Giving Thanks for Your Kindness

Looking for PH Blog Hop Challenge - see above on pages


Hello, Happy  Monday!!  

Today I am sharing my cards for this week's  new challenge over on my challenge blog

Love to Create Challenges

Our theme for this week's challenge is 

Give Thanks or Thanksgiving 

We have two fabulous sponsors this week Sassy Studio Designs and Beccys Place .
 Both sponsors are offering fabulous prize to our winners!

I selected an image from each of our sponsors !!

First is my card using Snowman Family , one of many sweet images you will find by visiting Beccy's Place store 

You are probably wondering why in the world would she chose a winter stamp for Giving Thanks or Thanksgiving!! Well I just love snowmen and fell in love with this beautiful image.

Each year my wonderful neighbors always share their yummy cookies, Bourbon balls and 

Buckeyes with my family and so this was the perfect image for me to make a thank you card with .

Here is my inside to my card with a sweet sentiment from QKR Stampede, the sentiment on the 

front of the card is from Eureka Stamps. These beautiful papers are by Bella Blvd which I had 

picked up for a swap my design team  does and of course I picked up an extra sheet just for me!

Next is a card using Sassy Studio Designs  Little Honey Mulan 

I think her expression is perfect for a thank you card!! 

I paper pieced her with these beautiful papers from Glitz Sunshine in My Soul collection 

Sentiment is a SU stamp.

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.

H for Halloween

Hello, Happy  Monday!!  

Today I am sharing my cards for this week's  new challenge over on my challenge blog

Love to Create Challenges

Our theme for this week's challenge is

Halloween

I gave a try to this new card technique "bendi fold"
and let me say it is definitely challenging when you use a lot of 
layers - word to the wise less layer for this one as you tab slits
will work a whole lot easier!!
But it was fun and did get me to be a bit creative with resizing 
parts of my background image Barry Spooky Bats by Stamp Fairy
as I re-sized the moon and the bats to use as additional embellishments.
I also intertwined two of my MS border punches that don't get a lot of attention by adding the graveyard punch with the picket fence. Little Barry Halloween was covered in lots of shimmery glitter to off set all the brown tones within my card. 

Stamp Fairy is our wonderful sponsor this week with an amazing prize 

to one lucky winner - $10 Gift Certificate!!

So come play along for your chance to win this grans prize!

Hope I have inspired you!

Thank You - Our Heros

Hello, Happy  Monday!!  

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, mine was good, tried to get 
as much rest as I could to kick this bug that decided to hit me on Wednesday, so 
far I am beginning to feel somewhat better.

Today I am sharing my cards for this week's  new challenge over on my challenge blog

Love to Create Challenges

This week our theme is in honor
  Any Hero - Thank You

There is a wonderful organization here in the USA called Operation Write Home (OWH) that collects and ships hand made cards to our Troops all over the world. This gives the troops a way to stay connected with their families while they are serving our country. Along with those dozens of boxes of hand made cards OWH includes Any Hero Mail. These are Thank You cards with messages of gratitude and encouragement inside. 

I did double duty with my card this week since Sassy Studio Designs is our wonderful sponsor for our challenge this week at Love to Create Challenges, also being a DT member for SSD I combined my card with another challenge that SSD is sponsoring 
Feeling Sketchy Challenge 

Here is their sketch this week which I used for my card 

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.

Back to School with Simply Betty

Hello, Happy  Monday!!  

Today I am sharing my cards for this week's  new challenge over on my challenge blog

Love to Create Challenges

The team and I are so excited to share some inspiration
with images from Simply Betty Stamps !!

Yes Simply Betty Stamps is in the house !!! 

She is our 
Fabulous sponsor this week for our 

Back to School theme

Betty generously allowed each DT to chose an image to create with and I picked this 
adorable Chalkboard Ali  from the Jude and the Rockers Playtime collection 

Going with a Primary color scheme and some fun Elementary Spelling Bee design papers by Simple Stories 

I also inked up this month's new Avocado Arts Clear Stamps "You Rule" using the sweet notebook paper, crayon and one of the sentiments in the set! 

One of my designers stated she looked like Rainbow Brite, which I admit yes she does but not the feel I was going with LOL!!!

For my star holding Chalkboard Ali, I simply used Word shapes to create 

a size and shape star I wanted and then printed onto card stock and hand cut.

Of course after receiving Chalkboard Ali and loving Simply Betty's stamps I 

had to pick up this fab image as well!!

Christian Locker Mess  

Perfect digi for one of the boys to give to their teacher!!!

To keep with a masculine touch I paired Christian Locker Mess with TPC Studio School Days Science designer paper. I created a tag which I add some stamps marks to along with a computer gernerate sentiment of Superstar -Yes that's what you are.

Christian Locker Mess also comes with the cool sentiment "I am here What More Do You Want?"

Stars were made by using Word inserts and enlarging to the size and shape I wanted

Hope I have inspired you to come join us at Love to Create Challenge, for a chance to win a fabulous prizes of a $10 Gift Certificate from our wonderful sponsor Simply Betty Stamps!
