Bow Tie Birthday Wishes

Hello freinds, I am soooo exciting about today's card, I am sharing the Lil' Inker's Bow Die and the Flags and Dies Stamp set...this is seriously my favorite Lil' Inker set!  I have added my shabby/vintage style to these sets, that is what I luv about Lil' Inker...so versatile!  I have used creams and browns, a vintage button, and tiny staples for the banners.  I embossed the base panel of the card, added punched borders at the top and bottom of the main panel.  So glad you stopped by for a peek at my Lil' Inker card creation!  have a super week...enjoy!

Verve Get Your Diva On-Monochromatic

Hi friends, I am sharing my take on Sankari's Get Your Diva On Challenge to use monochromatic colors, I have used green...my favorite color.  Be sure to checkout the details of the challenge; it is a great prize....you wanna know what?  A guest spot working with Verve Stamps, Julee and the divas; how cool is that?  You have until this Sunday to link up your creation.  I have used a bird tag image for my focal point, you can get these amazing cards/tags here.  I have added the sweet little tag sentiment using Verve stamps and dies.  I used the new postage dies from Spellbinders and my beloved glass glitter, stitching, and distressing complete my card.  I have played along with several challenges listed below.  I hope you are gearing up for a fabulous weekend, it is suppose to be in the 40's here tonight and tomorrow.....aaaahhhh, I luv this time of year!  I found this quote about autumn I want to share.

"Autumn is the mellower season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits."

Samuel Butler

Stampers Dream-Vintage Birthday

Hello friends, I am sharing a card I made using JustRite stamps, I adore these images and the best part they are compatible with Spellbinders.  I have used the set Elegant Frames and the Spellbinders Nesties Labels Ten to cut out the shape.  I have used glass glitter on the main image, well....because I luv it....hehehehe.  I added ribbon, Melissa Frances Lace Trim, button and burlap to finish my card.  I adore the sketch and I played along with Paper Play and used ribbon, lace, and a button.  It is almost the weekend and I can't wait.....I am going to be busy in the next several weeks.  I have several things to share with you that are super exciting, I can't wait to spill the beans!  I have lots of things I want to see and do in my life, I must believe those things will happen.....enjoy!  I want to share this awesome quote with you  by Oswald Chambers......"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time."

MFT-Sending Love

Hi friends, I have created a card today using the MFT sketch and the new large rolled flower die from MFT.  This die is makes gorgeous flowers, I also used the MFT butterfly die and stamps.  The colors are the gorgeous combo from The Play Date Cafe.  I added Prima lace down the center and a punched border edge.  The papers are Websters Pages and My Mind's Eye.  It is back to work for me tomorrow, I have been able to be with my dh the last couple of weeks after his accident.  He is doing well, still dealing with headaches, but we are praying they will subside.  Thanks for the sweet comments, well wishes, and prayers for us...we appreciate it very much!  I will be sharing my sneak peek tomorrow of the new Layers of Color Stamps, I am the guest designer for them this month.  Be sure to come back and visit, with each comment to each designers blogs you increase your chances of winning these new stamps.  Have a great evening...enjoy!
