Here is my creation with the new set Happy Retirement from Our Daily Bread Designs:




Today I am sharing a tag pop up card that I created.  The image is colored with copics.  The sides of the tag are distressed and antiqued with Tim Holtz Antique Linen. I created this card to have a more masculine feel.





Card Recipe:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs- Happy Retirement
Paper: Prima Printerie, Black CS
Accessories: Stampin up Large Oval and Scalloped oval punch (for "relax" sentiment), 1 3/8 circle punch from Stampin Up, shells, Black hemp, raffia, Tim Holtz Antique Linen, copics


My second creation is one I made for this past week's "No Designer Paper" Challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs Shining the Light challenge using Dream (also from this month's new release).

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.

I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation!  Have a blessed day!! Off to work I go..... hugs and blessings,
