Love U

The Play Date Cafe Challenge is all about cobalt, goldenrod and peony!

Here is my take on it. I really struggled with an idea and the colors but it turned out a lot better than I thought. The photo is not nearly as clear and sharp as it is when I am able to take the picture outside.

Supplies: Stamp - Stampabilities (Decorative Love  ER1116); Picket fence (Michael's); Hearts (WalMart-Wooden Shapes)

You can't tell from the photo but there is Glossy Accents on the hearts.

Copic Markers used on sentiment and all wood chips.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Blessings to you!

Thought For the Day:

"What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?" Romans 8:31 (NIV)

Happy Birthday Cone

I saw this button challenge on Lin's blog that she is participating in so thought I would give it a try.

This is for The Ribbon Reel Challenge "Button It".

The ice cream cone was made from two different templates I found on line. I ran the top and bottom through a Spellbinders M-Bossabilities ES-006 (Hexagons on one side and zig zag on the other.)

Believe it or not I found these cute buttons at Walmart :)

The sentiment is Hero Arts CL139. I use it a lot because it just the right size for small sliders. The slider is one of four in a set by Cuttlebug (37-1215 Sliders).

Thank you for stopping by!
Blessings to you!

You Make My Heart Happy

Moxie Fab World has a Hooked on Hexagons Challenge which ends July 30. Check it out!


Here is my entry:

Since I do not have any hexagon dies or stamps, I went online and found some templates here. I also decided I wanted to use gingham paper and believe it or not I did not have the color I wanted so I remembered that I had downloaded some free digi gingham papers some time back. So - - - I printed some gingham papers and then ran them through the printer with the hexagon template. 


I also found a template for the heart online here.


The butterfly is a Martha Stewart punch and the sentiment is Hero Arts CL129.


I am going to enter this in the CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Back in Black also.


Thank you so much for stopping by!
Blessings to you!

Thought For The Day:

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.

Thought For The Day:

"Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls—Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will JOY in the God of my salvation. The Lord God is my strength; He will make my feet like deer’s feet, And He will make me walk on my high hills." 

Habakkuk 3:17-19

Odds and Ends

I have been taking an online card class but have not been able to get my mojo going in the direction of the the class techniques. I find it difficult to be creative when I HAVE to be creative :) So I have just backed off and pulled out stamps and started stamping and here are a couple of them.

Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings to you!

Thought for the day:

"Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
    but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."

Lattice-Stretch Your Stamps

Today is the first day of our online class Stretch Your Stamps.

Lots of inspiration, tips and examples. I was somewhat overwhelmed at first :)

I was inspired by Lisa Carroll's card here:

Here is my card using the Lattice stamp to create my background.Stamped this on printed paper and white embossed.I stamped the Lattice again on yellow paper with blue embossing. I used My Favorite Things Flower Trio and Leaf Trio die for my flowers.  The sentiment actually says Just Saying Hello but I cut it so that I could use "hello".

Thought For The Day:

"My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
