“For the Ladies – A project for a gift card”

Pedi Party has always been one of my favorite Sassy images 

and I miss playing with her since she retired (this is your chance to 

get her only by joining our monthly challenge).

I created an accordion gift card holder. Starting with 

two chip boards from a mini $1.00 album from Michaels

I cover the chipboard with design paper, created a 

accordion fold tab to hold the chipboard front and back covers. 

I then created (4) small velum envelopes to hold 

my gift cards

Lots of Love for Lauryn Card Drive

Isn't this little girl just precious? Let me introduce you....
Lauryn was diagnosed with Leukemia on March 27, 2014. She is currently hospitalized in the DC area undergoing chemotherapy to fight this terrible disease.  Lauryn is Linda Payne's granddaughter...many of you in the stamping community probably already know sweet Linda!

As news of Lauryn's illness spread via social media, many of you have asked if there is anything you can do to help, so we have come up with a plan. We decided to have a Card Drive and would like to invite YOU to help by sending "happy mail" to Lauryn and her family.

Please create cards to share your love and encouragement for Lauryn and her family. Lauryn's parents are Josh and Elizabeth and she has two older siblings: Lily and Logan. We thank the Lord for this dear family and need to pray for them as they are seeking to glorify the Lord throughout this trial. 

Cards can be mailed to:

Children's National
Hematology/Oncology RM 437
Lauryn Newsome
111 Michigan Ave NW
Washington DC 20010

Here is a card I created for Lauryn using a darling image 
from Your Next Stamp Tobi with Pinwheel 

Now you should of arrived from Marlena's blog and if you are just joining us 

please go over and begin on the Lots of Love for Lauryn blog!!

I thought this sweet image would bring a smile to Lauryn's precious 

face and brighten her day a wee bit!!

I paper piece her sweet dress and then cut a second pinwheel to create 

a 3D effect.

To help share this effort with sending Lauryn and her family as much love 

as we can to show our love and our support. 

I am offering some candy 

For a chance to win 

$10.00 Gift Certificate to your favorite online store 

Here is what you need to do:

Share Lauryn's badge on your facebook page or blog with 

an invite to your friends to send "happy mail" to Lauryn

then leave me a comment here on this post telling me 

how you shared the badge!!

I will select two comments that shared Lauryn's badge 

to each receive a $10.00 gift certificate to your favorite online store!!

Drawing will be done on Monday April 21st

You can find updates on Lauryn via a Facebook page that has been set up by some family. It is Fight on Little Lauryn. They have shared how encouraging it is receive a simple "like" on a Facebook status or words of love and encouragement that is posted.

Your next stop on the hop is Shirley's blog 

Here is the fabulous group of bloggers who have joined us in promoting this Card Drive. We would love for you to hop with us as numerous bloggers have blog candy and all you need to do is leave a comment...

Spending Time Together

Hello, Here to share my weekly project for my Challenge Blog

Love to Create Challenges

This week our challenge theme is

Vintage Romance

We have two fabulous sponsor this week 

Sami Stamps 
Tsumani Rose by Daisy Collins  

Both sponsors were very generous allowing 

each member of the team to use their product to showcase for their projects!!

Thank You so much Sami & Daisy!!

For my inspiration I chose a beautiful image from Sami Stamps

called "With You" .

It wasn't easy to pick just one image as Sami has so many beautiful 

images in her shop!!

But since I absolutely love the beautiful papers Daisy Tsumani Rose 

creates, I knew this was the perfect image to pair with these

gorgeous papers!

The paper kit Tsumani Rose shared with the team is called 

Mechanical Error and each paper along with journalism cards and embellishments 

is simply gorgeous!!  I used one for my background and then another one 

for the middle oval in which my Sami Stamp image is layered to.

See isn't this image "With You" from Sami Stamps not the perfect 

image to go with these fabulous papers!! 

I colored my image with Copic, then used a Whimsy Stamp Eiffle Tower die,

three different journal cards from Tsumani kit. Finish with a few flowers from my stash and ribbon.

Hope I have inspired you!

We would love to have you come join us at Love to Create Challenge, for a chance to win some  fabulous prizes from our wonderful sponsors.

Thanks for stopping by, love to read your comments!!

Life Began, When You Were Born

Happy Monday!!

I am sharing a card I created using one of Sunflowerfield's wonderful digital images.

This is beautiful image is Sunflowerfield Pregnant Visnja Digital Stamp

She is a gorgeous image and comes with sentiments.

I colored her with Copic markers, then paired her with some PaperTrey 

design papers. Wanting to keep my card clean as to show off the 

beauty of this image I only added a few rose buds and leaves.

Sunflowerfield's has a  monthly challenge for April, the theme is 'Easter or Spring'!

Be sure to swing over and check it out!!
