Falling Softly

Hello Friends! I have a card to share with you today that I've created for the Card Crafter's Circle Tread Lightly - Pastel Colours.  Do come to the Card Crafter's Circle and see the wonderful creations from the team!
It's been snowing quite a bit here where I live and I just love it when the flakes slowly drift down.  Today I've used this sweet image Alannah by our wonderfully talented sponsor Kathryne at Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.    I fussy cut it out and added to this winterland scene that I added faux pearl snow and a corner snow flourish to (plus a crocheted flower).  So it's simple and I've left the sentiment off so I can use it for whatever occasion presents itself.
I hope you're all having a great day!

It's Pumpkin Time!

Hey Y'all! Do you love pumpkins? I do, they taste just yummy!  This week at the Card Crafter's Circle we are looking for your pumpkin cards! Please come share with us!
For my card I've used this adorable Little Bear Pumpkin image from our delightful sponsor Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.  

I used some fun fall papers by Recollections and a couple bright leaves, a leaf brad and some pearls for the corners.  I hope you're enjoying your fall and perhaps you've gotten a prize pumpkin from your garden!
Have a beautiful day!

Raggedy Baby Boy!

Hi Everyone! It's time for the kids this week at the Card Crafter's Circle and the challenge this week is Toys - Children's Cards.  I have used this adorable Raggedy Baby Boy from our delightful sponsor Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.

For my card I must say that much of my inspiration past the challenge theme came from my dear friend Bonnie from Grandma Bonnie's Place.  One is the cute factor...which she's amazing at! also the crocheted edging around the sweet toy!  I paper pierced the holes and then just did a simple stitch all the way around (works great on heavier cardstock).  Then I added some great papers from DCWV, some ribbon and a couple ribbon tags and bronze pearls. The sentiment is from Lil' Inkers and I attached it with a star brad.
Tada! Thank you so much for stopping by! Do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle and join us in the fun!

For the Boys!

Hey Everyone! It's time for the guys! Card Crafter's Circle has a challenge for the boys this week and we'd love to see your masculine cards - young or older!
For my card I've used this sweet Boy Fishing on a Rock image by Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.  I also used this great set of sentiments.

Hello Everyone! It's Birthday Time! At the Card Crafter's Circle this week we are challenging you to create for a birthday!  Today I have used this sweet little one called Allie and Angel by our Sponsor Stamp Art Design by Kathryne.

Stripes and Gracie

Happy Sunny Day to You!  I hope you're enjoying some sunshine, even if it's just on the inside.  

Today I have a card to share with you that I've created for the Card Crafter's Circle challenge this week.  Stripe Me Silly!

Our wonderful sponsor this week is Stamp Art Design by Kathryne and I've used her fabulous Gracie image and sentiment.  I've coloured her up with pencil crayons and yes, if you look at her dress, I made a huge booboo! After my card was all done I accidentally dropped a stamp pad on her! Eeeek! Any suggestions on how to cover that?  I used some wonderful stripped paper by Recollections and some corrigated cardboard with a gel corner with a piece of matching paper under it.  That wonderful doily is a Cherry Lynn die that I earned by selling some of my crocheted flowers! Then after popping up the sentiment I added a bunch of pearls (ready made and liquid).  

I hope you have time to join us this week, stripes are so much fun and who wouldn't want to win some wonderful digis by Stamp Art Design by Kathryne?  Do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle to see some wonderful inspiration from my fellow designers!  

Have a beautiful day!

Butterfly Friend

Hello! It's time for another wonderful challenge at the Card Crafter's Circle and I invite you to come and  play along! It's all about Teddy Bears this time and I've chosen to use this sweet teddy called Butterfly Friend (Who doesn't love Teddy Bears?)

and the sentiment that came with it (separated into to section one for the front and one for the inside) from StampArt Design by Kathryne. It is so true that God has made everything beautiful in His time, and not always in ours.  A wonderful sister in the Lord Jesus reminded me of this this past week when I was struggling with something.  Even though I have read this verse many times, it really seemed to burn in my heart.  May I humble myself to his infinite wisdom and not puff myself up to demand that I know best.  In God's time I'll see the fruit that he knew best all along!
Kathryne is giving away a wonderful prize for the winner!  You could even chose some delightful teddy bears like you can see shown at the Card Crafter's Circle this week.

I have coloured up this image with my pencil crayons and fussy cut it out.  Then I added to some layers that I made with the sketch from Seems A Little Sketchy this week.  The papers are from K& Company and the ribbon is Offray.  The flowers are from Forever in Time as well. I would also like to share this card with Word Art Wednesday this week!

I hope you're having a great day and do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle blog to have a peek at the wonderful inspiration that the ladies there have to share.
Thank you for dropping by!

Stuffed with Lovely Layers!

Do you love layers? I do! This week at the Card Crafter's Circle, the challenge is all about layers and we'd love to see yours!
For my card, I've used an image from our wonderful sponsor Stamp Art By Kathryne.

I coloured her up and set her atop some lovely layers of patterned paper from Recollections.  I added some faux stitching, rhinestones and a touch of inking.  In the inside, I've used a sentiment from Kathryne's Grab a Hug Sentiment set.

Thanks so much for dropping by! Do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle for tons more inspiration!
Have a wonderful day!

What Shape are You?

Hi! No I'm not talking about you personally.  I'm an hourglass, a big one.....but you don't really need to know that!   No, this week at Card Crafter's Circle we would love to see your shaped cards! No regular rectangles or squares.  Here's my effort.

This one is a sweet image that I used for the actual card shape and it's from Stamp Art Design by Kathryne: called Kingdom kids w/sentiment.

I paper pieced the heart and coloured the rest with pencil crayons.  We also have a second sponsor again this week. MelJen's Designs

 so..... Yes, we have double prizes again! Yeah!

Well, I hope I've inspired you to join us.  We'd love to see what you come up with! Just pop over to Card Crafter's Circle for all the details and to see the other fabulous inspiration from the design team!
