Willow shopping

Hello friends! It's Sunday and time for another Stampin Sisters in Christ! Today will be a short post as I have my Granddaughter staying with me this weekend and getting two girls ready for Church takes longer than I'm used to! LOL! Today's hostess is Rebekka, and I know you all love her as much as I do! Be sure to stop by Stampin Sisters in Christ to read her devotional today!

The Scripture Becky has chosen is
Psalm 9:10 "Those who know your name will trust in You, for You, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek You."

Becky is challenging us to use
"Things that Secure... Buttons.... No Less than Three!"

I'm so grateful to know that my salvation is not dependent on my own works! God's promise to us is that He will never leave us or forsake us! He tells us that those who seek Him with all of their hearts, will find Him. He desires to have a relationship with us. He loves us, pursues and and He keeps us! There was a once popular song that said "To know, know know you is to love, love, love you, and I do.... " In human terms... that love may come and go, rise and wane, but God's love is constant and sure, and He never changes. We can trust Him to always have our very best in mind, even if He needs to discipline us to bring us to where we need to be! We can never lose His love! What a precious promise! He will never forsake us!!!

Our sponsor this week is Whiff Of Joy and I just had to use one of my Elizabeth Bell WOJ images today! This image is Shopping Willow. I thought she'd be perfect this weekend, since I have my Granddaughter here and what do all little girls love to do? Shop!!! (Especially if Grandma is buying!!!) LOL! I have used a base of Papertrey Srping Moss, and all the designer paper is BasicGrey Sugar Rush. I used this week's Midnight Madness Sketch 92 for my layout.

I stamped Willow on Express It with Memento and colored with Copics. I paper pieced her bags with scraps. The circles are cut with Spellbinder's Lacey Circles and Classic Circles. I love my Grand Calibur for things like this because you can put different dies and papers on the large platform and cut them all with one pass! I ran the classic circles through with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dot embossing folder as well. The lace is Websters Pages and the flowers and buttons are from my stash.

We want to thank our Sponsor, Whiff Of Joy for their Support and Generous Prize! This is the adorable image being given away!

Don't Worry Sneak Peek

Hello everyone! I know it's been a while since my last post! I have been away and had the last several posts prescheduled, but getting home again and working on DT requirements for NEXT week when I will have my family here has kept me busy with things I couldn't show you quite yet! I am thrilled today however to be able to share with you a sneak peek at a new Our Daily Bread designs set by Dina Kowl that will be released on Aug. 1. It's called "Don't Worry". I love this set and I believe you will too! Since one of my besetting sins is anxiety.... this set has verses that speak directly to me! I love this quote from Corrie Ten Boom.... it's so true!!!

I stamped my image which is 2 flowers, then masked and added a third with Memento on Neenah, then colored with Copics. My frame is made with the Spellbinder's Lotus Blossom die cut edgeability and cut to fit. My sketch is this week's Midnight Madness Sketch#63. For my butterfly I stamped it once on my main panel and then again, cutting out just the front wing and popping it up. After coloring with Copics I painted with Shimmerz Candlelight for a shimmer.

Card Details:
Stamps: Our Daily Bread desings "Don't Worry"
Paper: Bazzill base, Stamping Station (dotted light blue), Memory Box Frond (green), Francis Meyer (dark blue)

MMSC59 and a Sneak Peek!

Hello everyone! Hope your week is going well! Mine seems to be flying! I'm getting ready for company this weekend and trying to get things made ahead a bit with vacation coming up... so I feel like I'm running as fast as I can but can't catch up!

Anyhoo.... today I have a sneak peek for you! This is a sneak peek of two new sets being released by Our Daily Bread designs on July 1! The verse is from the set "Our Daily Bread" and the cross of wheat stamped in So Safron is from the set "The Living Bread".

I used this week's Midnight Madness Sketch #59 for my layout. I used a base of Bazzill and the DP is BasicGrey Origins. I matted with basic black. I sewed up the panels and cut the sentiment panel with a Spellbinder's label 6, then matted on a label 10. I used a CB embossing folder, ZVA Creative Pearls, Prima and K&Co flowers, and an EK Success leafy vine border, from which I took only the negative parts and glued them around my oval frame.

I hope you like my card and these new sets! The best is yet to come... you don't want to miss this release! Be sure to be back on July 1 for the hop and your chance to win win win this month!!!

Midnight Madness As You Graduate

Hello everyone! Today for the Midnight Madness Sketch, I went really out of my comfort zone and created an "orangish" card!

I stamped the image from the Our Daily Bread designs May release, As You Graduate with Archival Sepia and wanted to just give the image a hint of Sepia tone, but since Archival is water proof, I couldn't water color it, so I added some SU! Markers and Ranger Inks to get close in color. I paired the image with a Bazzill brown base, and designer paper from BasicGrey in Origins, Porcelain and Sugar Rush. I paper pieced the butterflies by stamping them again on the dotted paper and cutting out and mounting above the stamped image. The flowers are Primas. For the tab parts of the sketch, I stamped the sentiment three times to be able to cut the words apart and I distressed each tab with Distress Ink, then I added the tassle.

I am linking this to the following challenges:
Crafty Calendar - Great Outdoors
Crafty Cardmakers - Distressing
Whoopsi Daisy - As You Like It
Flutterby Wed. - Butterfly
Creatalicious Challenge- Flowers & Wings
Alphabet Challenge - B is for Butterfly
Thanks so much for looking! Be blessed!

The party is on over at Midnight Madness... check it out as all week there will be prizes and fun!

MMSC48 The Aviary

Hello everyone!  I hope your week is going well!

I made this card for several challenges, beginning with the MMSC48 This was a tricky one for me with the three bows! LOL!  I finally ended up using 2 totally different ribbons to make them all work.

My Bird image is Layers Of Color Dotted Delights, stamped with Memento onto a scrap of designer paper twice so I could cut out the wing and pop one up.  I also used LOC Creative Flourish set to add flourishes all over the dp using different Distress Inks.  My base is Bazzill, then there is a layer of BasicGrey Origins, Prima First Blush and  sanded green from BG Going Green. All layers were sponged a bit with Distress Inks.  The bird cage is from the new Tim Holtz Sizzix Diecut.  I cut it out of brushed gold and added Dew Drops from The Robin's Nest.  My flowers are prima, layered, sprayed with Copics and then little stamens added from the bridal dept at M's that I colored a bit with Copics.    My ribbons are a sheer stitched green from Michael's and a yummy velvet from K&Co.

I am entering this in the following challenges:

MMSC47 Vintage Roses

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a blessed Easter!  We took a trip to the mountains and spent the day with our kids and grand kids!  What a wonderful time!

Today I wanted to play in the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge47.  I decided to use my Layers of Color Art Stamps set Vintage Roses.  The lacing of the panels made me think of victorian days and I thought this K&Co mini stack dp, Madeline was perfect for my image.  The image is colored with Copics and the bowl and flowers are then glittered with a clear gel pen,but you can't really see that in the night time photo. I used Spellbinders Label 12 for the image and then traced outside the nestie onto the back of this yummy rich chocolate velvet that was in the base of a gift box. I had cut it and then cut a SB Label 3 from Brushed Gold to mount the image panel on.  I sponged with T Holtz Distress Ink.  The twine is from Sharon's Ribbon Store and the brown half pearls are Recollections.  I did some piercing around the outside of the card.

Spring is coming!

Hello everyone!  The sun is out today and the air is fresh... there is hope that spring is just around the corner!   I made this card for several challenges including the Midnight Madness Sketch #43, shown here,

and Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge #28  which is based on this verse:

Colossians 3:17 "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."

SSIC challenge was an anything goes challenge except that we were to pray and praise as we were creating.  With these beautiful new spring and Easter sets from Our Daily Bread designs, how could I not praise my Lord and Savior?!!  The hope and joy that is ours because of what Christ did for us on the cross, the the peace we have because of His resurrection, what we celebrate on Easter is beyond comprehension! 

I used the new March release set from ODBD, Happy Easter, although I plan to use this as a birthday card, with the sentiment inside.  The image is stamped with Memento, colored with Copics and cut out.  I used my Spellbinders Classic Oval and Scalloped Ovals to cut the image panel, and embossed with a Sizzix EF.  I llightly sponged about everything with SEI Chalk Ink (Clover).  I added bling (ZVA Creative pearls), Sparkle ( Stickles on the stamens, Sakura clear glitter pen) on the butterflies, texture with the CB Swiss Dot EF, and some lace ribbon.  I also added a button and lace ribbon tab to qualify for the Stamp Something Recipe. 

I am also entering this in the following challenges:

Pink Elephant - Add green

Papertake Weekly - Buttons, Bows, Bling

Quizotic - Leave it out - use leaves

Simon Says - Girly

The Season for Singing has come!

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a wonderful week! I have been so busy this week, but it's all good!  We are finishing off our basement, and we got to the carpet installation yesterday!  Whoo Hoo!!!  Now to build a desk and I will become a basement stamper!!! Vicky... here I come! LOL!

Today I'm giving you a sneak peek at two new sets coming out at Our Daily Bread designs Mar.1.  This image is from the set called Happy Easter and it is filled with wonderful Easter sentiments and Scriptures.  On the inside I used a Scripture from the set The Lord has Risen.  I used that because I made this card for several different challenges, including the Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge this week, which was based on Esther 4:4, and the challenge was to show the passage of time in some way.  I also used the Midnight Madness Sketch 42.  I tweaked it a bit in that I made my main panel an oval but this Daffodil just says oval to me!

Card Details:

Stamps: Our Daily Bread designs March release: Happy Easter, The Lord has Risen

Ink: Memento, Certainly Celery

MMSC35 The Promise

 Welcome to week 35 of The  Midnight Madness Sketch!

This is my first card as Guest Diva for Midnight Madness!   I have played along on the MMSC since I first found it, which was pretty close to the beginning!  I'm thrilled and honored to have been asked to be their guest diva this month!  I am also entering it in the Stampin Sisters in Christ Challenge 20... for a new baby!

                                                                                                                                                                              I made this card using the just released Our Daily Bread designs set, Noah's Ark.  I also used the dove from the new Confirmation set, which I stamped on poly shrink, colored, punched holes and then shrunk to make a button.                                                                                                                                      

The main image is stamped with Memento Ink on Watercolor paper and watercolored with SU! Markers.  I stamped a second time so I could cut out the animals and pop them up.  I added a few "white caps" to my water with a Signo Gel Pen. I watercolored the sky with a rainbow to remind us all of God's promise!  The card base is Papertrey Vintage Cream.  All the designer paper is K& Co.  The tiny vanilla ribbon is from AC Moore.  The Greenery is an MS Punch, the flowers are Making Memories.  I tied my home made button with linen thread.

We'd love to have you play along with us at Midnight Madness!  There are always prizes to be won!!!

The monthly Sponsor for January is D'Amour Allure.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!  I certainly did!  I was so excited to be able to get to play in a couple of challenges today as well!  This is for Inspiration Challenge 212 on SCS and also for MMSC33.

I used this cute rug for my inspiration from Posh Tots.  My daisyd's designer paper immediately came to mind.  This site had the cutest kids things, so I decided to give you a sneak peek at a new Our Daily Bread designs set to be released Jan. 1 called "Noah's Ark".  It has lots of different possibilities in how you use it so be sure to check back on Jan 1 for the Our Daily Bread designs blog hop, when three lucky hoppers will have the chance to win this set or another set of their choice! 

I used the sentiment from Noah's Ark, stamped in Our Daily Bread designs Rasberry Ink on Papertrey White cs.  My base is Bazzill and the dp is daisyd's.  I used a QuicKutz Flourish frame die cut for my elements to create a square around the sentiment panel to fit the sketch, and the sentiment itself is cut with a Spellbinders Label #3.  I added ZVA Creative pearl flourishes, K&Co Paper Ribbons, and MS butterfly punch outs from the same paper.

Thanks so much for looking!  See you at the Hop on Jan 1!!!

MMSC31 - a Gift set for Christmas

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a great week!

I made this set for this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.


We were to use the sketch but also make an ornament or other gift idea to go with it.  I made an ornament using the same sketch.  The hardest part of this project was getting a good photo.  We have been having rain and clouds and all the sparkle on this set was hard to capture, but the sun "peeked" out a little bit today and I grabbed the camera!  I hope you can see the sparkle a little at least!

I used the Dec. release Our Daily Bread designs set Peace and Joy for my Snowflakes.  I stamped them in VersaMark and then Chocolate Chip, onto a soft blue paper from Memory Box dewfrost pack and heat embossed with Kaleidoscope EP.  I cut the large snowflake out with a Spellbinder's Label 3, and the small flake used to pop up the design with SB Create a Flake. I used Memory Box dewfrost designer paper for the sketch elements and mounted them on a Papertrey dark chocolate base.  I used Spellbinders the Fleu-de-lis Pendant cut twice for both the card and ornament and popped up in an offset pattern.  They are glittered with dazzling diamonds and are bright white, giving a little contrast to the soft blue panel the image is stamped on.  The ribbon is from M's and also wraps the paper mache ornament on the side.  The ornament is double sided, so both sides are equally pretty.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you have a blessed week!

MMSC30 Angelic Greetings

Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a great week!

I made this card for MMSC30 and also for Flutter by Wednesday.

 My image is one I picked up at a yard sale and there are no markings on it so I don't know who made it.  I embossed it in silver and cut with a Spellbinders Label 6 and sponged with Soft Sky.  I added two of the smaller elements from the Spellbinders Hearts Pendant group and made my frame with them.  My snowflakes are Spellbinders Create a Flake and the smallest one is stamped with the smaller snowflake in the new Dec. release set from Our Daily Bread Designs, Peace and Joy.  I used a Martha Stewart punch for my matting and the designer paper is S.E.I. and it's all on a base of Metallic by The Paper Co.  I used the negative cut outs from my edge punch and the hearts to create the little snowflake elements.

I hope you like this quick card today... short and sweet!

Have a blessed day!  Thanks for looking!

MMSC28 with a twist

 Hello everyone!  I hope you are having a blessed week!
This project looks better if you click on it to enlarge!

I made this card and ornament for several challenges.  I used the MMSC28 sketch, I used Design Team mate Betty's color challenge CC245(SCS)  for my colors, and I made an ornament which is presented on a card to submit to the Verve Home for the Holiday's Project Parade.

                                                                                                         

I have to say I love how this one came out...and that's not something I say too often.  I purchased a glass ornament from Hobby Lobby. I used the Nov. release from Our Dailly Bread designs, Luke 2:11 for my image and stamped it on Watercolor paper and watercolored with inks and cut out.  I painted on a thin coat of Diamond Glaze to adhere my image to the ornament after cleaning the glass real well with glass cleaner.  The base of the card is Papertrey Dark Chocolate, then the designer paper is K & Co. Evergreen.  I dyed ZVA white pearls with Ranger Cranberry Alcohol Inks and attached, then I added punched leaves and boughs that I sponged with Always Artichoke (Martha Stewart Punches).  The main panel is up on thick dimensionals and lots of them to give support to the glass ornament, and the ornament hanger cord is taped to the back so it can be easily removed without taking the panel apart.  I added some gold beads, Stickles to the edges of the petals that I had painted green, and a gold ribbon.

I hope you like my project and thank you so much for taking a peek!  God bless your day!
