Blessings in measures of oodles...

Hi there, and Happy Saturday!  I'm here today with my Scraptownlady post, and have chosen to, again, highlight some of the amazing designer papers that are carried in Cheryl's store.

My first item is the above CAS Christmas card (as many of you have specifically requested CAS!).  I love this beautiful distressed 'enhancement' from Authentique, and it made such a pretty focal image against the matching designer paper.  Hope you like it!  Two sheets of paper, and a few pop dots later, voila!

Lid, complete with Petaloo Flowers

Next up is the above Blessings box.  I have been hoarding this empty oatmeal container for eons and decided this was the right time to alter it.  Again, a very easy project.  I wrapped the container with the designer paper, used cut outs from the 'enhancement' sheet, added a die cut and a few flowers on the lid, and I have a wonderful container to hold all of my blessings.


Just for the record, I am, indeed, blessed in measures of oodles!

Thanks for stopping by today,

Patti J.

The Folder Organizer features a designer paper pad from Hobby Lobby - GCD Studios, Ella Blue. You can't tell from the photo, but the DP is a linen weave and feels like soft velvety fabric.  The bling is Want2Scrap, from Flourishes.  Ribbon from my stash.

The Scallop Card and Bag set is made from Kraft Cardstock. The beautiful orange CS, is the Venetian Pattern from Aumse Studio.  The white ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon, and the cute checked ribbon is from my friend Shirley - thank you, Shirley!!!  Butterflies are Cheery Lynn Designs Dies.

Sweet Day...

Happy Sunday, fellow bloggers!

Hopefully, you are all well, and out of harm's way.
First an earthquake, and then a hurricane....goodness, what a week for some of you!

I have a very 'clean' card to show today! No bling, no buttons, no ribbons, just clean!
I needed a card for a friend, and this one just evolved!

The images, sentiment, and "Sprinkles" DP, are all from Clear Dollar Stamps.
The set is called Yummy Cupcakes, and is pre-colored.
It comes with several digital images, both pre-colored and outlines,
pre-colored DP, and sentiments. What a deal!!!
The butterfly punch is a die. I'm embarrassed to say that the wrapper has disappeared.
I think it's made by Cheery Lynn Designs, but can't say for sure. Shame on me!

Thanks very much for stopping by, and have a wonderful Sunday!

Hugs and smiles,
Patti J.
