Word Art Wednesday - November 27


My Inspiration card! 

Today is a little shout out to my Mom! She sent me the card above with this beautiful sunburst - and it inspired my card for today. I love the pretty papers and layout.  My Mom even made her own washi tape here!  


My card for today is for the Word Art Wednesday Challenge.  I hope you will play along with us - it is very simple "anything goes", just create an uplifting and positive card and post it at Word Art Wednesday challenges.  You can use this week's verse below, but it is not required.  

Karen M. (Papercraft Memories) created the beautiful graphic for today's verse:  

And here is my take on my Mom's sunburst card! The designer paper is actually from the Japanese dollar store - Daiymo here in Southern California.  The die is the Circle Pierced MFT die, cut in half.




Thanks for peeking!

Loves Rubber Stamps - "Give Thanks" Challenge




Good Morning crafty people!  Today the Challenge at Loves Rubber Stamps is Thanksgiving.  We are sponsored by the wonderful Saturated Canary, but who needs an excuse to color up a Saturated Canary image!?! Since the theme is "Thanks" I decided to make a Thank You card for my daughters student teacher who has been going out of her way to help my daughter in class.  The little matching treat bag is for some chocolate. 

Patience....is what I am practicing with this HAIR! ....I know I am getting so much more patient the older I get, but working on detailed hair like this really lets you practice the art of patience.  


Above are the Copics I used.  

Hair:  E57, E49, E33.   Skin:  YROOO, YROO, EO2


You can find the supplies here at Loves Rubber Stamps!

{From the Heart Stamps} Sketch 44


Good Morning ladies! 

Today is a new Sketch Challenge over at From the Heart Stamps and the sketch is a cutie! 

I used the digi stamp Ali's Chick and Basket and I used it without the basket, for a less Easter look.  The color combo is a little odd, vanilla, cream and gray!





And the inside says "Smile.....Jesus loves you!~"

Hope you all have a wonderful day and play along with us at From the Heart Stamps Challenges.

My card inspiration today!



Awwwwww! Here is a photo of my son (who is now 11!) and he inspired today's card, which uses an image by Mo Manning.  I now know why Mo's images are so popular - they are super fun to color and I had a blast making this card.

My youngest son is now 2 years old, so needless to say I don't have much baby fever anymore....and what little I have could be satisfied by making this card.  



Mo Manning Image - "Bawling Benny"
Bo Bunny Paper -"Detour Collection"
Sentiment Tiddly Inks - "Hang in There"
Lawn Fawn - Star Die "Summertime Charm"


Thanks so much for joining us on our blog hop today!
