Walk In God's Beauty and Love!

Hi, everyone!  Happy Saturday to you!  Today's Inspiration Challenge over at Splitcoast Stampers is to find an item from the Monsoon store for your inspiration.  I chose this beautiful cherry blossom print blouse to help me create this birthday card for my neice who is into Asian designs right now.  The branches and flowers are from the Spellbinders Cherry Blossom die set, the frame is called "Japanese Lace  & Flourish Frame", and the sentiment is from "Sentiments Collection 1" by Our Daily Bread designs.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Rustic Barn Birthday

Hi, everyone!  This week's Featured Stamper over at Splitcoast is Heidi Baks aka hlw966.......congrats, Heidi!  I chose this card to re-create from her fabulous gallery.  I loved the simple layout with minimal layers and a wonderful scene.  For this masculine birthday card, I have used the "Barn" image from North Coast Creations and the sentiment is from "Find Beauty", also from NCC.  The image was stamped in black onto kraft cardstock, colored with markers, edges sponged, matted, then paper pierced.

Thanks for visiting!

God bless!

Saturday Stamping....my Fave!!

Happy Saturday, everyone!!!  Saturday morning is my most favorite time to stamp, since I don't have to go to work (yay!) and also because I LOVE to play along with the Inspiration Challenge at Splitcoast.  Today's challenge is to find an item from the Winter Water Factory store......I really like the crisp navy and white design of this adorable dress, so I created a birthday card with the "Fishing Net Background" and "The Waves on the Sea" stamps from Our Daily Bread designs.

Also this morning, I created a card using the pine branch from the "ODBD Fancy Foliage" die set as a tree.....I love using stamps and dies in ways which they were not originally intended!  I love getting the most out of every stamping tool I own!  Though I'm a bit late, this card is for the Featured Stamper Challenge from last Sunday.....Joyce aka ashjoy has a fabulous gallery and I fell in love with this super cute card.  The scripture verse I have used is from the "Pickles" set.  The designer papers I used are both from the Prima "Sunkiss" 6x6 pack.....I love the country feel to it!

Thanks for visiting with me today!

Have a very blessed weekend!!

'Unfrogettable' Name Frame and Card

Hi, everyone! Today's Friday Free 4 All Challenge is all about "dots"....though I haven't used polka dots, the toad stools have plenty of dots instead. This is a baby shower gift and card.

For the nameframe, I used Stampin Up' Headline Alphabet' and 'Unfrogettable'.  The designer paper is SU also, but has been retired for many years.....I'll be sad when my stash runs out!


For the card, I combined the 'Unfrogettable' set with a sentiment from the Our Daily Bread designs 'Noah's Ark' set.

Pool Time Buford

Hi, everyone!  I took a vacation day today....just because.....so I spent the morning stamping....ahhhhh!!  I had a blast making this birthday card for my nephew.   This super cute stamp is "Pool Time Buford" from North Coast Creations......their line of Crazy Critter stamps are so fun!!  The sentiment is from another NCC set, "Heaven's Masterpiece".  I have used the Sketch Challenge and Ways To Use It "Sun Rays" Challenge from Splitcoast Stampers. 

The designer paper is Basic Grey "Lauderdale" and the scene was sponged using masking and scratch paper.

Thanks for stopping by today!

"Gazebo" Get Well Card

Hi, everyone!  Today I would like to share a get well card which I made for my Aunt Sarah, who has recently had some health issues.  Just wanted to show her how much I love her and that I'm praying for her.

I have used the "Gazebo" image by North Coast Creations.  The shaped card was cut out with a Spellbinders Grand Scalloped Circle Die, then layered with a Circle Nestabilities die.  I will be submitting this card for the Dynamic Duos Challenge, which is to use Blushing Bride and Pistachio Pudding.

Thanks for visiting!
