Flourishes You Are Loved

Hello, Friends.  I challenged the team to use layers this week.  I had intended to add a few more layers to my card, but I ended up liking it with only about 4 layers.   I love roses and so did my Mom.  

In Florida, roses are more than a challenge so I am especially sorry that I didn't know about Knockout Roses while my Mom was alive because I would have loved to plant some for her.  I have a roses card for you today using the Flourishes Endearing Rose set with a sentiment from Thistle.  I'm thinking of you, Mom!

Flourishes products:  Endearing Roses, Thistle
Other products: die cut, heart doily

Sending Warm Thoughts

It's a hot, hot summer and I am sending you warm thoughts.

Imagine your Adirondack chair in the sand

gazing out at the beautiful water and sky.

It's time to think ocean and beach for the

JFF Rubber Stamps Blog Challenge for August.

Here's my card:

Sunset at the Seashore G3652Adirondack Chair B3392Sentiments 3 UMS 7020

Spring and Dogwoods

What says spring to me?  Dogwoods in North Carolina.

I am so happy that MFP Stamps has this Dogwood set.

It has become a favorite because it reminds me of NC and those beautiful trees.

Our theme this week is CAS and spring.

I love these images on vellum and thought I would send you a cheery hello

Hope you will join us at the MFP Stamps Blog challenge this week.

Think spring!

Wedding, Butterfly, and Hearts

Hello, Friends.  It's Day Three of the

Bugs and Butterflies Blog Hop at MFP Stamps.

With all the weddings coming up this summer,

I decided on a black and white theme for this wedding card.

It would also serve as an anniversary or "anytime" card
since a love theme is appropriate for so many occasions.

Here's my card for today:

And now for the blog hop information you are waiting for.

Here's my card:

From the Work Basket

Hello, Friends!  Here's a card right out of my work basket.

The image was just there on top waiting for me

all colored with Promarkers.

Then there was a sentiment sheet from unknown origin.

Wonder how long that has been there

and where it came from?

Just a few Distress Inks applied with a twisting motion

of the applicator and that was it!

It was fun and I hope you enjoy it.
Why not join us at the Spring Challenge at the 
JFF Stamps Blog?  
Make a spring card and come and play along!

JFF Stamps Small Warbler

I will share it at Word Art Wednesday and 

the MHK Designs Challenge.

Hop On By!

March is here and it's time to think of

spring colors and images.

Today, I have a bunny card for you.

I slipped the images and sentiment

into an embossed frame.

So if you're thinking CAS and bunnies,

play along with us
at MFPSS.

Sew Little Time

Hello, Friends.  I have a color challenge for you to try:  

Brown, white, and black.

Here's the card I made to inspire you to join us.
