Good morning to you! It's time for another challenge at Cardz 4 Galz! Our theme is "backgrounds" which opens up soooo many possibilities!!
My last couple of weeks have been very busy with work, travel, and graduations, so I was happy to find a BG that I had created a couple of months ago just waiting to be used! :)
Here's my card...
I had colored the background with some water color pencils. I didn't add any water, so you can see it was just colored and not blended, but I liked it. I added a BG stamp to it. This is Neat & Tangles Punchinella stamped with Memento Bamboo Leaves. My flower is Hero Arts Mum Stem colored with my Spectrum Noir markers. The sentiment is from The Project Bin Defined cut out with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants. I know that I recently made a similar card with this stamp and sentiment, but I have many friends who need this encouragement right now!
Please come over and join us at Cardz 4 Galz!! Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Christmas is getting closer and closer!! :) And to help us prepare, it's time for another challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge! Our theme this month is "holly and/or ivy."
I've got some holly on my card...
My main panel is Scrapbook Customs Christmas Watercolor DP. I cut Yvonne Creations Holly Jolly Music Border die in black, then red and green and trimmed the birds and holly. I added used my Wink of Stella pen on the holly for some shimmer. (See closeup below.) My heat embossed sentiment is Neat & Tangled Joyful Sentiments.
Maybe it's my laptop or my eyesight, but this looks kind of blah on my computer, but I really am pleased with how it turned out IRL.
Hello! Thanks for visiting my blog today!
Today, I've got a card for our challenge over at Cardz 4 Galz. Our theme for this challenge is "use two or more designer papers." For my card, I dug in my stash and found a pad that I've had forever and found a few pages I still liked. (Am I the only one who uses up all the "pretty" pages and leaves the pad with a few left just sitting there? LOL)
My DP is MME Paris & Co. Even the polka dot strip that looks like ribbon is DP. My image and sentiment are Neat & Tangled "Have Courage." My flower was stamped on a plain piece from the same paper pad, I colored it just a little with a marker for depth, and dry embossed it with CB Swiss Dots. (After it was all together, I wished I had stamped the flower and sentiment in brown rather than black, but too late now.)
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!
Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! In case you were wondering from the title if there's a baby boy in my future... no, there is not. No more kids for me, and no grandkids on the way.
This was a special card to make, though. Our church connected with a crisis pregnancy center and two of our adult Sunday School classes joined together to have a baby shower for 2 young women who are in difficult circumstances but who chose life for their babies. I made this card for the young women expecting a boy. What a blessing to help these young ladies and the new life growing inside them and to see how touched and appreciative they were!

Happy Tuesday to you! It's time for Tuesday Morning Sketches! I've not had as much craft time lately as I would like, but I know Christmas is coming quickly, so I try to make a Christmas card each week. (Even though I don't share them all on here.) So here is my most recent...
My DP is Graphic 45 Christmas Carol. My musical banner is Memory Box Virtuoso Music die. My sentiment is Neat & Tangled Joyful Sentiments. The adhesive dots are from the Paper Studio.
The sentiment is a phrase from "O Holy Night" which is pretty much my favorite Christmas Carol. I've been singing it to myself the whole time I created this card. :)
Here's our sketch...
Hope you try it, have fun with it, and share it with us at Tuesday Morning Sketches!
