(Click on photo for a closer look)

I made a slider style card using scripture from the On Eagles' Wings Set.

For the sentiment inside, I used the Flourished Verses Set. 

Here's another photo of the card laying flat.

 

I had a little trouble with inspiration this week, so I made a trip to my local scrapbook store and found these pretty Authentique Papers called Cherish.  I love these papers with the roses and pinks!  I get a lot of my inspiration from designer papers and even though I have TONS already, LOL, I had to get more!  I did all the stamping directly on the solid designer papers.  Also, if you look closely, there is a faint eagle image with the verse on front.

Card recipe:

Stamps: On Eagles' Wings, Flourished Verses (Our Daily Bread Designs)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), Cherish (Authentique), burgandy (DCWV), Always Artichoke
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Victoria Velvet Distress Ink
Accessories: Alway Artichoke Seam Binding (RAK from Jill :-), Elegant Scrollwork Die (Memory Box), Timeless Rectangles Dies (Spellbinders), button, Bow-Easy, jute, charm, brad

Word Art Wednesday Guest Designer

Hi there!

As I announced on Wednesday,  I am a Guest Designer this month for Word Art Wednesday!  I almost always play in their challenges, and I'm very honored to be asked by Karen to join them! 

For this week's challenge, the sponsors are Lisa's Altered Art and Eureka Stamps.  The Scripture/Word Art for this week is Psalm 91:11.

You may use this for your creation this week, but are not required to.  Anything goes as long as it is framily-friendly and uses an encouraging, uplifting sentiment.

Here is my card for the challenge this week:




(Click on the photo for a better view)

I printed the Scripture on white cardstock and cut it using Labels 20 Dies.  The card base is Baja Breeze.  I cut a white mat using Romantic Rectangles and added a piece of Parisian Breeze Designer Paper (one of my favorite dp that I save for special occasions).  I added the Scripture die cut with pop dots and embellished it with flowers, butterflies, pearls and a bow.  The largest flower was made with Heartfelt Creations' Vintage Floret Dies.

Card Recipe:

Paper: Solar White (Neenah), Parisian Breeze (Stampin' Up)
Ink: Printer ink, Aegean Blue (VersaMagic)

Here is my take on the challenge this week...

I decided to make another ivory on ivory card for the color challenge (CC406) at Split Coast Stampers, this time a wedding slider card.  I love the Elegant Scrollwork Die and have been playing with putting a few together like a bouquet.  I finally came up with this design for it.

My "old" on this is the designer paper on the inside, it's actually an old patterned card piece that I've had for years!  The "new" is this "Love One Another" Stamp Set.  I love this set!  It's the same one I used on the wall hanging last week for my "Time With Kathy" post.  Here's a picture of the set again.

Card recipe:

Stamp: Love One Another (ODBD)
Paper: Natural White (Neenah), designer paper (stash)
Ink: Antique Linen Distress Ink (Ranger)
Accessories: Very Vanilla Seam Binding (RAK from Jill), roses (RAK from Sabrina), trim, adhesive pearls (Recollections), Elegant Scrollwork Die (Memory Box), Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Labels 23 (Spellbinders)

ODBDSLC121 *2nd Week* You Leave Me in Stitches

Hi there!

I hope everyone in the USA has had the opportunity to enjoy the holiday weekend. For many it is the last hurrah before school begins, for others school already begun. I have one of each myself! 

Since many go away for Labor Day weekend in the USA, we extended the "You Keep Me in Stitches" challenge to give our viewers ample time to play along. The linky is the same as last week's so you can add your creation on either post. Today the team would like to share more samples for this challenge.

This week's challenge:

"You leave me in stitches"

To make the challenge even more fun, we will be giving out a prize, a $15 gift certificate to be used toward stamps at the Our Daily Bread Designs store!! Entries for the prize must be submitted by Sunday, September 2nd at 8 p.m. EST. One random winner will be chosen and announced next Saturday.

Here is my second take on the "stitches" challenge. 

 

 

 

 

 

Once again, I did faux stitching!  This one came out a little better than last's weeks faux stitching.  I started this card with Proverb 9:11 verse in a beautiful font and the Fairy Belle designer paper.   I wouldn't normally put this two colors together, but the designer paper ties it all in nicely.

Stamps: Birthday Blessings (Our Daily Bread Designs)

Distressing or Tearing - Elphine House Australia

Hi there!

It's time for a new challenge at Elphine House Australia!  This time the challenge is to use distressing or paper tearing on your card or project.  The only paper tearing I usually do is by accident, and the only distressing is on how I'm going to get done on time LOL!!!  I recently bought a new distressing tool which made it much easier.  Here's what I came up with!

Here's the front of the card:

And, here's the inside:

This is another new Elisabeth Bell stamp from EHA called Fairy Faye Flying High.  Isn't she cute!  I colored her with my Prismacolor Pencils and mineral spirits trying to match these pretty Fairy Belle papers from Prima.  These papers are gorgeous!  I wanted to put the wings on the front, but I didn't like the way it looked so I put them on the inside.  When you turn the wings upside down, it kind of looks like a tulip...I may use that sometime!

Here are all the ingredients I used:

Stamps: Fairy Faye Flying High (EHA), Short & Sweet (SU)
Paper: Fairy Belle (Prima),  Solar White (Neenah), white (Georgia Pacific), Baja Breeze (SU), plum/rose cardstock (DCWV Cardstock Stack)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine), Aegean Blue (VersaMagic)
Accessories: Labels 8, Wings of Hope Dies (Spellbinders), Elegant Scrollwork Die (Memory Box),
Word Window, Modern Label Punches (SU),Flower Burst 3/4" (Fiskers), distressing tool, Baja Breeze Seam Binding (RAK/SU), flower (Prima), Prismacolor Pencils, mineral spirits, adhesive pearls (Want-2-Scrap), Gold & Diamond Stickles, Aleene's Paper Glaze, microbeads (Martha Stewart)

To join in the challenge, you can use any Elisabeth Bell stamp or digi image.  The winner will be chosen randomly and will recieve 2 Elphine House Australia Stamps of their choice!  That's very generous!  Here's a link to their Blog to check it out: Elphine House Australia Blog

I'm also submitting this to the Really Reasonable Ribbon Challenge #49 to use flowers and ribbons which you can find here. 

Thanks for visiting today!

Blessings!

Simply Trust - Proverbs 3:5,6

Hi there!

I made this card for a couple of Challenges using mostly "leftovers" from other projects.  It's amazing what you can do with what you already have, especially if you keep things organized!  All the pieces I used were filed away in my recipe card boxes where I store them.  If you're interested, I posted about this around a year ago.  You can find it here if you want to check it out.  You can also see all my organization posts on my blog by clicking "Organization" under the "Labels" heading on my side bar (way down).

Anyway, I'm submitting this to a couple of challenges at Split Coast Stampers, TLC379 - distressed edges and CAS172 - love.  Distressing is something I never do, I find it distressing lol!  I finally bought a paper distresser from Tonic and it wasn't too bad to do.  For the clean and simple challenge, this about as CAS as I can get although for some it probably isn't very CAS!

I'm also submitting this to Little Birdie Blessings to use Scripture.  Abby has some wonderful thoughts on "Balancing Priorities" talking about Mary and Martha.  For me, this is a daily struggle that I ask God to help me with.

Also, I'm submitting this to Word Art Wednesday Challenge #30 where you can use anything uplifting or Scripture.  I thought I was using the right verse for WAW, but it's actually for Matthew 5:16.  Oh well!

For complete ingredients:

Stamps: Scripture Collection 2 (ODBD)
Paper: White (Georgia Pacific), Solar White (Neenah), Pool Party (SU)
Ink: Onyx Black (VersaFine)
Accessories: Flower & adhesive pearls (Recollections), White Seam Binding (Really Reasonable Ribbon), Elegant Scrollwork (Memory Box), Labels 8 & Elegance M-Bossibilities (Spellbinders), Paper Distressing Tool (Tonic)

That's it for today!  Tomorrow I will be showing you a new stamp set from Our Daily Bread Designs' June Release, so stay tuned!!!

Blessings!

Here's my take on the challange...I'm not the best with sketches...lol!
