Sketch 463~ Fun Fold

I decided to make a fun fold card for the 

challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Flowing Flowers 

Stampin Up:  Mischievous Mice

Stampin Up:  Daisy Lane

Stampin Up:  Calming Camellia 

Stampin Up:  Over the rainbow

As you can see I had to put my card in one

of those little clear envelopes to hold it nicely

closed to take a good picture.  

I did try clipping it together with a clothes

pin for the picture, but that didn't look very nice.

I love the bright spring colors.  I fussy cut 

out a piece of DSP for the rainbow behind the mouse. 

It represents the squiggle above the sunflower 

on the sketch. 

I love the sentiment, " It's the little things

that make life great."  

And that darling little mouse holding a pencil.

Too Cute.  

Here is my buddy, HP.  We are 

both big time day dreamers.  

I just love how he rests his chops 

on the window sills.  

I went out to the store with my husband 

today.  It was quite a grand experience.

Apparently the overhead lighting in the 

stores are hard on my eyes, but it was 

glorious just to get out and get some 

fresh air, and see what's going on in town. 

Really makes me appreciate all that 

my husband has been doing.  He does all

our shopping and I'm so 

grateful to him. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.  

I'd love to have you follow me on instagram at: 

pjs.projects

I've also added a new tab to the bar at the top of my blog.  

I'll be trying to sell a few of my older stamp sets.

So keep checking back to see if there is something 

there you might like.

 Thank you for stopping by for a visit.

#TGIFC358~Spiral Dye, Daisy Lane, Stampin Up

I'm so excited with how this spiral dye turned out.

The colors are quite fantastic.

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

TGIF Challenges

I have all these exact ink colors.  

What a great day.  That usually never happens.  

The stamp sets featured in today's card are:

Stampin Up:  Spiral Dye

Stampin Up:  Daisy Lane

I had to snap a picture of the background after

I stamped it, because I was so blown away 

that it actually worked.  So sent it 

off to my kiddos and son-in-law.  They

all thought pretty cool too.  

I was trying to figure out what I could stamp

on this card to match the challenge color theme,

So I went with the easy choice a daisy.  

My favorite flower.  

It's a bit busy perhaps, but I like it.  
Very different then my usual cards, so 

it keeps the creativity growing and flowing. 

Next time I will probably add the VW bus,

it seems quite appropriate for this look. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.

Seas The Day Infinity Shaker Card

I made this fun card for our son-in-law's birthday. 

I always like to try something new for the kiddos. 

This was the first time I made an infinity shaker card.

It is absolutely going to be my go to for shakers.

So easy.  That's ridiculous.  

All you need is the clear envelopes and then

after you stamp the background you put it in 

the clear envelope with the sequins or shakers

that you want to use. and seal it off.  

Now I put a little piece of tear tape in there too.

Just to make sure none of those little sequins 

went swimming outside the card zone.  

After that you glue it down to your folded 

cardstock, and then start building up from there. 

I have a video on my instagram page of  it 

in action.  Not of my actually making it.

I'm just not good at tutorials.  Perhaps 

it is something I will think of doing in the future.

Have you ever made an infinity shaker card? 

Would you like to see a tutorial? 

Perhaps I will try and practice speaking and getting

things organized to do this.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.

SSC278~Friendly Hello, Swirly Frames, Stampin Up

I have been noticing a pattern in my 

card making, it seems I stick with a certain color

for at least 2-3 cards at a time. 

When I look back on my pinterest page, or 

instagram, it was quite apparent.  So the past 

few days it has been pink.  

Now why I chose pink and orange for the

card is because of the dsp.  It looked like 

orange to me, so I went with it. 

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Sunday Stamps

The stamp sets featured in this card is:

Stampin Up:  Friendly Hello

Stampin Up:  Swirly Frames 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.

TMS#646~Awesome Otters, Hand Delivered Stampin up

Oh my I've really ventured out today.  I made 

an instagram reel.  Its nothing fantastic, 

but it was a feat.   For the fact I'm always

nervous about social media things, and also my 

eyes aren't back to normal yet.  

I'd love it if you'd go check it out and give it a like.

I will submit this card to the challenge at:

Tuesday Morning Sketches

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Awesome Otters

Stampin Up:  Hand Delivered 

I decided to really fill that circle in the sketch

 to overflowing. I wanted a cheery birthday

card for my Son's girlfriend.  

I intended to use glossy accents on the balloons,

however I went for the wobbles instead.  I love 

how it gives the card motion.  Makes it seem

like the balloons and otter are walking right over 

with the Birthday surprise. 

I added the sentiment to the bottom left-hand 

corner because it seemed a little bare, as did the 

upper right-hand corner on the circle, so I added 

 a few pink embellishments.   It's such a springy 

card, and makes me smile, especially since today

it's so gloomy outside.  Lovely WI, snow/rain, 

freezing nonsense.    Thankful to have a home.

I'm watching the squirrels presently as I type 

this at the table, and it amazes me how weather

never seems to bother them.  They are swinging 

from my birdfeeders collecting the seeds, those

rascals.   Then it cracks me up when they bury it

in the snow.  

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.

Sketch #462~Catching Butterflies, Counting sheep, stampin up

Happy March 1st.  We are getting closer to summer. 

Whoohoo.  I am so excited about warm weather.  

And hoping by then the eyes and nose will all be 

back to normal.  

However I was reading a devotion my friend sent 

me, and my heart felt quite convicted.  

It was talking about how God is good all the time

and we must trust Him.  and then the part that 

got me.  We aren't to put Him on our schedule. 

Yikes.  God's timeline is Good all the time too.

Sometimes I do that, first it was my legs after 

back surgery they told me at least 18 months to 

two years for nerves to repair themselves.  It 

didn't happen.  And so with my eyes, and nose,

I'm looking on the internet for answers, and it 

says anywhere from a couple weeks, to 6 months. 

Good Grief, that don't seem so promising, and then 

I realized I'm looking to the internet and Not God,

and also telling God, ok I'll be patient for a few more

months and then what?   So my heart just has 

to learn to trust and wait.  Who knows, but Him. 

And I might just be healed, completely.  

This verse got me Nahum 1:7

The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;

 and he knoweth them that trust in him 

He Knoweth them that trust Him.  He knows our heart

beloved friends, He knows what we are going through, 

and He is good and so is His timing.  

Well that's what I learned today.  I just wanted to share. 

I had such a fun time making this card.  I was 

thinking of my kiddos while making it.  

So happy and bright.  Plus it's always fun to make

a slimline card.  I will submit it to the challenge at:

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge

The stamp sets featured in this card are:

Stampin Up:  Catching Butterflies

Stampin Up:  Counting Sheep 

Look at this little Lola plant, it looks like there is 

a flower or something budding on the top of it.

I have no idea what it is.  Do you know?  I 

love this little succulent, it's so pretty. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.

Challenge #214 - Snowflake

I made this card for the challenge at:

Addicted to CAS 

 

It was a struggle not adding more snowflakes.  Oh

how I wish the code word was plural.  haha  

I thought that tiny like snowflake worked perfectly

dotting the "I" in Christmas.  

I did add one little white pearl to it.  I just had 

to bling it up a bit.  

Of course after taking the picture, I think it would

have been nice had I used an embossing folder on 

the white card stock.   Perhaps stripes, it would have 

given the card a big more interest.  oh well, next time. 

Thank you for your continued prayers and

encouragement as I recover from covid.
