Happy Birthday!

Hi Again!

I'm back to share with you this card I made for a brand
new challenge over at Dynamic Duos!  I was in the mood
for a quick easy card.  I had the perfect colors of pool party and lucky limeade for this challenge.  But, one could use aqua or lime green colors if the Stampin' Up colors weren't in your collection.  I also used die cuts from a Jillibean Soup kit.  I so wanted to use the cute little owl in the kit, but the little butterfly matched the correct color for the challenge.  This card will go to my co-worker who has a birthday on the 17th this month. 

Thanks for visiting here today and stop over at Dynamic Duos to check out all the fun cards from the design
team...so cute!  Take care, hugs!!:-))

Paper:  SU, Jillibean Soup, Paper Co.

A Mother's Love Endures

Hearts, flowers, and polka dots!

I was very inspired by the inspiration photo

and cards by the design team this week over at

The Shabby Tea Room!

Here is the inspiration photo...

Truly, a Mother's love endures, doesn't it?  Mom and

I have had disagreements and hurt feelings, but love

does endure!  I certainly feel the same way about

my son!  I tell him no matter what that I will

always love him.:-) 

Anyways, I thought this was the perfect card for my Mom

for Mother's Day.  Wow, it's next weekend already.  Time

just flies by.  So, I got out my quilting needle and thread, which

I haven't used in ages.  I stamped the muslin fabric 

with a lovely rose image.  Batting was inserted before quilting a heart in the center.  I stitched the entire heart to the beautiful Prima paper. The aida cloth was stamped with a tiny rose along the edges.  The sentiment was stamped on mulsin.  And, if you look close, you can see that  I stiched three little x's.  Pins, flowers, leaves, twine, and seam binding was placed to finish off the card. 

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!  Thank you for visiting today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))

A fun sketch to follow for the challenge

over at Tuesday Morning Sketches!

Hi Again,

I worked in my craft room last evening and came up with the above card.  I seem to be working with more blues and greens lately for some reason.  Maybe it's all the green I see outside with everything in bloom.:-)  It's another warm day today in the 80's.  Not as warm as it was yesterday. though, and we are due for some rain. 

Anyways, I got out some stamps that I haven't used in quite awhile.  I just love that bird image!  I didn't even use seam binding on the card.  Can ya believe that??!!:-)  I found some great ribbon in my stash from SU!  Sweet pearls were added for the final touch. 

We plan to see a movie tonight.  My husband wants to see Avengers.  He says it's rated very well.  I'm going to check out the list to see what all is playing at the theatre.  So, bye for now!  Thanks for dropping by today. It's appreciated...take care!

Praying for You...

Hello Friends!

Just a couple of simple sympathy cards to share with you today.  I never seem to have one on hand when I need one, so I made these two cards.  The Songbird Collection from Prima is very soft and pretty.  These papers, in my opinion, are wonderful for making a sympathy card.

Here is another one using the same Prima papers...

Those little birdies are so pretty, aren't they?!

And the inside of the cards...

One more...

Hope all is well with you!   The weather turned super hot here today.  It may have already broken a record.  It's 87 here.  Whew, it's a hot one!  I may just stay in and craft to keep cool.  OK, thank you so much for dropping by today!  Take care, hugs!!:-))
