Twinkles Glow with Stamps

Happy Tuesday!! I hope all is well with you all!!  Life has been busy but great!!  My parents have been visiting for the past week and we have been having a great time together.  Unfortunately they leave today.  I will truly miss having them here!!!!  I am so blessed to have such special parents and I thank God for the time we have had together. Now...I get to look forward to the next time.

Today I am popping in to share a sneak peek of two stamp sets: Fishing and The Waves on the Sea, to be released tomorrow at Our Daily Bread Designs, and this week's Shining the Light challenge which is to Needle it!!!

The dp I used is some new My Mind's Eye paper I bought from Michaels. The borders on my image/sentiment panel is cut with the Spellbinders On the Edge dies.  Instead of sewing I decided to pierce...making it more masculine.

Happy Thursday Friends!! I hope all is well with you all!!  I am blessed to have my parents here for a vist!!  Life has been busy but fun!!!  I am so cherishing the time we are spending together!!!

Today I would like to pop in share a card I created.

I just had to break away from my more feminine cards to make a masculine birthday card for my dear hubby's birthday next week. Hopefully he likes it....





For my card I used Waves on the Sea and Fishing Net Background to be released on May 1 from Our Daily Bread Designs as well as The Mighty Sea 

The background is embossed with SU basket weave. For some added texture, I added burlap.  The top of the banner panel is embossed with soft swirls from Provocraft.

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

Have a great day!! Thanks to all who leave comments, I so enjoy your kind words.  They make my day!!

blessings,

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

  This week's challenge is:
Use Scripture and nature in your creation.

Here is my creation using Morning Glory which coordinates with Spellbinders Labels 26. I used Labels 26, Labels 1, and Decorative Labels 1 to layer my card. Two of my layers are embossed with a Darice Embossing folder.








Here is the stamp set used as well as the coordinating die:

Happy Friday all!!! I hope everyone has had a great weekend and is ready for the weekend!! I know I sure am.  

Life has been crazy here in Virginia with the changes in schedule I have been going through but it sure helps to have had this beautiful weather that no matter how tired I am the sunny weather gives me a sunny disposition and more energy!! I thank God for the change in seasons and the miracles he has bestowed upon us with the new life in Spring!! Spring is my favoritie season as you see the flowers bud and open, plants sprout, leaves begin pop, and the changing colors!!

Today I am popping in to share a card that to me evokes some of the bright colors of Spring.

For my creation, I used the stamp sets Finch Collage and Hymn Collage recently released  at Our Daily Bread Designs. 

The image panel is embossed with Stampin Up Basket Weave since it reminds me of Aida Cloth and gives it a more vintage flair. The background is embossed with Darice Damask. Some of my image is cut out and popped up on dimensionals.

When I see this sentiment, I think of the verse "Look at the birds of the air.... your heavenly Father feeds them, aren't you much more valuable then they."  Matthew 6 :26.  

A great reminder to not worry but trust in God's provision.  A reminder I need often!!!!
Here is a photo of the stamp sets used:

Happy Tuesday all!! I hope you all are doing well!!!  

Today I am popping in to share this week's Shining the Light challenge at Our Daily Bread Designs!!!

  This week's challenge is:
Use Scripture or Hymns on your creation

For my creation I used Scripture Collection 11 and  Hymn Collage from Our Daily Bread Designs.  The flowers and ribbon along the edge was colored with copics and then cut out and layered on top of the base.  I embossed the background with a Basket Weave embossing folder to give it a more vintage flair.
