All Things Possible With God







I wil  say this card is Clean and Layered 


Hello. Thank you all for your kind words .

 I used my beautiful new Lil Inkers Design  Stitched Butterflies Dies and my Paper Smooches Spiritual Sampler to make this birthday card. 
Yep birthday! I embossed …. the large butterfly and trail, as you know I love embossing with dies.
The patterned paper is from Authentique : Wishes and the card stock is from Michaels craft store. The flower sequins are from Paper Sweeties and were a gift.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Mary….. Who





I embossed using my Lil Inkers squares and then stamped in the middle of it. I added a beautiful memory box die that was a gift from my friend  Jeanne, a few pearls and gingham bow and done! This could be done in any color. 


Hi, this time the DT was asked to make a card with shades of gray and something about our own personality.  I chose M - Magnolia. Not only do I love the magnolia  flower on this M but M is kinda a big deal in my family . 
For one, I am one of 7 Mary’s but our name is all one word. 
Maryadona, Marybeth, Maryellen , Maryjo, Mark , Marykay, Marylou, Michael and Marysue! Yep even the boys name started with M. It's a long story and it was not intended to all start with Marysomething but as the girls kept coming my parents decided to go with it.  The girls don't have a middle name as our last name was very long. So one word and no middle name. 
Thats my M story! So you see this card can be for almost anyone in my family even my mom!

Want to see what the DT has made? 


Take care and enjoy this time you have!

Some of you may remember from this post Bright And Happy about my SIL’s diagnoses with pancreatic cancer. Since so many were asking I thought I would let you know she peacefully passed away early yesterday evening. She was 58 . Six weeks ago she had no idea she even had cancer. It was very fast. Olga never had children of her own but was a mother to all. 
Thank you all for your prayers, thoughts and cards. 


Good Morning! I didn't realy know what to do with myself so I just headed into the craft room.  I saw these colors on colourQ and decided to make a happy card, and Cas-ual Friday is use an oval. 

As you can see I used my new Bunnies & Bows Die and Spring Flowers Die Se from Lil Inkers Design. The eggs are in the flower set . I didn't even realize it until after I ordered and I was so happy I bought the flower set as well. Sentiment is from Stamps By Judith.

Take Care


I am also adding this to "Technique Challenge" VSC Challenge #22 something new

I used Lil Inkers Stitched matts on the card above. And the tag below is from Papertrey Ink.

Tea Time






Welcome to the Hop! We want to show off this new and adorable: 
Teapot  and  Tea Cup Die from Serendipity Stamps!


Isn't it beautiful! I was going to inlay the pink pieces that came out of the die but decided it was much easier to just add glitter to the two sided foam tape that I already added to the back. I love how easy these dies cut out.

Old and New With Some Hand Stitching


Edited to change the location of the flowers on the card.
 I moved them up !

!
Too low on this one.
Papertrey Ink 

Create a Birthday Card
I almost forgot to enter in this challenge.
I would say my card is clean and layered. 





Papertrey Ink felt.

I was not sure I was going to get the
but I am so glad I did. I was just messing around making these first two, not thinking outside the box or anything. I Love these dies and I know how to sew on a machine but I also love hand stitching. I used to do a lot of counted cross stitching years ago. 

My reading glasses fit in this one above and I thought it would be perfect for: tampons…. did 
I just say that on my blog! Shhhh!

Photos all taken at night.

After I posted this I did not like how low the flowers were so I moved them up and like it much better. It almost looked like they were falling off. 




 I was reminded of this March Inspiration file from Joyful Creations with Kim’s post.  I honestly made this card in less than 20 minutes , thats fast for me. I combined some old with new. I love embossing with dies and that is what I did again with this Papertrey Ink - Cover Plate: Deco Die .  

 Thanks for stoping by.  I know my visits to friends have been 
random , I am sorry.

Game On


 I went with the color and gloss!

March 2014 Blog Hop

 Welcome to the Papertrey Ink March Blog Hop! 
My glossy heat embossing is not showing up much in the photos.
 In real life its all very high gloss. 


My daughter is always requesting boy cards for her boys to give when they go to parties. She only wanted CAS!
I think they do make for a great boy card. She already went through the first 10 I made a few months ago.


 The stamp set is Boy Basics: Game On Mini Stamp Set 
From Papertrey Ink

 I bet you thought I would have something with flowers on it!
Enjoy the Hop!
