Friday...did someone say....

it's Friday? Oh my goodness, where has this week gone? Hope all of you, my stamping friends, have had a good week. I have been kind of busy trying to get things done...as usual ;D;D, but it is all good. This past Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday my 8 y.o. had the AIMS test and she was freaking out. Oh my, how do you tell a 8 y.o. that you won't have to stay behind and do 3rd grade all over if you have one or two questions wrong ;D? Anyhow, I am glad it is over. I think it helped her a lot that I wrote encouraging notes for all 3 days, well, actually for 2 days and daddy wrote one for the last day,and she said that was her favorite one.



All right enough about that. Are you ready for TWO creations? Yes, I have two cards to share with you all. For my first one I was using the amazing Origins DP from Basic Grey...I love this paper ;D.




Our help is in the name.....




Recipe:


Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Basic Grey Origins, PTI Dark Chocolate





Stamps: ODBD Scripture Collection 3





Ink: SU Close to Cocoa, Mellow Moss, Chalk Ink Bisque





Accessories: Nesties Labels 11, Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge for the flower and leaves, Studio 18 Rhinestones, Recollections half pearls, chocolate satin ribbon, antique brass cross charm, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, Pearl Glimmer Mist (flower), foam tape, 3D foam dots



Now, don't you just love this paper? I think it is about time for me to order another pad ;D.



All right, on to my second card. This one I made for the Bible Verse Thursday Challenge #50 over at Christian Paper Crafts Magazine. This week the theme is "SHE"!!! Make a card or project that involves any verse about a woman or women. For my card I used one of this month's new release from ODBD called "Mom". This set is so very versatile, really. Since I already have my Mother's Day cards for my Mom and my MIL done, I thought I just use the scripture and leave for whom it is off and use it as a Birthday card or so ;D!!! So when the time comes and I use this card all I do is stamp "Happy Birthday" on the inside. I love this scripture and says so much about a strong woman. :D



She is clothed.......




Recipe:
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, Bazzill textured moss, Memory Box Frond


Stamp: ODBD Mom

Inks: VersaFine Onyx Black, Tim Holtz Distressing Ink Antique Linen, SU Mellow Moss

Accessories: Top die like frame and base cut with my Cricut Expression and the Accent Essentials cartridge as well as the flower (frame was cut at 3.5") MayArts crochet ribbon, May Arts ivory sheer ribbon, MayaRoad leaf stick pins, Cuttlebug embossing folder Textile to give the frame some texture, Kaiser Rhinestone in Lippy Red, foam tape

What do you think? Wouldn't you agree that this card would pass for any occasion if it is given to a woman? I just love it,hehe!!

Well, this is it for me for right now. Make sure you come on back tomorrow as I will be posting another Shining the Light Challenge! Earth Day is coming up next Thursday, so we will be creating a card or project that focuses on that day. Hmmm, what could that be? Come on back and find out...I promise you, you will be amazed about our creations ;D.

Have a fabulous and creative day!!

Hugs and blessings,

Hi on this sunny....

Friday my stamping friend!!! I am sorry I have been MIA for a few days, lots of stuff going on, plus not feeling so well, but it is all good ;D.


I have some cards to share with you all. Two of them use the same stamp, but there is a reason for that...one is going to Germany to my Mama and one is going to NC to my MIL. Yep, they are Mother's Day cards. Yesterday was release day at ODBD and this is a brand new set that was released yesterday. It is called "Mom" and absolutely gorgeous!! The two cards about to share with you all shows how different two cards can look made with the same stamps set. First I will show you the one that is going to my Mama ;D



Mom



Recipe:


Paper: PTI White, Memory Box Gossamer


SU Pink Pirouette, SU Certainly Celery

Stamps: ODBD Mom

Ink: VersaFine Onyx Black, pink chalk ink

Accessories: standard scalloped circles large, standard circles large, Nesties Fancy Tags, Zva Creative green flourish, petite oval large, Tulle butterfly, Prima Hydrangeas, Prima leaves, pink rhinestones, EX Success Diamond Lace edger punch, pink loopy trim







So, what do you think? I know my Mama loves flowers, she has the most beautiful garden and I hope she will love this little card...well, it actually is not little, it is 5.5"x5.5"...kind of my favorite size and shape, because most of you know that it hurts me to cut up DP, so I buy the 6"x6" pads and only have very little waste,LOL!!


All right, now that you have seen this fresh card, I guess that is what I want to call it ;D, on to the one I made for my MIL. She is 78 and loves roses, so here is a little more "Vintage" version done with the very same stamp set.



Vintage...Proverbs 31:25-26 for my MIL

Recipe:
Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, K&Company Classic K Bailey, Bazzill textured green cs

Stamps: ODBD Mom

Ink: SU Mellow Moss, Tim Holtz Distress Ink Vintage Photo

Accessories: Nesties Labels 5, Recollections Rhinestone Flourish, Maya Road leaf stick pins, May Arts crochet ribbon lace, Prima Willow Leaves, pink mini roses, Tim Holtz Distressing Tool, foam tape, 3D foam dots

So, you think this is a good Mother's Day card for someone who loves roses?

I sure hope she will appreciate the personalized card ;D.

Well, this is it for right now.......I will be back in the morning with a new ODBD Shining the Light Challenge. I hope you come back to visit me tomorrow and get a chance to play along. You all know we always have something fun up our sleeves...plus you can win a $ 15.00 gift certificate that can go towards a stamp purchase at the ODBD store ;D;D;.

Thanks for stopping by today...I am about to head out the door to get some Easter shopping done with my girls....they've got spending money from Oma (my Mama) and can't wait to spend it, LOL!

See you all tomorrow!!!

Hugs,
