ribbon scrap, and chalk sponged on the edges.  I love dry embossing!  It is my favorite and go-to technique.  Chalking the edges just brings it out a little. 


Here's our sketch for this week...




Our sponsor for this week is Pink and Main!  Wonderful company with awesome stamps and dies!




Challenges...
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - anything goes
Brown Sugar #261 - anything goes
Word Art Wednesday #292-#293 - anything goes (must have encouraging sentiment and be family friendly)
