SCS Hope Challenge- Brave Heart Card #2

I have created this for the SCS Hope Challenges, to help the MD Cancer Center in TX.  Today is my challenge, it is called "Brave Heart", my challenge to use is to use at least one heart on your creation. The patients and families who fight cancer have to be so brave, lets honor them by using a heart on your card. Thank you so much for supporting MD Anderson Cancer Center!  There is also an added challenge that is NOT eligible for prizes, be sure to go here to find out the details.  I have created a card for the second part of my challenge, to see it go here.  I have used the Sizzix primitive hearts die for this card, I just luv the shape of these hearts.  I have added a flower mixture; I made a rolled fabric flower, added a Prima, pearls and bling to the tiny bouquet.  I used greens, my favorite color and a pop of black....you can never go wrong with a pop of black, wouldn't you agree?  I hope you will join us over at SCS for the HOPE Challenges, there are prizes to be won too!  I want to leave you with this quote on hope...enjoy!           
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

Masculine Card-Praying For You

I played along with several challenges to create today's masculine card.  I really should keep more manly cards on hand, they are like sympathy cards; it seems I never have enough if my stash.  I like to use stars for manly cards like I use flowers on all other cards.  I used My Favorite Things sketch for this one, using the star border die at the bottom.  The sentiment is from the new Verve set Faithful Phrases.  I used black burlap sting and tied it with a chunky brown button, distressing, and a little stitching complete my card.

It is back to work tomorrow, it is a short week for me and a super long weekend ahead.  I get Friday and Monday for Easter.....I am looking very forward to it!  I have had to work the last three weeks without a week off...lol.  I am hoping for another week off come the first of May.  Hope your evening is great...enjoy!

Waltzingmouse Sketch-Thinking Of You

Hello friends, I need a manly card tonight and this is what I came up with..I am very happy with the results.  I combined a few challenges, one of my favorite things to do.....hehehe.  I used my new Waltzingmouse stamps; the Bitty Banners set, so cute and so many possibilities.  I embossed the background, added a star with burlap string, and a button to complete my card.  I hope you have had a wonderful day, only three more to go....yah!  Share a smile with someone today....enjoy!
