Happy Hump Day Everyone!!  I hope you are all having a great week!!  Today it is time for another fun Whiff of Joy Challenge!!!  This week's challenge is a fun one: "Strawberries and cream"!!!

When I think of Strawberries and cream, I think of red or pink, and a very vanilla color....so this is what I came up with...I decided to make a cheer up or thinking of you gift set for a friend.




I used the adorable Henry Hugging Heart from Whiff of Joy which I colored with copics.  The designer paper is Prima English Rose.  I added some Making Memories pink gingham ribbon (tied with the bow easy) and some lace.  The mouse is layered on a Spellbinders Lacey circles.  The sentiment in the pocket is cut out with a spellbinders heart.  The sentiment is from Our Daily Bread Designs Mini Tags 3

This gift box is my own design and does not follow a template...

 Happy Monday Everyone!! I hope you had a great weekend!!  They go so fast.  I  did not get nearly as much done as I would have liked since I had a migraine.  Oh well....I also was unable to blog etc. as a result.  It was a forced break.

Since it is the first Monday in June, it is time for a new challenge at Stamp and Create!!!
This month's challenge is easy peasy.  Since most schools are letting out and it is the beginning of summer vacation for most, we are challenging you to a summer creation.
**You are welcome to use any stamp for our challenges, but please make sure to adhere to the challenge theme and mention our challenge in your post**

There is no product spotlight this week but THERE IS A SALE!!!!  That's right, you can get 10% off you entire order by using the discount code "Summer"!! at checkout!

Now...time for my take on the "Summer" challenge!!


I used the darling image A Blossom for You from Belles N Whistles to great card with a treat box attached.  The sentiment is computer generated.  The gift bag is filled with chocolate covered sunflower seeds.
In addition to using the stamp from the Stamp and Create store, I also used orchid fairytale roses, the bow easy and Kaisercraft "Pearl" Pearls. The other flowers were from Wild Orchids and from Whimsy stamps(pink cherry blossoms and cream cherry blossoms).  The dp is from K and Co. Sera Lera.

Happy Sunday Everyone!! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and that the weather is nice. It is so nice to be home and have a chance to get some things done yesterday.  Today is a day to relax!!!

Today it is also time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge!!  This week's host is the "Lovely" Linda!!

Linda chose the verse:


A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. John 13:34-35

What better way to show the love we have for our Lord than to show love to others.  God gave us the greatest example of love when He sent His one and only Son into the world to die for us that while we were yet sinners, he could give us eternal life!!!  What Grace and Love!!!  We did not deserve it but yet He extended His love to us. God commands us to show our love toward Him by extending it to others.  Not just to our family and friends but everyone....our enemies, the elderly, the crippled, the blind, the drunk, the princesses and princes, the unGodly....everyone.

By extending our love as Christians, others may see we are Christians and may want the saving faith as well!!


Linda has challenged us to:
Use something new on your project - it can be a new product, technique, embellishment - even a colour combo that is new for you - show us what you got!!

This week's sponsor is Clear Dollar Stamps!!
Here is my creation using a New stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs-Time and Each Minute!!


The clock is so fun to use!!  I had fun adding some clock hands from Tim Holtz.  This sentiment is perfect for a birthday card.  I had to add some elegant lace and ribbon.  The shape is using the Grand Labels One die from Spellbinders (cut out with the Grand Caliber).  The dp is from Prima English Rose dp pack.
