Wildflower Path

This card came together in a whole 

different way that what I had originally intended. 

I'm still pleased with the finished look, but

goodness gracious it was a struggle.  

Of course I like the inside much better, just 

something simple and sweet about it. 

The DSP is a bit bold for the very 

delicate flower I stamped and cut out. 

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge

at: Freshly Made Sketches

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Wildflower Path 

HP giving one of his sweet little side looks, 

as he holds tight to his green pickle.  haha  

Matt 6:30 KJV

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which

to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he

not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

February Flower

I took one more try with the sketch at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Irresistible Blooms

Petal Park 

I  decided for the stripes to just color them

with my markers.  Do a little freehand 

creativity.  Instead of my last card with 

all the measuring (which I'm no good at)

I just scribbled away on this one.  

It seems a bit more springy, and after the load of snow

we got, I figured I'd try to think spring thoughts.  

I sort of like the rustic, elementary 

look of this card.  

I'm sharing a picture of my plant that 

is now blooming even if the snow is in

the backdrop.  haha 

Here's a picture of the little snowfall we

had this past week.  

This picture of HP is from a few nights ago.

We were all snuggled up watching tv. 

Isaiah 40:8 KJV

The grass withereth, the flower fadeth:

but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Christmas Moose

Of course I would make a Christmas card

in February, especially since it has a moose. 

It was also a lovely way to use some 

Christmas scrap DSP.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Merry Moose 

My husband had an Aunt who lived 

in Alaska, and she would write me, 

telling me about the moose she saw in 

her back yard.   How fabulous.  

I have a train yard.  haha.  

Speaking of trains, this train car had a whole

Christmas scene painted on it.  I thought

how fitting with the card I made. 

Of course when I went to get a better picture

another engine came down the line, blocking

this one.  So this is all I was able to get.  

Psalm 145:9 KJV

The LORD is good to all: and his tender

mercies are over all his works.

Carrot Card

I haven't had much of a chance to be

in my stamp room this past week.  

I had an eye appointment to which I was

very nervous about, and for good reason

apparently.  Things are just not going so 

smooth as one would hope, but such is life. 

I just told my kiddos, I'm going to keep

going and see as much as I can while I still 

can.  Same with everything, reading, stamping.  

Just going to keep living. and loving life. 

Even in the valley.  

So grateful for yesterday, we all got to hang out and

go to the train show. It was a delightfully fun time.  

Then we went to chick-fil-a which is a fun treat since

we don't have one were I live, and we love it.  

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Thanks a Bunch 

Those carrots are lovely to stamp.  However, 

I didn't know what to do with the little leaves,

so I just added an assortment of them.   I used 

the carrot lines for my grass behind the sentiment. 

Just gave it a garden sort of vibe.  

Gen 1:11KJV

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, 

the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, 

whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Sympathy Card

It's always sad when one has

to make a sympathy card.    I know it's part 

of life, but when it is a young person it 

just seems all the more heartbreaking.  

I decided to use the lovely sketch at:

Sunday Stamps for inspiration. 

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Woven Heirlooms, Flourish Phrases,

Irresistible Blooms 

I recently had someone ask if I ever share measurements.

I honestly never thought to do such a thing.

or even for that fact the colors of card stock or ink

pads.  I am such a visual person I just assume everyone

who makes cards kind of has an idea.  I suppose that 

was quite ignorant on my part.  and speaking 

of ignorance, I'm not too handy with measuring, my idea

of using a ruler is usually guessing.  wink.  

For instance this card took me multiple times

trimming down the sides to get

 a nice "thick" border.  

I wasn't too sure about adding the jewel 

embellishments to a sympathy card, but I 

thought it just needed a little something more.  

Here is my little darling.  I've been noticing the 

gray coming in along his jaw line.  I'm in 

denial that he will be 12 this year.  

Job 1:21

"And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb,

and naked shall I return thither: The LORD gave,

and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the 

name of the LORD."

Valentine Floral

I made this floral Valentine card for the challenge at:

Tuesday Morning Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up: Country Bouquet, Petal Park 

I learned a new trick for those flowers, so exciting.

After the flowers are stamped and punched

out, simply put the paper petal in the palm of your

hand and take your glue bottle and press in the middle,

it curves the flowers so nicely, and gives such nice dimension.  

I also added little sequins to the center of each flower. 

On the inside I just took a black marker and made 

doodle line around the whole card.  I love that look.  

This DSP could have been a bit busy if not tamed

down with that white cardstock,  It evened 

everything out.  

John 15:12 KJV

This is my commandment, 

that ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Happy Valentine's Day Card

I am on a Valentine card making spree. 

I just want to make sure I have enough 

to mail out to all my friends and family.  

I'm going to submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Country Bouquet 

I used some lovely polka dot DSP for the side,

and washi tape with hearts.  I then double 

stamped the heart in the center.  

I raised the sentiment using dimensionals, 

and I put it on a slant.   

Mark 12:31 KJV

And the second is like, namely this, Thou

shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.  There is none

other commandment greater than these.  

I'm asking for prayer again regarding my 

eyes, and BP.  Things are out of control, 

and I can't get in to the eye doctor until April.  

and the other Doctor until March.  So frustrating. 

Thank you for caring and praying.  Hugs to you all.
