Two Cards After The Fire



 Two cards today and one for MIM



 I loved this Botanical Blocks Stamp Set and I have to say I love the way this card turned out. I don't say that too often.
 The  Thinking of You is from Stamps by Judith . Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.


My top card uses this sketch turned on its side.
I also forgot to add that I used the Papertrey Ink 
Ice cream cone  die for my pie scrap.



 My first Card for MIM I got wrong.
 I think I have this one  done correctly!

I used Propose a Toast Stamp and die from Papertrey Ink,Soft Stone cardstock and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.


Helo my sweet friends, so many of you asked me how I was because of the fire. The Rancho Cucamonga Etiwanda fire was  my neighborhood . We are all fine after a very emotional and crazy day yesterday. Thank you!


 This what we saw from our front door.
 Everyone is fine, but it was scary.

  1. Oh My Gosh, Marybeth, how very scary for that fire to be so close. Happy you are safe~it must have been a very upsetting and emotional day for you and your neighbors! Thanks for letting us know you are okay.
    PS: I LOVE both of your amazing cards so much (the Botanical Blocks Stamp Set on my wish list now) :-) The pie chart card looks so pretty with those yummy scraps!

  2. Prayers of thanksgiving that you all are safe. I can't begin to imagine what you've gone through, but I also pray that this is all past. You can have some of our rain, if you want! Your cards are gorgeous, and quite therapeutic at such a time. Love those little champagne glasses. Beautiful colors in your "pie." Bev

  3. I can't imagine how scary that must have been to see that fire so close from your front door, but so glad to hear that you are ok! We just never know what each day holds for us, do we?! (probably best we don't!!)

    Both of your cards are so pretty! I told myself I didn't "NEED" the flower block stamp set, but sure am wishing I had ordered it...your card is absolutely beautiful! And your pie chart card is delightful too! (I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't read directions too carefully sometimes!)

  8. Thank God things are better in your neighborhood. The photos are frightening!
    Your beautiful card with sunflower is so Marybeth. Clean, elegant, shows off that stamp (which I haven't even used yet!) to it's max! And the sweet blue one toasting with bubbles made me smile. Lovely and in no way scrappy!

Looks so intriguing!
