A Couple Birthday Cards

Hello Friends! I sure have missed all of you and creating with you!  Today I have a couple of cards to share with you that I've created for my children for their birthdays this week.  The first one above was for my little "6" year old boy.  I used the wonderful dump truck image by Scribbles by Sandy and a misc sentiment I found in my stash.  I used this cool embossing folder for the background and some wonderful navy slightly embossed polka dot paper underneath.
Next is the card that I made for my "15" year old daughter.  I used a bunch of things, just to play around a bit.  I used this wonderful sun rays embossing folder and some crocheted flowers.  Then I used a butterfly punch and added some lace and pearls.  For the inside I used a few stamps and then added a touch of colour to the greenery and some green dots to finish it off.  Then I thought while I had my ink out, I'd just stamp on a sentiment on the inside.  So there you have it.  I had lots of fun and they both loved their cards. I'm a happy Mommy!

I'm sharing this second card with Word Art Wednesday.
Thank you so much for dropping by! Have a beautiful day!

Do You Love Manly Frogs?

Here's my Manly Frog called Carl - I Heart You from Scribbles Designs.  Do check out Scribbles Designs for some great digis! I've coloured him with pencil crayons and then popped him up over a homemade lily pad.  The papers from my stash, but I thought it was fun and characterized the movement of air and water and reeds that you find in ponds.  The sentiment I just grabbed from a folder of left over digis and I'm not sure where it's from.  Then I added some green rhinestones for a final touch.
There's a Masculine card challenge going on over at Scribbles Designs Blog....do hop over there and check it out!

It's Manly Time!

Hi! It's challenge time again at the Scribbles Design's Blog!  It's all about the men this time and we'd love to see your masculine cards!
For my card I've used this fantastic apron image and coloured it with pencil crayons.  I used some misc paper and some burlap ribbon stapled on.  I added a touch of bling flourish for the smoke from the BBQ! Sandy has a ton of great images so do head over to the Scribbles Store and have a gander!
I know that it's a challenge for me to create masculine cards, but who doesn't love a challenge??? do come see the great inspiration at the Scribbles Challenge Blog!

Leaving a Legacy

Hi Everyone, it's midway time for the Scribbles Designs Challenge for Mothers or a special woman.  I'd like to encourage you to join in the fun and pop over to the Scribbles Challenge blog to see some wonderful inspiration as well! For my part I've created this card using Sandy's wonderful rose image found HERE at the Scribbles Designs Store.

I used some wonderful paper from the Dollar Store and some lace I had in my stash. I added some bling and a sentiment from Portafolia.  As I was making this card I was thinking of the wonderful legacy that some ladies have left behind them.  Legacies of trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation and sharing it with others, of caring for their families unselfishly and being true solid friends.  These women inspire me to follow in their footsteps as a woman and to follow after the Lord Jesus Christ they followed, learning from Him.
"Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ." -1 Corinthians 11:1
I would like to share this card with Word Art Wednesday this week and I encourage you to drop by there to.  
Have a beautiful day!

A Woman I'm Thankful For

I believe we all have a woman in our lives that has made an impact on who we are today!  As a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, I look up to other older women in the faith and the lessons that they share.  I have a friend named Rose-Marie that I love hearing from (we live a long ways apart) and she always is encouraging and real with me.  She's such a blessing!
Titus 2:3 "The aged women likewise, that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;"
Each day is a day to learn and to put into practice those things learned from God's Word.  
Today begins a wonderful new challenge at Scribbles Designs.  It is to make a card for Mother's or a special woman in your life.  
I have used one of Sandy's beautiful flower images (Flower 2) and I actually coloured it with water based markers.  Then I used some distress in in broken china to ink the empty space.  The background is a fun embossing technique: you ink the folder and then emboss and the raised area is white, this I inked with another colour.  The sentiment is from Studio G and then I added a few ribbon layers.  
We'd love to see your creations for the special ladies in your life! Do pop over to the Scribbles Designs Blog and see the wonderful inspiration that the design team has created for you and then check out the details of the challenge! Oh, and if you'd like to get an image from Sandy's store to play along (this is optional, but we love to see them) you can pick one up HERE at the Scribbles Store.  
Have a wonderful day and don't forget to make time to tell these ladies that you love them!

I'd like to share this card with Word Art Wednesday.

Where To?????

Hello! Are you ready for another fancy fold and a Scribbles Design image?  Here's Sandy's wonderful Hike Brr all dressed up and ready to start on an adventure!  There's still time to play with us at Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog!
I've coloured him with pencil crayons and a sharpie ( I just couldn't get the black right so.....) I found this really great fold while poking around at fold cards and thought I'd give this a go.  I used misc papers that I was given from a friend! I love scraps from others....one woman's trash is another's treasure!  Then I added a fun page panel behind Brr and some fun sticker fish, eagles and a few others on the inside.  I took a button and popped a leaf brad in it and then popped it up on a foam square.  Oh, and a fun detail that I just had to try was paper piecing the map!  I left a sentiment off because I'm not sure what occasion I want to use this for.....any ideas?
We want to see your fancy shaped and easel folded cards! so pop over to the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog and share share share! Remember that you get UNLIMITED entries if you use Scribbles Designs images and 3 entries with other images.
Here's a few more pics for you to see.

Penguin Thanks

Hello, I've another card to share with you this week!  I wanted to create a masculine thank you card and thought that these penguins could help  me out.  This handsome guy is called Brrr and you can find both images and more on this page HERE!
The paper is from Recollections and the ribbon is from Offray, the sentiment is an old block stamp and the flourish (I hope it's not too girly) I added for a winter breeze that's blowing Brr's scarf.
Do go have a peek around the Scribbles Designs store and if you like what you see and would love to work with Sandy's wonderful images then I'm pleased to say that she's holding a design team call right now until the middle of January.  You can find the details HERE!
