Joan's Garden Challenge #8

Good Evening Stampers!

Tonight I want to share a very quick card I did

for Joan's Garden. You really need to go to her site

 and check out all the cool stuff going on there.

Now on to my entry.

 Like I said it was a very quick one, not real detailed

 except for the layering of the flower and leaves.

I used JustRite stamps,& the Fleur De Lis nesties.

Some gold brads, and my Gold pilot marker.

Black Memento ink and Copics were the

 inks I used to color with. I embossed with the Sizzix

 swiss dot folder in my Grand Calibur, love that machine!

So there you have my quickie card hope you like it.

Please go check out Joan's Garden

BIG prizes available if you so hurry!!!

Until next time Big Hugs

P.S. Tomorrow I will post my big project I have been working on!!

Guest Designer Follow up

Hello Stampers!!

Hope your all enjoying good weather today, it's been

 fabulous here in NE Ohio today, sunny and around 50.

Finally LOL LOL, but it's not to last,tomorrow is to

 be in the lower 40's then 30's again!

 BUT spring will be here soon!!!!

Today I wanted to share what I did for the inside

 of my card that I did for Joan's JustRite Blog Hop,

( see posting below for more info.)

Since I did use one non JustRite stamp for the inside I

couldn't show it on the blog, but felt it was okay to

 now. I did use the JustRite flower stamp and part of

 the word one that was used on the front. I used it

with a stamp from The Stamp Barn. Again the pictures do

 not show well all the distressing and layers or even

the rhinestones, but you get the idea at least.

The size of the card is 6 inches by 7 inches.

The ribbon is the actual "fold" that holds it all together.

Well I have to get busy on a big project I am doing for my

Doctor I go to, that is expecting a baby in May. It is taking

me forever, hence this posting today and not something totally

 new LOL. At the rate I am going with it, the baby will

be here before I get it done LOL. So for now,

 Hugs to all and come back soon.

God bless you all!!

 Here is my card

For my card I used The "Beautiful Blossoms" stamp

set from Just Rite. I used SU cardstock. My Oval Scalloped

Grand Nestibilities. Memento black ink and Copic markers.

I had to use my Distress ink of course LOL.

My gold Pilot marker.The gold heart, rhinestones,

ribbon and gold thread were from my stash.

I also used a candy stick from Michaels that

I colored by running it over my Distress ink pad.

I cut out parts of the flowers and layered them.

Well now you have seen my card it's time

for you to leave a comment and go on to

the next blog and who knows maybe you

will be a winner of one of the

FABULOUS PRIZES!!!

Good luck everyone!!

Sympathy Card

Happy Friday Everyone!



Today I have a sympathy card that I want

to share with you. I pray that this will in some way

help ease the grief for the lovely lady that I am

sending this to.

Its hard to see but the lace has distress ink on

 it and it is a lot more cream then white, but it sure

came out white in the pictures for some reason.

Actually the last picture is more accurate of the colors.

Maybe I just need another camera

 or a real photographer LOL LOL

I used Just Rite and SU stamps.
Nestibilities label four was also used.

Beautiful Mirabelle paper and SU cardstock.

Memento ink as well as my favorites Distress inks.

The pretty lace is from my stash, it was pregathered,

 but I took out the gathering so it would lay flat.

The brads are from SU and some unknown ones.

You can see in the last picture

the envelope I did to match the card. I think adding

 decorations to the envelope really finishes off the

 whole project and so much of the time I can actually use

 up left over scrapes from the project to do it with.

So there you have it my sympathy card.

 Well I pray your not in need of any sympathy

cards, but if you do I hope this inspires you.

Hugs and Blessings to all of you!

Joan's Garden Tag Challenge

Hi again, gosh I can not believe I have yet another

 posting for today, that makes three! WOW !

 I am on a roll LOL

Here is my entry for the Tag challenge at Joan's

as well as for 

 Just Magnolia and hÄnglar & stÄnglar Challenge

week #92 challenge

For this tag I used an adorable Magnolia stamp

that I cut out after I had colored her with Copics

and Prismacolor pencils. The green CS is SU that

I embossed, then added direct to paper ink which made

 the embossing stand out more.

The doily and bells are from my stash. I used a SU punch then

added the bells directly to that piece of CS with jump rings.

The circle nestie was used on SU metallic gold CS.

The ribbon is from Michael's. I used liquid applique on her hat.

I hope you like my tag creation, it sure was fun to make!

So now its your turn to go check out Joan's and Magnolias challenges

 and get busy creating!!!

Hugs and Blessings
