Thank you for Being You - Karen Giron Challenge and Blog Candy Giveaway Winner!!!

TGIFeveryone!  I hope it goes by fast and we can get on with the weekend! 

THE BLOG CANDY WINNER - Congratulations goes Jenny from Cards and Crafting!  Jenny, please email me your info and I will get your goodies right out to you!  It's so exciting to get new stuff to play with...especially when it's FREE!

Todays card was made from Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 112 I love this sketch..  There is so much you can do with it and make small changes for a whole different look. I got a little carried away with the layers but I love the way it turned out.  I think it was my favorite card I made last week.   

I started with a Rose Red base and layered Wild Wasabi and So Saffron.  Using the scallop circle I made a template and daubered the clouds iin the background of the shimmery white cardstock.  I created the side embellishment using the 3/4" circle punch and layered them down the side.  The sentiment is stamped on shimmery white and matted using the scallop oval.  For the finishing touch I added the butterfly with a dimensional!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Friends

Happy St. Patricks Day everyone!  Todays card follows the weekly sketch from Karen Giron's blog...the Sweetest Thing.  I love the layout of the sketch as it allows for lots of layers.  One of those layers was made using the dots embossing folder.  It is so versatile and adds a little punch to any project.

There are only two weeks left for Sale-a-bration.  If you would like to place an order you can order directly from the link at the top of my blog.  There are lots of really nice set as well a the border scallop punch you can get for free if you spend $50.

Enjoy!

For You

Morning all! It's another chilly morning in Florida.  I am certainly ready to see some Florida weather and green grass.  I don't think I have seen a winter as cold as this one has been and it's not consistent, just when you think it is going to warm up it's freezing again. 

Here is a card that can be used for just about any occassion. I used my dauber and added the shading at the top of the white centerpiece and folded the butterfly so it would have more dimension.

TGIF everyone and have a great day!

Praying for You

Creating sincere cards is not an easy task.  It requires the right colors, theme and saying.  I have created this card to send to a friend going through a rough time.  The bird is a little cheerful but not "cutesy" and the sentiment is just what I was looking for. 

I like to have several of these types of cards on hand so they are ready when I need them.

Thanks for visiting.
