Have I Told You Lately....

Hello!  Today I am sharing a card using the hope4us (heart image) and the quote2love (sentiment) sets from The Stamps Of Life.  I really love the bold images in the hope4us set.  I stamped the heart in black on a scrap of DP leftover from my Authentique Wonder paper pad.  I also used some old text from a book.  I tore, inked and layered the paper behind the heart.
Always remember when you are using text from old books to scan what it says before adhering it to your card.  This is a card about love, but I noticed one of my torn papers, had a quote about death on it...not really appropriate!  Glad I caught it before gluing it down on the card!  :)
Hope you all had a fab weekend.  We were busy with basketball games, game night with neighbors, and a birthday party at Pump It Up.  We hadn't been there in a couple of years, so it was fun to jump around with the boys.  My parents even joined in the fun.  I can sure feel it in my legs and behind today with all of that jumping and climbing!

Thanks for stopping by!

In my prayers...

I wanted to share another card I made with the hope4us stamps set from The Stamps Of Life.  I stamped the main image three times with chocolate ink by Stephanie Barnard.  I then went back with green inks and a sponge, to fill in the leaves.  This is a really quick and easy, one layer card (OLC) to make if you are pressed for time.  I think I will make sets of note cards with this same design, just using the other images for little gift sets.  I like to have those type of gifts on hand for teachers, friends and family.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello! Today I have a very CAS, one layer card for you.  I used an image from The Stamps Of Life new set, hope4us.  I love the different bold, images in this set.  Perfect for CAS cards.  I also used a sentiment from the set, daisies2garden.  I added some baker's twine to the top.  I used inks by Stephanie Barnard in Licorice and Guava.  Stephanie's inks match PERFECTLY with The Twinery baker's twine! Love that.

Today we awoke to everything being coated with ice. BLECH! No thanks...I really just want at least one beautiful SNOW! Not happening as our temperatures are supposed to climb to 50 tomorrow. Crazy weather!

Thanks for taking a peek!
