Hello! I hope you all had a good weekend.
I will be honest mine is full of worry. I know worrying is not good and accomplishes nothing! I will not rest easy until my son is home from a business trip to Doha Qatar. I guess God thinks I am pretty strong because he added another worry to the mix. My son laughs at me, that I am even worried.
Ok, on to the card! I did not think I was going to be able to make a card because I only have two re-inkers: Papertrey Ink, Simply Chartreuse and Hibiscus Burst. I think it worked well enough and I am glad I was still able to play along. I love the MIM videos.
I hope you all have a worry free week, I have the worrying covered! :)
Thank you so much for stopping by!
Stamps: Wet Paint PTI and Lovely Layers
Dies: Lovely Layers
Sequins are from Pretty Pink Posh
Beautiful card! Thanks for sharing your work.
ReplyDeleteAbout Doha, please don't worry. I was there in December for a book signing, no problems.
Marybeth...this is simply gorgeous! I love your beautiful flower with the baby wipe stamping, it creates such a stunning look and those sequins, the perfect touch. You and your family are in my prayers for a safe trip, but I am sure he will be fine. A mom never stops worrying.
ReplyDeleteHello, I found you because of the beautiful card you made with the baby wipe technique for MIM. I wanted to say Mothers never stop worrying and my son says I worry to much. I will be praying for your son!
ReplyDeleteThis came out wonderful so soft and pretty. Love those sweet flowers. Have a blessed day

Such a beautiful result with the 2 re-inkers you used!
ReplyDeleteThat stamp and die set is shown to its best with this technique. You're so clever.
I love the comments of our sweet blog friends above. We moms have a built in worry gene, and fortunately we can all share by praying for each other! Be at peace my friend!
Your card is lovely. Wasn't sure I wanted to even try this technique...till I saw both Ashley's card and yours. Can't wait to play.
ReplyDeletePraying for your son, for safe travels. My daughter travels a lot for her job, and I worry too, even it's just a couple hours from home.
Marybeth, your card is stunning! I love the colors and CAS design!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers for your son's safety home from Doha. It's in a Mother's very being to be worried...I don't think that it is ever easy no matter how old our kids are. {{{HUGS}}}
This is beautiful. I love how the flower turned out.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful Marybeth...those colors totally work together! I will keep your son in my prayers!!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!!
ReplyDeletecool...haven't watched the video yet!
ReplyDeleteOnly two reinkers certainly didn't hold you back, Marybeth. Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you to have peace while you wait for your son's return. I know I would be anxious too.
Beautiful card!
ReplyDeletegorgeous, gorgeous card, marybeth!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always. The two colors worked out beautifully. Leave it to us mothers to worry. I will prayer that your son returns home safely.
ReplyDeleteYou always manage to make the most beautiful cards! I absolutely love this one!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous. Good thoughts for your son' safe journey home.
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. I love how the flower came out with the colors you used. Great job on the technique. Saying a little prayer for your son's safe return.
ReplyDeleteAll you needed was two re-inkers to make this BEAUTIFUL card, MB! LOVE that flower, the sequins, and the sentiment! FABULOUS!
ReplyDeleteThat flower looks amazing! And I do like the touch of sequin bling too.
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous!! Mom worrying....think that's normal and justified no matter what "that boy" says! Have to support my own motherly instincts :) thinking of you!
ReplyDeleteFor only 2 colors, this turned out beautifully Marybeth! I tend to forget I have this set until I see others use it and then think "why didn't I think to use that set?!" Maybe I should just set it out on my desk so I remember....... :0)
ReplyDeleteFrom all your comments, I see that all mom's worry, including me too! So easy to think we have control when God just smiles and tells us what a waste of time...He'll take care of EVERYTHING! But we can pray and I will definitely pray for safety and traveling mercies for your son. :0)
Great choice of stamp sets Marybeth! And with your two colors you did Lovely Layers great justice.
ReplyDeleteAs a mom of any child, you can't buck the worry gene. I am sure our Lord is watching over your son and he will soon be home safe and sound. :)
Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteMarybeth this is beautiful!! I love your pretty bloom. I will be sure to keep your son in my prayers. But I also know he is in GOOD hands ;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Card!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can a mother not worry about her child being in a country with so much violence! I'll pray that God will take that worry and give you some rest! And what a gorgeous card, as always! Your colors are perfect and I love how the stamping fits in the die cuts. And as always, I love how you use those sequins!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Marybeth. You always manage to take my breath away with your designs. I'll be praying for your family, and for the safe return of your son. My all-time favorite bible passages are from Philippians 4:4-7. They've helped me through some really hard times, and I hope they help you too. Bev
ReplyDeleteThat's what mothers do! Worry when their children are put at risk.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to you having worries and it's a natural thing, so don't be to hard on yourself. It shows how much you care and love your children! And that's a wonderful thing to cherish.
As for your son, what does he know? Maybe he just wants to ease your mind a little bit. :-)
Your card is FAB as always and the colorcombo is just perfect. Love the sentiment, so playful. :-)
Or is the right word 'whimsical'?
Marybeth, take care sweet friend!
We'll say our prayers also for your son!
Bye,
Marjolein
Oh my goodness, Marybeth, this is LOVELY! I haven't had time to watch the video so I'm not sure how you achieved that look on the flowers but whatever you did it sure makes for a BEAUTIFUL affect!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness the stamping here is just mind blowing :) love this card !
ReplyDeletePraying for the safe return of your son! Your card is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI know the worry, but in a different way. Worry....well it comes with the job title. Wish there was a way around it.
ReplyDeleteOh my is this beautiful! Such a happy sigh here! LOVE!
Beautiful color profile you created Marybeth! A few years ago I asked my mother how she ever let us leave home :) worrying is definitely part of the job description.
ReplyDeleteHmmm, I don't know, lemme think, hmmm, you say you think your meager reinkers "worked well enough," eh? Oh, heck, YEAH! They worked beautifully, perfectly even!! I love, love, love this sweet and pretty card!
ReplyDeleteI would be worrying, too, Marybeth, so now you have lots of crafty sisters worrying and praying with you! That will help lighten your worry and that's what friends are for! Do let us know when he makes it home safely.
Thank you so much for editing your post to add a link to my NBUS Challenge and for your congratulations! I appreciate your spreading the word and your friendship! Hugs, Darnell
BEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, Marybeth! You did an awesome job with the reinkers. Love your layout with the gorgeous flower and sequins! Hope your son has a safe trip. I won't tell you not to worry though. I worry when my hubby drives to Topeka, just two hours away!! It's definitely a female thing!!
ReplyDeleteExcellent. Beautifully done.
ReplyDeleteMarybeth, first let me say that I love the title of your post. My grandmother recites that every time she hears me sigh. Your card is beautiful. I love your flowers. I didn't think that my flower die could pull of this same technique. My prayers are with you and your family. Your son will be home soon safe and sound. Great job.
ReplyDeleteYour card is beautifully done with just two colors! I echo the sentiments of all the others ladies. Your son will be home soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Marybeth, and such a fun way to use Lovely Layers, my favorite stamp set!! I'm sorry you've had worries. I know how it is with our children. We just can't help it. I hope he has returned safely by now :) (hugs)
ReplyDeleteMarybeth in my fog this week I missed this post. I forgotten how much I love the Lovely Layers set! I know how worried you have been about Richard. Praying for his safe return, so you can sleep easier my friend.
ReplyDeleteI really love your flower! Keep the faith - whatever you may have.
ReplyDeleteI saw your beautiful card but missed the part about your son. We all with him safe travels and I hope he is home soon. xxxx
ReplyDeleteWorked "well enough"?! This is gorgeous, Marybeth! I adore this card! Of course you worry--only natural. Trusting he has a successful, safe trip & you can soon give him a big hug!
