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.  

I'd love to have you follow my instagram at: 

pjs.projects.

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.

TMS~#589~ Meant To Be, Heartfelt, Stampin Up, Valentine's Day Card

I made this lovely Valentine for my Hubby.  

I so enjoy making slimline cards.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at

Tuesday Morning Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Heartfelt

Stampin Up:  Meant To Be  

I decided I'd add the sentiment to the 

heart, and add a classy little ribbon 

where the sentiment is shown on the sketch. 

I think it worked out lovely for this 

Valentine card.  I like the inside heart 

best, but I wanted to keep in line with the trim edges

being black on the front, so hence the 

heart trim is black.  Which one do you like best?

This card goes well with the little boxes I 

made for the family.  You can take a look 

at those on my last post, here.  

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

Sketch #404 Meant To Be, Painted Poppies, Labels to Love, Stampin up, Valentine's Day Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:   Meant To Be

Stamping Up:  Painted Poppies 

Stampin Up:  Labels to Love  

I really like how the background turned out, I used the 

stamp from the painted poppies set to create it. 

The sentiment is a wee bit large, but I love the font 

and I purposely put it at an angle.  Really I did.  

I kept the inside nice and simple so there would be 

space to to write 

a little love note to a sweetheart.  

I also worked on a few Valentine treat boxes

for the family.  I figured I'd get them made and 

in the mail, so they'd arrive on time for the kiddos. 

I just have to finish the other 5 with ribbons, and 

then find some goodies to add to the boxes.  

Any Suggestions? 

Well, friends, the latest on the health news, is 

that yes, I have some autoimmune disease, believed 

to be lupus, with  double side order of crest syndrome

and raynauds syndrome. .  Oh what fun.   I'll manage

for as long as I can with limited pain medications,

and also BP pills to open up some blood vessels,

but as far as my body turning into stone, not sure

how to slow this process down, besides prayer, 

and lots of it.  

Any ways, just very grateful for stamping and reading.

Also, check out this little cutie, all snuggled up so 

sweetly in his little bed. 

Don't forget I'm on instagram now too.  So I'd love to have

ya follow me over there as well.  So much fun.

#TGIFC299 ~Bokeh Dots, Dove of Hope, Stampin up

Today's card I made for the challenge at:

TGIF

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Bokeh Dots

Stampin Up:  Dove of Hope  

I love the bokeh background for this dove. 

It's a bit dreamy looking.  

I used night of navy first with the 

background stamp, but it was a bit 

to much, so I switched to gray.  

I think it was a good choice.

With a little speck of silver sparkle in 

the olive branch the dove is carrying. 

I put a dimensional between the wings to 

show a bit of separation.  

I can't believe how fast January is flying by. 

Anyone else feel like this?  I'm not complaining,

I just have to remind myself we are only 18 days into

the new year, so there is still time to change

a few things and get on track.  So that's what 

I will try to do once again.  

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.
