#TGIFC301 ~ Buffalo Check, Dragonfly Garden, Stampin Up

Today was a nice day.  I finally was able

to sleep pretty well last night, and even

though the morning was difficult, which

it usually is.  I had a lovely day with hubby. 

I even managed to make us dinner and supper. 

That's a grand accomplishment.  I usually am only

good for one meal preparation a day.  

I sound like I'm complaining, but please know I'm 

just sharing, because truly it was good day.  

I even got to play with my new stamp set. 

I love it.  It worked perfectly with the plaid.

So I will submit this card to the challenge at:

TGIF

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Buffalo Check

Stampin Up:  Dragonfly Garden 

This card was a delight to make.  I think dragonflies 

are magnificently beautiful. I looked up what they 

symbolize and there are a lot of different meanings,

but I chose this one:  

The dragonfly symbolizes wisdom, 

change, transformation, light and 

adaptability in life. It shows up in people's lives

 to remind them that they need to bring

 a lightness and joy to their life.

After stamping the buffalo check, I decided to use 

it on the side, and finish it off with a ribbon.  I then 

stamped the flowers and fussy cut them out.  The 

dragon fly was stamped and  for the wings I sponged

two colors on the stamp before stamping on the cardstock. 

Turned out pretty cute.

FUSION - Flowers~ Hydrangea Haven, Swirly Frames, Bokeh Dots, Stampin Up

I made this card for the challenge at:

Fusion

It took a few times to get this just the way I 

wanted it.   Trial and error, that apparently 

is my stamping technique. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Hydrangea Haven

Stampin Up:  Swirly Frames

Stampin Up:  Bokeh Dots 

I added a bazillion little dazzling diamonds 

to the hydrangea.  Well, a bazillion  is quite

 the exaggeration, but there are a lot. 

I really like the colors of this card.

SSC249 WARM HEARTS~ Hey Girlfriend, Stampin up

I made this delightful card for the challenge at:

Sunday Stamps

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Hey Girlfriend 

I don't know if it's my eyes going wonky, but 
I had such a hard time with the colors, I had to 

ask my husband.  I kept thinking the bottom 

color was brown, but he assured me it was like 

a deep cranberry, so hence the dark cardstock

behind the vanilla, then I chose the red, gold,

and gray to color in the young lady. 

I think this new set is adorable.   I  drew in 

the heart and then added some dimensionals  to the 

little lady to pop her up a bit. 

Pretty cute. 

I'm also including a picture of my rubber tree,

we have a new leaf on board.  Yay.   Sad to say

that my prayer plant is not doing as well, if you

have any tips or suggestions please let me know.

FMS470~ A Touch Of Ink, Stampin up, Thinking of You

I made this card to enter in the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  A Touch of Ink 

I love the absolute simplicity of this card.

To create the illusion of another dimension.  I 

used my ruler to draw in the black line.  I'm 

not to swift with a ruler, but we got the job done.  

I'm so excited my husband has a day off of work 

tomorrow.  YAY.   My life consists of my dog,

my books, Bible study and stamping, so to 

have him home for the day will be a delight. 

I thought I'd share a picture of my buddy. 

He loves his toys.

Sketch #405~ So Sentimental, Gorgeous, Posies, Stampin up, Happy Anniversary

Such a delightful sketch to play along with, and just 

in the nick of time.  Because I wanted to make a 

lovely card for my Daughter and Son-in-law's 

Anniversary tomorrow.  

It will be 3 years that they are married now.  What 

a pleasure and blessing it is to watch them 

grow together more in love and dependence 

on each other. 

Their winter wedding was magical. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  So Sentimental 

Stampin Up:  Gorgeous Posies 

The red paper is actually the wrapping paper

my daughter wrapped my Christmas gift in.  

I loved it so much I knew I could find another

use for it.

PP525~ Parisian Beauty, Mediterranean Moments, Stampin Up

Well, my goodness.  This card took on a mind 

of it's own, this is no way even close 

to the idea I had in my mind.  But I tossed 

what I thought aside and just went where

the creativity took me.  

I had envisioned a lovely anniversary card

for my daughter and son-in-law.  

But the next thing you know I was cutting 

and pasting and stamping a scene. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Parisian Beauty

Stampin Up:  Mediterranean Moments  

I turned it into a window card.   I even 

impressed myself with how well it turned out.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

The Paper Players

I think it is so cool that the inside is 

actually the view on the front of the card. 

This was a fun sketch to work with, and being 

I turned the front into a window card, 

I kept the challenge sketch intact.

FMS469 Rise & Shine, Label me Bold, Stampin up, Encouragement Card

Well, apparently I've stirred up quite an upset

on an instagram post.   I probably should have 

kept my mouth quiet, but I did not, and the 

amount of hateful comments, particular from 

one person, wowza.  I was not prepared for it,

however, I'm sticking to my guns, and won't back down. 

This person even trolled on over to my instagram

and bashed me there to tell me how God is ashamed of me. 

Some people are just very hurtful.  Any ways, just 

going to move on, and let it go.  Not going to waste

time thinking over such nonsense.  I have cards to 

make.  And this one here I will submit to the challenge 

at:  Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Rise & Shine

Stampin Up:  Label Me Bold 

I love the little speckled background, reminds me 

of confetti.  

I had to carry it on to the inside of the card as well. 

I started off thinking this was going to be a Valentine

card, and somehow it turned into an encouragement 

card instead.    Nevertheless we can all use a little

pick me up note, perhaps because I was feeling a bit

beat down on instagram, encouragement was on my mind.

I added some wink of stella to the steam, and used 

a bit too heavy of a hand while applying, but that

is ok, it will dry nicely, and give a grand shimmer. 

Oh, also if you'd like to join the fun you can follow me on

instagram too.  pjs.projects 

It really is fun.  I don't get many likes but I keep trying.  

Some cards get hundreds and hundreds, it's so impressive.

I'm not everyone's "cup of tea"  in the card department.  haha

Week 382: UNITE ~ Dove of Hope, Stampin Up

I made this card today for the challenge at:

CASology

 

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Dove of Hope  

I'm so happy I purchased this set, it was a 

last minute decision, but it is one of my 

favorites now.  I Love it. 

For some reason the cue card word just 

spoke peace to my heart, to unite in peace.  

In fact while making this card I had Christmas 

music playing again.  That is always peaceful. 

I love the simplicity of this card.  I added a bit

of clear wink of stella to the dove for a bit of sparkle. 

I'm happy to say I received and Etsy order 2 days ago, 

and just today I was blessed with a stampin up order.  

Oh Happy Day.   That is so exciting.  THANK You.  

to my sweet customers.
