Hi there!

 

Happy weekend to you!  I'd like to share with you a card I made for the challenge over at Colour Q!  I was inspired by the rectangles and lovely colors! 

 

And, here is my card...

 

 

 

I started with a brown card base and added the white frame by using the MFT die.  The squares were cut using the same die and placed.  The fun happy die from MFT was cut three times for dimension.  And, finally the owl was punched for the owl with twine added.  I think it makes a lovely background with the different colors.  There are so many possibilities with the die...love it!

 

Ok, well, that's all for now.  Hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Thanks so much for dropping by!  Take care!

 

Hugs,

Maria

Anniversary Blessings...

 

Hi there!

 

Just popping in quick to share a card with you that I made for a volunteer at the hospital.  She faithfully comes in every Thursday to help us with filing, etc.  She also makes delicious treats for us at times.  What a dear sweet lady she is.  I was asked by my co-workers to make an anniversary card for her for all us of to sign.  How amazing that she and her husband will celebrate their 50th anniversary this weekend! 

 

Here is a peek of the inside of the card...

 



Rather than bore you with all the details of the card, I'll just
list the supplies below.  Well, I took time out from laundry and
cleaning to post this card, so I'm going to return to all that fun.  I'd rather be crafting!:-)  Ok, that's all for now, friends.  Thanks for viewing my card here today!  Take care!

Hugs,
Maria

Hi there!

 

How's your Sunday going so far today?  Hope all is well with you!  I just thought I'd share a card with you that I'm entering over at Fusion Card Challenge.  I was inspired by the colors and pretty flowers.  And, here is my card...

 

 

 

For my card, I started with a yellow card base and added a stenciled white panel.  The stencil is from  Heidi Swapp.  I added ribbon, pearl cotton and a lovely prima flower.  The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.  Pearls were added for the final touch.

 

Ok, friends, that's all for now.  Take care and have a wonderful day!
