Just a little something...

Hi ya'll,

Here's a little something that I created a while back, and have never gotten posted.

I wish I had bought several of these sheets of cardstock at the Collinsville show this year.

There are several black and white images that can be left as is, or colored. I chose to

dig out some markers, and brighten mine up a bit.  Hopefully, it cheered the recipient a bit!

I seem to never get around to playing in challenges anymore, so I'm going to surprise

myself, and enter this over at Word Art Wednesday, in their Anything Goes challenge. Their

DT always does such a good job - they are encouraging and uplifting, and it's a great

place to hang out!

Hope you are enjoying your day - it is a gorgeous day in Missouri!

Thanks for dropping by!

Speedy Recovery

Hello!

So glad you stopped by today!

It's time for a new Photo Inspiration challenge at The House that Stamps Built!

Here is the beautiful photo that we were given for inspiration:

When I looked at this photo, I was drawn to both the beautiful summery color, and of course, the daffodils!  So here is what I made today, using these Repeat Impressions Stamps:

8624-E Recovery

904-L Daffodils 

I stamped a focal panel with the sentiment, and carried out the beautiful yellow theme with my card base and matting. The Daffodils were stamped and fussy cut, then attached with some pop dots.

The finishing touches were to Glossy Accent the flowers, and add a bit of bling. Super quick

card, and I think it turned out very nicely! 

Now, it's your turn!

Come on over and join us in our Photo Inspiration Challenge!

Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, 

but if you do, you have double the chance of winning!

I can't wait to see your beautiful cards using this photo!!!

Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders!

Now, it's time to see what my DT friends have created!

Hope you link up a card this week!

I'm entering this card in the Word Art Wednesday challenge!

Faith...

Howdy, folks!

Is it really Friday already?

I've actually had a bit of time this week to create for a challenge or two!

Love it when that happens!

Today's card was created in a matter of minutes. Don't you just

get all excited when a free digi sentiment, and some wonderful patterned

paper does all of the hard work for you?  I found this Kraft-type paper

pad last week at Hobby Lobby, and it's great for cards like this one!

I love this 'faithful" scripture!  This card will be entered into

the Word Art Wednesday challenge - anything goes.

If you are interested, you can grab the sentiment there - each week,

a new verse is provided.  You can create with it, or with any

'uplifting' type of sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by - have a great weekend!

Word Art Wednesday - just in the nick of time!

Hi again!

Wow - two posts in one day?  Sometimes, I amaze myself! lol...

I spent a wonderful time with my friend Shirley today. We literally locked

ourselves in her girl cave for HOURS, and only came out for food or restroom breaks.

What fun!  Thanks, Shirley - not sure which one of us needed that the most!

Mr. Mojo has returned.

Here is one of the cards we made.  We've been seeing these cards made with the Stampin'Up! Scallop Tag Punch, and since we both own one, we decided to give it a try.  The paper is also a new paper from Stampin'Up! The sentiment is a stamp from Hobby Lobby - don't remember who makes it.

Used my Perfect Layers Rulers to create the beautiful mats - check out my sidebar for details!

We both love the way it turned out, and I'm going to squeak this in to Challenge #132 at Word Art Wednesday, JUST in the nick of time!  I think it closes in about 6 hours.

Have a good evening,

I'm on my way to see what you've been up to!

Thanks for looking,

Patti J.

Good Friends...

Happy Friday!

I needed a card for a friend, and saw this sentiment over at the Word Art Wednesday blog today.

I nabbed it (they have the YUMMIEST sentiments!), and here is what I created 

with it.

I'll be entering this in the Word Art Wednesday challenge #113 (anything goes as long as it's family friendly and encouraging).

I used some old TAC paper for the stars, a star charm from my stash, the Word Art Wednesday sentiment, Spellbinder's Labels 28 and Decorative Labels 28.  Also used some Want2Scrap Bling for the finishing sparkle.

The Decorative Labels 28 and the pretty bling, were both gifts from my friend, Debbie Seyer.

Debbie creates the most beautiful things, and is so thoughtful!

Check out her blog if you have time!

Have a wonderful weekend!

They are now predicting 3 degree high on Sunday, and snowfall of 8-10" - egads!

Hugs & Blessings,

Patti J.
