FMS754 Deepest Sympathy

 Happy Thursday, all!  Unfortunately, we needed a sympathy card as our neighbor passed away. I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches:

I used a couple of digital papers, a sentiment from Hero Arts, and a wee bit of twine:

I diecut the gingham with a scalloped die; the sympathy sentiment was diecut with a banner die, and I also embossed around the outer edge with a cross-stitch die:

The inside used a sentiment from Prayers & Promises:

Since it's pretty clean & simple, I'm also going to enter it at the Krafty Chicks this week:

Thanks for popping in today!

Dana, my friend and I had a wee bit of success at our local fair; Dana won a first prize for her crocheted top; I won a first for my cross stitch and a third for my shadowbox, and Claudia won a third for her flag afghan:

So many talented crafters out there!  Enjoy your day and be blessed!

FMS736 Hydrangea Hello

Happy Thursday, peeps!  I pulled out some old and new products for today's card!  It's for the FMS sketch challenge from Verena :

I love SU's new Hydrangea Hue---I am a big blue fan, and this is a lovely shade!  I also used the new Lazy Daisy embossing folder, some new Bloom Boutique papers and some old Pierced Blooms dies:

It's hard to see, but there are gold accents on the printed paper, so I added a gold foil strip, diecut with a stitched strip die, along with some gold leaves and little gold pearls.  I heat-embossed a sentiment from Prayers & Promises in gold as well:

Love all the flowers--what a cheerful card!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!

CASC&S585 Sending Love

Happy Wednesday, peeps!  A very quick card today for the the CAS Colours & Sketches sketch, which is here:

I have been playing with the Product of the Month from a month or so ago called Notes of Spring; I paired it with some Craft Consortium papers and a sentiment from Prayers and Promises:

I cut the printed paper with the Stitched Rectangle die and added a Gray Granite mat.  The deer outline was also stamped in Gray Granite and the inner portion was Crumb Cake:

I added a stitched strip of white for the diagonal portion so as not to detract from the pretty papers.  Here's the inside:

I love these neutral colors! Thanks for popping in today! Enjoy it and be blessed!

JAI779 Simple Birthday

Happy Tuesday, all!  Yesterday was Dana's birthday,so I made a very simple card for her using the Just Add Ink sketch:

I've not used the Perennial Lavender papers for a while, and she likes purple, so that's what I went with:

I added a little charm from my stash, tied to a white grosgrain ribbon; the sentiment below is from Prayers & Promises:

The inside sentiments are from Pinkfresh and Waffle Flower:

Happy Friday, all! A real quick card today using the Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch:

I needed some samples for my upcoming hostess party using the new Made With Love DSP, and this was a great place to start:

I added an embossed panel of Flirty Flamingo to the DSP panel, a sentiment from the new Prayers & Promises, and a few stitched hearts and sequins:

A retired sentiment from Sealed with Love went on the inside:

These papers are fresh and fun!  Thanks for popping in today!  Enjoy it and be blessed!
