Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are all having a great beginning to your weekend!!  My hubby and I are trying hard to organize our basement and attic...so much to do to unpack the remainder of our belongings but we are getting closer...Woohoo!!  Soon I may be able to organize all my crafts too!!  Oh how nice it will be to know where everything is!


Anywho..today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs using a sneak peek of "Dream" to be released on May 1.

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! Thanks to everyone who sent words of encouragement and well wishes when I was not feeling well last week.  It was greatly appreciated.  Thankfully I am feeling much better.  Not 100% yet but better.

Today I would like to share a card I made that I plan to use as a thank you card to a friend.  The sentiment is from the recent release at Our Daily Bread Designs called Francis of Assisi.  The designer paper is Basic Grey Wisteria (one of my faves!!)  The sentiment is framed with Ornate Artisan Tags and Accents.  The panels are cut with Spellbinders Long Classic and Scalloped Rectangles. The lavender silk bow is made with May Arts Lavender Silk ribbon and the bow easy.



Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation! 

Have a blessed day!!

Happy Saturday everyone!! Today is going to be a quick post sharing this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs since I am not feeling well.  I think it is the flu and I have had it for a few days now.  The only thing I feel like doing is lying in bed....I kind of look as sorry as the dog on my card today.  LOL!

Anywho.....

Happy Thursday Everyone!!  I have been busy unpacking and trying to set up the house but occasionally I find a need a break and making cards with the few materials I have available to me is a welcome break.

I saw the color challenge at Splitcoaststampers on Tuesday and had to play along.  The CC371 color challenge was to use white, basic grey and sahara sand.  Since I had only dp with Vanilla, however, I altered the colors to include Sahara Sand, Basic Grey and Very Vanilla instead of white. I made this card for my dd's who have been having a difficult time adjusting  since we moved and who really want a pet kitten. I planned to give this to them when we actually give them the kitten. The stamp set I used is called Cat Sympathy from Our Daily Bread Designs. The designer paper is Bella Bleu (retired Stampin Up Paper). The image is framed with the Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangles. Card Recipe: Stamps: Cat Sympathy from Our Daily Bread Designs. paper: Bella Bleu (retired Stampin Up Paper), very vanilla, sahara sand, basic grey accessories: May Arts Wrinkled ribbon, Spellbinders Fleur De Lis Rectangles, Bow Easy Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation!  Have a blessed day!! Off to work I go..... hugs and blessings,

Happy Tuesday all!  Sorry I have not been posting much but I am still trying to unpack and get settled in here in Virginia.  Seems like there is so much to do!!!  I had to take a short break and play with my stamps....


 I saw yesterday's sketch at Splitcoast Stampers for the CAS challenge and although I have limited supplies (since most items are still packed after our move two weeks ago),  I had to play along! I don't usually do CAS since I love to add stitching. The movers, however, dropped my sewing machine and it broke. It will be a while before I can stitch again.

For my card I used the new release Paw Prints and Dog Sympathy from Our Daily Bread Designs. The paper is Neenah White which I embossed with Provocraft Spots. The image is colored with copics and cut out with Spellbinders Ovals and Lacey Ovals.  I also incorporated this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD (using 3 letters from the word S-P-R-I-N-G).  S- is for sketch, P is for Paw Prints, R- is for Ribbon,  I- is for Ink, n- is for Nestabilities, and G- is for Green.

Have a blessed day!!




Off to do some more unpacking, painting, and working outdoors......

Happy Saturday all!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend!  Today we are taking a break from the unpacking of the house to work on the outside since the weather is going to be so beautiful.  I just love landscaping and working in the garden so it will be a fun break.

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs.  It has been a while since I could join the talented team.  I have missed it tremendously!

Anywho....

Hi All!! It has been quite a while since I last posted here.  We are now in our new home but still have a lot to do to unpack and get settled.  It has now been a week...We love the house but still have a lot to get used to moving 500 miles away.  All in time....


Anywho...today I am popping in to share one of the darling new sets at Our Daily Bread Designs.  I have missed my stamps but after not playing with them for so long I feel mojoless.  It may take a bit to get myself retrained. LOL!


The set I used for my card is Cat Sympathy (an ODBD stamp set).  While a lot of the sentiments are great for sending to a friend who has lost their dear pet friend, it is such a darling image for any occasion.  The designer paper is not really paper, it is material.  I found it at Hobby Lobby prior to our move.  The image is colored with copics.  The die to frame the image is a Spellbinders Floral Ovals.  The ribbon is May Arts Silk tied with the bow easy.

Happy Saturday Everyone!! I hope you are having a great weekend!!

With fall coming up this week, the Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs is challenging you to use fall colors or a fall theme!!


Here is my take on the challenge:






For my creation, I used the Seeds and the Garden Tag Releases from the Our Daily Bread Designs September release.  The image is from the Garden Tag set and is colored with copics.  The quote  is from the Seeds set and is cut out with the Spellbinders Grommet Tags Trio.  This gift box uses the Pop n Top Template which is available as an SVG or PNG. file from Perfect Presentations and some Basic Grey Curio dp.
