Congratulation's Card #2

Hello again, I just had to give this sketch and special 

 step card  one more try.   

So I made one more congratulation's card for my son.  

I think I like this one better.   I know he likes this 

DSP, because I made a project for him once using it. 

He still has it on his desk to hold all his pens, and glues. 

I think it is so sweet my kids like the stuff I make for them.

Blesses my heart.  

Also this card is special because of the frog.  You

see when he was a little boy, an older gentlemen

came up to him in church and gave him a little rubber 

frog, and asked him if he knew what that meant?  He 

then went to tell my son frog means to:

Fully~Rely~On~God

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Lovely lily pad, So hoppy together,

Conversation bubbles, In the trees

The little froggy is so "hoppy" sitting on his 

lily pad, and the cute little dragon flies fluttering

by with a grand congratulation's.  I'm so proud 

of my son for this new chapter he is embarking upon.

Glory to GOD for leading him, protecting him

and making a way for him. 

That is a picture of how I first started out with 

this card.  The foundation.  Haha  

This little guy is so sleepy lately, but glad he 

is still with us.   He will be excited to see 

the kids the weekend for Easter.  

Matt. 5:16KJV

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your 

good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Congratulation's card #1

I find it to be quite a joke when I have a lovely vision 

in my head of what the card will look like, and then 

it just turns out not at all like I had hoped.  

This is exactly what happened with this card.  UGH.

I wanted to make it extra special for my son.  

and then it just got so busy, and come to find out 

I can't even in fit it into a standard A2 envelope 

because of the tree over hang.  

I had fun making this card, even thought measuring

is not my special gift.  Oh gosh it truly is not, But 

it wasn't to shabby doing these special cuts.  

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  In the trees, Above the clouds

I let DSP give me a helping hand here.  The 

background sky, and the big hot air balloon.  

There was a ton of fussy cutting with this card.

Did you notice the squirrels in the trees holding 

up the banner?  I even added a few flowers in 

the little grassy die cut strip on the bottom.  

Eph. 3:20KJV

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above

all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Easter Card #4 for the 2023 Season

I sort of let my imagination run wild(again) 

with this card.  Why not have an assortment 

of colorful carrots?  

I think the bunny in the basket is quite pleased with

it, and also with the cute little eggs too.  

I tried not to stretch the sketch,  too far. 

I even used an egg stamp to resemble  the

empty tomb. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Thanks a bunch, layering circle dies,

Timeliess tulips, basket bunch, 2 stamp Easter egg.

There really is a circle behind the Easter basket

and sentiment, I just sort of packed it full of 

stamping goodness.  I placed the bow off center

to fit on the basket handle, and not get in the 

way of the bunny.  

This little guy has another ear infection, so 

he is on meds, and got a new toy for being such a 

trooper.  We think he gets very stressed when I'm not 

around.  I have had many doctors appointments lately

and so he gets anxious, tomorrow is one more.  

Actually a very big one, hoping and praying for a miracle

that the echocardiogram will come back better then

the EKG's   Things haven't been going so well in the 

health department here.  But God willing I'm still alive

and thankful for that.  

Job 19:25KJV

For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall

stand at the latter day upon the earth;

This is one of my favorite songs

 that reminds me of the verse above.

My Redeemer Lives

Easter Card #3 for the 2023 Season

I'm so glad I got the opportunity to make a card

today.  I  really needed to have a little escape in the 

craft room, to try and calm my mind and heart.  

This week will be another running race of 

doctor appointments and traveling. 

Praying everything goes well and safe. 

Today I decided to make my third Easter card for the season. 

This little bird outside my craft room window inspired this card. 

I will submit it to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Irresistible blooms, garden birdhouses,

His love, wildflower path, and He is Risen block 

This was very relaxing to make.  I turned the little

birdie house into a chapel for the birds.  I imagine

them coming to sing their praises.   A bit of fussy 

cutting but it was worth it.   

A pair of lovely morning doves were enjoying 

their time sitting on the deck until my sweet 

little fella caused such a ruckus that they flew off. 

You'd never be able to tell by this adorable 

picture of him sleeping so sweetly.  

Psalm 106:1KJV

Praise ye the LORD.  O give thanks unto the LORD;

for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Easter Card #2 for the 2023 Season

Happy St. Patrick's Day 

I didn't even wear anything green today, but

I did include a few greens on my plate for supper.  wink.  

I had such a terrible experience yesterday, that 

my eyes are still a swollen mess today.  But 

I'm thankful I was able to make a card.  

I made this card for the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp set featured in this card is: 

Stampin Up:  Timeless Tulips 

I used up some scrap DSP, all in the pastel colors,

to go with my Easter theme.  I struggled cutting 

out the tulip and bits, then in the end I finally

realized why not just stamp the stem and leaves

directly on the card, and use dimensionals for the flower.

So that is exactly what I did.  I also raised up the sentiment. 

Gives it that little extra something special.  

Here below is a picture of my little darling taking a nap.

In his upside down bed.  He constantly flips it over,

and surrounded by a few toys he is happy.  Notice the 

green pickle for the festive picture for St. Patty's Day. 

Song of Solomon 2:12 KJV

The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing

of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in

our land;

Ship Card

We have heat my friends.  After 5 days and 

no furnace things were a tad frosty here in WI.   

I'm very happy to report we had a new furnace

put in today.  Praise the LORD.  I'm hoping 

it lasts a good long time.  

I made this card for the challenge at:

TGIF Challenges

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  On the Ocean, and Layering 

Circle Dies 

I used a little DSP to help with the background.

Gave it a sort of stormy look.  

I stamped the ship in two colors, and then 

fussy cut out the bits to line them up so the 

base was wood looking and I used a marker 

to highlight the mast a brown color as well. 

I rather enjoy how it turned out.    

Here's a picture of my little darling resting his

chops on his blanket that's on my bed.  Notice 

the window sill in the background holds one of 

his toys, he puts them everywhere the little sweetheart. 

John 21:6KJV 

And he said unto them, Cast the net on 

the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. 

They cast therefore, and now they were not able 

to draw it for the multitude of fishes.

Cactus Card

I made this card for the challenge at:

Freshly Made Sketches

Stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Irresistible Blooms

MFT:  Let's Stick Together 

I had so much fun stamping and coloring 

these cute little fellas.  The faces on the cactus

give them such personality.  

All the different shades of green I almost 

turned this into a St. Patrick's day card.  

The trick was trying to figure out how to 

layer them without using dimensionals. 

There was quite a bit of fussy cutting involved,

but it all went pretty smoothly for a change. 

I like the speckled background, just fills it in nicely. 

Here's little HP all snuggled up.

Proverbs 18:24 KJV

A man that hath friends must shew himself friendly:

and there is a friend that sticketh closer 

than a brother.
