Feel better soon...
Hi, Friends!
Just popping in quick to share with you a card I made recently for a friend. The digital image of the pretty bouquet of roses is from Joy Clair Design. The image was colored with copics. The background was made using a stencil from Pink Fresh Studio. The cross stitch panel was made using a die from Tutti Designs and the scalloped border is from MFT. Dots to finish the card for my friend who is experiencing a tough fight with cancer. I so wish I could see her in the hospital at this time, but they are allowing only one person. And, of course, that one person is her husband. They are good friends of ours and our neighbors, too. I'm entering this card over at Simon Says.
And, my second card with the same digital image is for my friend, Angie...
This card was cased from Esther Asbury and here is her card...Esther Asbury. Also, her card can be seen below. The scalloped panel was made using a die from Mama Elephant. The rose die cut is from Tim Holtz. The image was colored with copics. And, the sentiment and tag is from PTI.
On, a good note our weather has changed for the better, yeah! The sun is shining and the temps are in the 40's. It's a tropical heat wave...lol...I wish! Anyways, you all take good care! Thanks so much for taking the time to drop by today!
Hugs!!

Lucky to have You!
I hope all is well your way! We are in a winter wonderland here in NW Ohio. We got a foot of snow on Monday and yesterday we had a few more inches. It just keeps snowing. But, I am grateful that we didn't get any ice and that we are safe and warm in our home. My thoughts and prayers are with those in the south, especially Texas.
St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner, so I decided to make a card for my husband using an image that Ros drew. She made it available to download. You can see her post here...Mikey's Mom. Her drawings and paintings on cards are stunning! If you haven't checked out her blog yet, please stop over and take a view. You won't be disappointed!
For my card I started, with a white card base and used a stencil from MFT. The stitched circle, grass, clouds, and label dies are from MFT, also. The DO inks that were used are Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio. The sentiment is from Cas-ual Fridays. Gold gems and a shamrock to finish the card.
Well, that's all for now. Have a wonderful weekend! Take care and stay warm!
Hugs!

And, here's my card...
For my card, I started with a pink card base and paired it with Doodlebug paper. The next panel in blue was made using the heart embossing folder. Buttons with pearl cotton were applied to the panel. Polka dot fabric was gathered and attached underneath the yummy cupcake. The cupcake from the new stamp set was colored with copics. A heart epoxy sticker was placed on the cupcake wrapper. Stitching around the panels for interest to finish the card. I thought this card could be used for a Valentine or birthday card. I had tons of fun making this card with the Sweet Kit!!
The celebrate sentiment is from the new set included in the kit. Epoxy stickers were placed, which are from the kit, also...so sweet!

Happy Valentine's Day!
Hi, there!
I hope all is well your way, my friends! Last week was a rough week for us here, but things seem to be going more smooth as the weekend ends. We have a family member who is in need of prayer and also for a good friend of mine who recently had surgery. I did manage to finish my Valentines and sent many off to friends and family. I'm sharing one today that I made for one of my sisters. She loves flamingos. So, I thought ok, I think I'll incorporate a flamingo on her Valentine card. I'm entering this card over at Simon Says.
The flamingo, sentiment, and heart stencil are from MFT. The envelope was stamped with a heart from MFT, also. Gems from Ink Road added for the final touch. I hope my little sis likes her Valentine card.
Well, that's all for now. It's very cold here in NW Ohio in the teens...brrr! Sheila, our dog, doesn't mind the cold. In fact, she doesn't like to get her little sweater on before she goes out, lol! We have been gone a lot this week being quite busy for a family member and an appointment. She didn't like us leaving again this morning for church. We always hide a couple treats in her toys to keep her busy and entertained while we are away. We came home and found that she got them out, but didn't eat them. I guess she was on strike, lol! But, she did eat them finally and I gave her some extra attention. I believe she's back to normal once again!:-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to drop by! Take good care, my friends!
Hugs!

Dies R Us February 1, 2021-Anything Goes!
Hi, there!
It's time for another Dies R Us Challenge! All you have to do is use a brand of die that Dies R Us sells...easy peasy! So, please come and join the fun and have a chance to win a gift certificate...enjoy creating!
This card is for my friend, Nancy, who loves owls! I cased the top part of the card from Marine Simon. And, her blog is here....Blue Marine Crafts. I just love the little flying owl mailman delivering all the Valentine cards, so cute! Included in the Lawn Fawn set are many sentiments and a darling bird, too!
I started with a white card base and added a die cut panel using Lawn Fawn Outside Stitched Scalloped Rectangle Stackables. The background was made using Distress Oxide inks of Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, and Spun Sugar. The speech bubble is from the Lawn Fawn set Love Letters. Epoxy hearts were added to finish the Valentine card.
Another owl was added to the inside of the card. The hearts and sentiments are from the Lawn Fawn set Love Letters, also.
All dies that were used for my card with links are listed below. I hope you create a project using dies and join us for the challenge!
Dies R Us has a sister store with warehouses in the USA and Canada called Didi Crafts.
It will ship to both the US and Canada. Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different. Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!
