Good Morning!!! It is Friday!! Woo hoo! Tomorrow the girls and I go to the Bronx Zoo in the City with a bunch of friends so I won't get the time to clean my house or stamp like I would like but we will have FUN! The girls have gone to smaller zoos but no bigger ones so this will be exciting for them!
Sorry about my absence yesterday. I feel like I am running in a million different directions. Oh well....this too shall pass, right? Since I didn't post yesterday, I am going to share three cards with you!
The first card is a card for a sneak peek of the Quite Waters set to be released from Our Daily Bread Designs on June 1. I used the TLC222 Hinge card challenge, Mojo Monday Sketch, Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge to use sponging ( my sky is sponged), and the color challenge to use Bashful Blue, and Pumpkin Pie and So Saffron. I made it for a dear friend who just found out she had breast cancer and went for surgery this week. I am very happy to say she had a lumpectomy, is home and is doing well. I hope this card gives her some comfort during the next few months as she has radiation treatments. She had a 3 year old and 5 year old that she also has to care for.
CARD RECIPE
Paper: Haiku, Very Vanilla, So Saffron, Bitter Chocolate, and water color paper
Accessories: MS Classic Butterfly Punch, Spellbinders Flower Die. Brown grossgrain ribbon, Sewing machine, hodgepodge hardware
The second card I made for a friend who wanted a birthday card for her brother in law. She had only a few requests: 1. That it had a football player on it. 2. That it had a picture of an Aardvark on it and 3. It had to be sewn. That was a real challenge in itself because I am not a football fan and I think Aardvarks are possibly the ugliest creature out there. I used the SC230 Sketch on SC, the Challenge at Creative Inspirations to make a male card and the WT220 challenge to use buttons as well.
Although football is not my thing, isn't Ian just so cute!!! I colored him with copics and embossed the helmet and football. All the design paper is Riding Hood Red dp from Stamping Up. I used the Cuttlebug Circles embossing folder for the texture behind the image. Since I really thought the aardvark was ugly, I made it so it was a hinge under the sentiment so it could be covered up and hidden. When I give it to my friend, it will be open but in the meantime he is hidden. LOL!

Card 2 Recipe:
Stamps: Greeting Farm Ian
Paper: Riding Hood Red, Black and White CS, Riding Hood Red DP
Accessories: buttons, Riding Hood Red Ribbon, Oval punches, brad, EK Success Punch, sewing machine, Circle Embossing Folder
The third card is one that I made for the SC230 sketch at Splitcoast and the OCCC challenge to use a sentiment as the focal point. The paper is Bella Bleu DP from Stampin Up. I featured several items from Our Daily Bread Designs including: EK Success Fleur De Lis Punch, MS Butterfly Punch, Prima flowers, Hero Art Pearls and the sneek Peak of Our Daily Bread Designs- Ask Seek Knock stampset to be released on Monday, June 1. I have tried to put the links on all the above to the areas in the ODBD store but my computer is being a real nuisance today!! Sorry! They can all be found here under stampsets, prima , pearls, and punches. The lock embellishment is a Tim Holtz Lock Embellishment pack.

What a group of beauties!
Just love the Ian card...a great take on the SC!
The mix of stamps on the second it so neat!
But easily my fav is the first one...this would take me a whole week to make! Love the design and esp. that stitching!
Hope you have a safe and fun trip to the zoo - cleaning can wait!! (I know!)
The details in your cards are amazing Chris - the first one is particularly beautiful. You put so much time and work into each of them and it shows...I love those verses too!
WOW Chris, your creations are over the top gorgeous!! Love the beautiful details in your hinge card, the football player is too cute!! ;) TFS!!
WOW,all brilliant cards,I love them all and your colouring is perfect!!! Enjoy your trip to the zoo.

Love all three of these Chris but must say the first one has stolen my heart lol. I am not a sports fan but this little fella looks great and the colours are fab and the third card is also a favourite that sentiment is wonderful have a fab day at the zoo tomorrow.

Ok, Chris, do you get tired of the word gorgeous! Well, until I check my dictionary and come up with a synonym, that's what I'll have to call your creations! LOL
The hinged quiet waters is so lovely and surely provide comfort with God's word inside and out!
Love the colors of the brown/cream...elegant! And your football card turned out terrific! Hiding that aardvark was so clever...made me laugh!
Have a great zoo day!
Blessings, Maria

All your cards are beautiful. They all look like something I would frame and hang up. I'd need a huge house for that! Just gorgeous.
The Bronx Zoo! WOW! That and the Central Park Zoo used to be my favorite way back when! Have a grand ol time!
Hugs,
Your cards are always so amazing, Chris! These are all three wonderful! Love the scalloped stitching you added to the first one. Too clever how you hid the aardvark! Gorgeous job on the SCS sketch!!
All your cards are gorgeous, super job. HUgs Cindy xxoo
The woodland scene on your first card is lovely. What an interesting hinge feature too. The football boy is a cutie on that fun red patterned paper. And I like the keyhole embellishment on the last card that goes with your sentiment.
Fantastic selection of cards Chris! Your details are all so amazing (especially the cleverly hidden aardvark!!). Really love the keyhole on the last card - adds the perfect touch! Have fun at the zoo tomorrow!
Hugs, Danielle
These are ALL awesome cards....but oh my word, the main image on that first ODB card just POPS against the yellow and orange backgrounds. LOVELY!

Awesome cards as always Chris! They're all lovely but I LOVE that football one! My oldest is into that sport and that image would look great on a scrapbook page!! tfs!!!!!
I really enjoyed all your cards. The colouring on the first card is absolutely breathtaking......the little football guy the sweetest and I love the rustic elegance of your third card!!!!
Vicki
All 3 are terrific! I think my favorite is the football card, although I have to agree the aardvark is just not pretty, lol. But I love all the stitching you have done....I strive to use a machine like you do! Hope you have a GREAT time at the zoo....our zoo is not huge but it's always a fun time....the Bronx Zoo has got to be amazing...hope you take some pictures!
OMG, so many beautiful cards... I love your work and I enjoy your cards... TFS! Happy day for you Chris! Hugs Silke

I love your Ian card. The dps are awesome and you colored him so beautifully. Your third card is also a work of art. I love the sentiment. . .such a nice scripture. I love the monochromatic look to it.
I hear ya' about being busy! Life can get busy. Hope you have fun at the zoo!!

What wonderful card you made for your friends. I wish your friend well with her BC treatments. Enjoy your day at the Zoo.

Three fantastic cards Chris!!! Sorry you've had to fight with your computer so much and hope it improves. I will be praying for your friend and I'm sure she'll adore this card!
Wow! Fabulous cards! I love your hinged card! Its so pretty! And I really love your football card. You did the same thing as I did with the sketch challenge: used a pack of dp from SU! I used the bashful blue pack. I thought it was the only way to make the busy sketch work.
