Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Hump Day Friends!!  I hope you are enjoying the day as much as I am with the gorgeous weather!!  It is in the mid fifties here!  The sun is out which is a welcome change from the rainy, gloomy day yesterday!  It is amazing how the weather effects your attitude and your energy level.

Today I am popping in to share another sneak peek from Our Daily Bread Designs: Baking Gift Tags to be released from Our Daily Bread Designs on March 1. My card uses a sketch from Splitcoast.

Happy Monday Friends!! Today starts the beginning of a new week!!  I hope you are all blessed!!  Yesterday our entire family was baptized.  It was a once in a lifetime experience that we all will treasure.
It was also nice to spend the day after church with our family.  What a great start to a new week!!

Today I have two cards to share with you that I made for the month of February's Our Daily Bread Designs release that I have not yet had a chance to post....

The first is one I made with Earth's Gladdest Day from Our Daily Bread Designs.  While it is CAS, the image and sentiment make me happy as I think of Easter and Spring approaching.



My second creation  I used My Mind's Eye Lost and Found- Blush and Our Daily Bread Designs Chalkboard Birthday and Thank You . The ribbon is May Arts mauve silk ribbon.

Happy Friday All!! I am so happy for the weekend and that this weekend I get to have time with my dear hubby.  After him being laid off and being home all the time for almost three months, I became used to it and I so missed him this last week.  He had many very long days at work.  Tomorrow it will feel like we are back to normal...at least for the weekend!!  I am so happy though that he has found work and that he is happy!! God is good!!!

Here in Virginia, many schools have been closed and others have 2 hour delays due to ice.  Where is Spring?  Will it be here soon...it is here with me in my creations and mind.  LOL!!

For today's card, I used Our Daily Bread Designs Let The Earth Rejoice , Earth's Gladdest Day , crocheted border , and Chalkboard- hymns to make a springy card. The Designer paper is my Mind's Eye.

Hello Friends!! I don't know about you but boy am I ready for Spring!! The temperature here has been unseasonably COLD!!  Yesterday we woke up to 9 degrees...now in NY I expected that but not here in VA!!




I decided to make a card that was not too frilly for a couple rather than just plain feminine.  I used darker masculine colors but still added a couple flourishes and a bow.  I just love this little lamb from The Shepherd!!  I colored him with copics and sponged the background.  The lamb is framed with ODBD's Elegant Ovals.

The shape of the card uses Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles as does the inner  framing.  The inside of that frame was cut out and lattice was adhered on the inside using Spellbinders Lattice . Behind the lattice an old olive panel. The bow is Mauve May Arts Silk ribbon.  The flourishes are created using Cheery Lynn's Fanciful Flourish.

I also made this card, When I think of how Jesus died for me, I think of the Song Amazing Grace!!


I used this month's ODBD release Chalkboard- Amazing Grace . The paper is from Echo Park Vintage Collection. The border is created with Spellbinders Parisian Accents.

Happy Friday All!! I hope all are well!!

Today is another beautiful day here in Virginia....a tad hit cooler but the sun is shining!!  I am so in the mood for spring and the budding trees and flowers.  With that in mind, I had to share an Easter creation!!

For my card I used Our Daily Bread Designs: The Shepherd and Earth's Gladdest Day from Our Daily Bread Design's which will be released on Friday, February 1.

I also used a few embossing folders for some added texture from Darice and Stampin Up. The shape of the card uses the labels 23 die from Spellbinders.  The border die on the strip uses Spellbinders Floral Doily Accents

For my creation,....

 I used Fellowship Sentiments and Antique Label Designs from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The Antique Label Designs are cut out with the Antique Label and Border die.



The shape of the card uses Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangles as does the inner soft suede framing.  The inside of that frame was cut out and lattice was adhered on the inside using Spellbinders Lattice .  The bow is Mauve May Arts Silk ribbon.  The flourishes are created using Cheery Lynn's Fanciful Flourish.

The inside reads:
"God loves you and so do I."

Here are the sets and dies used from ODBD:
