Hey Ya'll,

Are you having a great day?? It's mild, sunny and beautiful today in my neck of the woods, which makes it all the harder to make a Sympathy card for a friend...but I made one.

I'm so sorry for their loss and the friend I am sending this to is such a sweet person...I hope it lifts her a little knowing she has friends out here in blog world that truly care about her.

 

So this will be taken to the Post Office tomorrow morning and sent on it's way.

Thank you for stopping by to take a peek at my card and I hope you have a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Mother's Day...

Hiya Everyone!

I hope this beautiful day that the good Lord has made is finding you well.

We all know in the USA that Mother's Day is this coming up Sunday...well I have been pulling my hair out trying to come up with cards for my MIL and DIL. (My Mama passed away almost 7 years ago - so I don't get the joy of giving her a card...and I truly miss those opportunities!)

Oh my word, I have several different card bases cut and lying around on my desk, just waiting to become the beautiful cards I see in my little mind's eye...they just were NOT the "right" cards for either of the ladies on my list! But, FINALLY it came together! I am soooo happy that I have Penny Duncan and her fabulous files to thank for my MIL's card and the one for my DIL was totally cased from Pinterest!! LOL And I used papers the I received in a RAK from my friend Elizabeth for this one. So these cards are possible because of my friends!!! Thank you, Girls!

All of the elements - and I mean all except the ribbon and pearls - we cut using my Silver Bullet Pro electronic cutter...have I told you how totally fab it is?? LOL and SCAL software...LOVE them both!!

This one is my Mother-In-Law's card...it will be hand delivered.
The rose and the "windows" are a pale pink iridescent vellum, and the card is #110 Staples Card stock in white. Using Penny's files, it was a breeze to put together (Thanks Penny, for such awesome files!!)

The inside is printed and then cut (utilizing the Print & Cut with the SCAL software and my SBP). I used a free image from Astrid's Artistic Efforts for the design and then added the wording in the program.

 This one is for my beautiful Daughter-In-Law...and it went in the mail today, so she should have it in plenty of time. :0) The card base is Green Bazzil Basics card stock and the designer paper is from DCWV The Sweet Blossom Stack (thanks again, Elizabeth...I love it!!)

Happy Mother's Day to all of the Mama's out there!

So that is pretty much all I have for today, But I most assuredly thank you for taking a few minutes from your day and spending them with me! I hope to see you here again soon.


Until then,

French inspired & a challenge completed

Hi all,

I hope today finds you doing well. The weather has been gorgeous here for the past few days...beautiful sunshine...not hot, just a soft breeze and highs around 80 degrees...birds chirping, dragonflies soaring and bees buzzing...glorious days, indeed!

I have been working on potting various herbs...cause I've always wanted an herb garden...and now I have pots of aromatic herbs sitting all around my back porch...a feast for the senses of sight and smell...and I'm lovin' it!

I do have a vinyl project that I finally got done...I have wanted to take one of my "party buckets" and turn it into a French inspired planter...here is the results...tell me what you think...

 

 Next, I'm a member of a Yahoo Group and one of the moderators issued a challenge (and you KNOW I gotta play when challenged - LOL)...to make something using a cut file she created...which is the viewfinder file...I decided to make a mini...I still have to complete the inside...LOL

Here is my completed challenge...how's it look??

Everything I have cut...the vinyl, the papers for the folders (my file)...the print & cuts...the butterfly...the challenge file...EVERYTHING was cut on my Silver Bullet Professional cutter...it is A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! I love the combination of the SB Pro and SCAL - my choice software for cutting with!

Well...let me know what you think...

I thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to spend with me and I pray you have a blessed and creative day!

Until later,

Wedding Foiled & Vintage Simplicity

Hi all,

I hope you are having a wonderful week! Ready for the weekend?? I know I am!

It's now Friday morning and I have a wedding to attend this weekend. Nothing like waiting until the last minute to get your card made, now is there??  LOL Well, I have been playing with my new Foil Master that I got from Sherri at That's Scrap, Inc....and oh my, how much fun it is!!! And the variety of foils she has available are beyond amazing!

For this card I used the Silver Spectre foil that she carries for the outside custom monogram I made for the couple and on the inside, for the sentiment, I used the black foil.

Isn't it gorgeous?? I will most assuredly be making more items with my Foil Master!

Next on the agenda, I also have a birthday card that I needed to make and I wanted to go with a vintage sewing feel...so here is what I came up with...

Doesn't this just scream vintage simplicity??? LOL Okay, that was really bad, but fun, none-the-less!

Well, that is my offerings for today. I thank you for taking a few moments out of your day to stop by and spend them with me. I hope you will do so again really soon.

Until then, I pray you have a blessed and creative day!
