Hello and Happy Thursday.......

my stamping friends!!! I have been on a roll ;D and I have a few more cards I would love to share with you. Since I've showed you some more masculine cards yesterday, I will switch gear again and show you some feminine ones today. Well, one of them is very feminine, the other is more Country !!



Joshua 1:3 is one of my all time favorite scriptures, it encourages me and gives me the needed fuel to make it through the week...sometimes the day. So, for my first card today I will share the card I created with this wonderful scripture




Be Strong and Courageous......






Recipe:


Paper: PTI Aqua Mist, White, Memory Box Frond

Stamps: ODBD Scripture Collection 3 Joshua 1:9

Ink: Versafine Onyx Black, ODBD Steel Blue

Accessories: Nesties Labels 6, ZVA Creative Soft Blue Pearl Flourish, small antique silver cross, Prima flowers, Recollections pearl center brad in blue, white crochet ribbon lace, hand dyed seam binding ( I used Glimmer Mist for it in the colors Patina, Iridescent Gold), handmade stick pin

That is number one, on to the second card, which is CAS and has a very Country felling to it, but you'll see why in a minute ;D

The blessing of the Lord.......

Recipe:
Paper: PTI Rustic Cream, Dark Chocolate, some DP from my stash (can't remember the name of it...sorry!)

Stamps: ODBD Harvest Blessings

Ink: Memento Rich Cocoa, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tea Dye

Accessories: Nesties Petite Ovals Large, Petite Scalloped Ovals Large, yellow/gold colored half pearls, Jute rock rack, May Arts Twill in natural, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, Copics

So, what do you think about these two so very different cards?

I think I will send this sunflower card to my Mama. She has the most amazing sunflowers in her little (well, not really that little ;D) garden...so I believe she would enjoy this one.

All right, this is it for today, I have to get a move on it. I have to be at the school to pick up my youngest in 10 minutes...yikes.

Thanks so much for stopping by today...it truly puts a smile on my face to see who comes to see me and gets some inspiration out of my humble little cards. You are the BEST!!!

Hugs,

Hello again.....

wow, this is my second post in one day......I hope I am not boring you! ;D


I had a few minutes this morning and as I was reading my blog list updates, I've noticed that Betty had another SNTODBD6 (Stampinb in Time Challenge) up!! Did you all know that Betty changed the rules a little 2 weeks ago...so not a specific stamp set has to be used anymore, but ANY ODBD stamps, YEAH!!!! Anyhow...I've decided that I was going to whip up a card real quick...'cause you know sometimes I need to encourage myself ;D;D.


Some may have noticed that I have created bunches of cards with the new Scripture Collection 3 and 4 that where released during Our Daily Bread Designs Anniversary and I must say...I am TOTALLY addicted to these stamps. There is a scripture for just anything in there. If you have not done so, head on over to the ODBD store and check it out, you will not be disappointed!!


But on to my card. Betty comes up with some pretty amazing challenges and this week she is asking to make a monochromatic card! Well, have a look and see what my interpretation of that is


Monochromatic Mark 11:24







Recipe:
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Kraft, K&Company Classic K

Stamp: ODBD Scripture Collection 3

Ink: Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Tea Dye, Antique Linen, Old Paper

So, what do you think? Do you think this works? If you would like to find out more about this wonderful challenge which runs bi-weekly, so you'll have lots of time to create, head on over to the ODBD Blog .
