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.

Musical themed Valentine

I made this card for the challenge at:

The Paper Players

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Music From the Heart 

This is so fantastic to turn a valentine into 

something  with a musical theme.   I love how the piano 

looks like the top lid is a heart, and the inside guitar

has a treble clef for the body of the guitar.  

I'm pretty impressed I got the keyboard along

the side to line up.  Even though it was like

the fourth try.  (wink) 

Then I just couldn't stop stamping those

little tiny hearts.  I also added a few

sequins to the side to cover a little smudge. 

Ephesians 4:2, KJV: 

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, 

forbearing one another in love

Valentine's Day Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

The Card Concept

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:   Country Bouquet 

I was inspired by the colors, floral and heart images

on the picture above. 

I love how the heart in the center captured the 

two colors marvelously.   The green really pops. 

The DSP helped to bring in the soft pinks, and reds.

I used a punch to scallop the edges of the red cardstock. 

The lacey & scalloped edges always say Valentine's 

Day cards to me.  

I also like the position of the sentiment. 

I popped it up with some demensionals.  

1 John 4:19 KJV

We Love Him, because He first loved us.

Valentine Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

 

The stamp set featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Country Bouquet 

I thought I'd make a few more Valentine cards,

to send them out this week,

just to make sure they get there in time.  

I like the nice clean lines and simplicity of this 

card.  The DSP accents the card lovely.  Gets the 

point across.  Lots of Love.  

I made chocolate chip cookies the other day

to use up the Christmas M & M's.  I know gasp, 

I still can't believe we had them in the house.  

Chocolate doesn't last long, but I put them in 

the cookies and put a rolo in the center of each

one, and oh my gosh, they were delicious.  

1 Cor. 16:14 KJV

Let all your things be done with charity. (love)
