Just a Note

I heard some sad news today on the message board at Card Swaps.  One of our dear members husband has lost his fight with cancer.  My heart and love go out to her and her family.  This is such a hard time.  I made this card with her in mind and I plan on sending it out tomorrow morning.  I hope it will help in some small way. 
I am also entering it into this weeks card challenge at Marks Finest Paper.  The challenge is to use stitching or faux stitching.  I chose the latter. My next card is for the Friends of Speedy TV at Marks Finest Paper.  The theme is to use flowers.  I did one in the middle of my card.  Hope this counts.  Both cards have sentiments from some of the stamps from this company that I have recently received.  Love them!!!
Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

My cards

I made these two cards today with 2 new stamp sets I ordered from Marks Finest Paper.  I fell in love with the cute Roasters and all the sentiments.  The other set has the chicken wire and a few more cute sayings.  They both come with a border stamp.  These are really high quality stamps for a great price.


I did the top one for a challenge over at CardMakers.  It is a recipe challenge hosted this week by Linda Jo.  I hope I included all the elements!!!  I also am going to enter this in a challenge over at Speedy TV.  The theme is to make anything this week.  The bottom card is being entered also in a challenge at Speedy TV.  This theme is to make a rainbow card.  Can't get much more of a rainbow look than this!!!  I found this idea for the card on Pinterest.  Got to love that site!!!

I did it again!!!

I just finished these two cards today.  I am going to enter them in a challenge on a new site that I just found.  So here is the first one... 

I used my new paper from JilliBean Soup and the stamp from Unity.
Here is my second one...

I used stamp sets from Papertrey Ink and added some ribbon from SU and a clip to hold the tag from Tim Holtz.

Thanks for stopping by and have a Happy Easter!!!

A few more cards today!!!

I have a few more cards to share today...  I can't believe that I'm adding again to my blog this week.  I must be on a roll. Ha...


 
Both of these I did for a crop on Cardmakers Magazines Swap forum crop last month. The top card challenge was to create a chevron stripe.  The bottom one was to create a quilt pattern.  It was a fun crop. 
Thanks for looking!!!
Hugs and Blessings
