Girls Best Friend

Who says that diamonds are a girls best friend? My daughter says that horses are a girls best friend!

Today begins a brand new challenge over at Seems A Little Sketchy! and I'd love to invite you to play along! Just pop over HERE for the details.

For my card I've used an image from Delicious Doodles called Friends Forever and coloured it up with my pencil crayons.  The papers are from Reminisce and the sentiment is from Studio G.  The ribbon is from my stash. Oh and the star brad was silver so I inked it up with bronze to match and some bronze pearls from Forever in Time.
I'd also like to say that we are also sponsored by Delicious Doodles and they have a great prize for the winner!

Do pop over to the Seems A Little Sketchy Blog for some more great inspiration!

Need a Mitten?

Hello Everyone! Are you enjoying a snowy day? We sure are. I love building snowmen and this image is totally fitting with my mood today!
This image is called Mittens and is new over at Designed 2 Delight.  Looks like they've found all the mittens the children have lost while out enjoying the snow!  How thoughtful of them to display them so they can be claimed!
I've kept the layout simple and used papers from Recollections and some bronze pearls from Forever in Time.
Do bundle up and enjoy some of the snowflakes, even if it's just for a few minutes then come inside and enjoy some yummy hot chocolate to warm up!
I'm sharing this card at For Fun Challenges this week. Come join in the Buurrr your cold or Yikes your hot challenge.

We Remember!

November 11th is an important day for the world to remember!  It is the day that World War II ended.  A day to remember all those who fought for freedom there and for those who lost their lives on the battlefields.  It's hard to think of that happening, but as battles rage around our world, we should still remember those who are still fighting for similar reasons.  Poppies grow where once men fought, and it is these beautiful flowers that remind us of the price that was paid.  Thank you to the soldiers who fight for freedom!
Today begins a new challenge over at the Card Crafter's Circle, and I'd like to invite you to share with us! You can find the details HERE!
This week we have a wonderful prize put together by our very own Pauline, and it's gorgeous....do pop over to take a peek!
For my card I've used an image by Becky's Place and I've coloured it up with my pencil crayons.  The die cut is made with Spellbinders scallop oval and the little one on the tag is from a Fiscars oval die.  I added some lace and satin ribbon, some rhinestones, distressing and inking.  I hope you like it!
Have a wonderful day!

I Have Overcome the World

Such a wonderful thing it is to know that the Lord Jesus has overcome the world.  To rest in knowing that we can rest in the knowledge of serving such a Saviour!

A while back, I printed this verse off because it really struck a cord with me.  Sometimes I've struggled with things in life and to read this, it puts everything into perspective for me.
You can find this wonderful word art at Papercraft Memories - Word Art by Karen.  I've combined this with a gorgeous postcard freebie from Esther at Shoregirl Creations (You will want to check out her amazing art!), and a music tag from Sweetly Scrapped.  The paper is from K & Company and I added a bit of distressing and a matt decorated by decorative scissors and a few pearls.
Praying you will find rest in the Lord Jesus Christ, who has overcome the world!

I'm linking this up at Word Art Wednesday this week.

Snow Much Love!

Today I would like to share a card with you that I've made with a new image from Designed 2 Delight! Is't this wonderful - Snow Much Love it's called.  I've coloured it with markers and matted it to some bright orange cardstock from Recollections.  The patterned paper is from Paper Reflections.  I wanted to add a snowflake, but thought that this little white flower I made might be a good substitute (soft and fluffy) tied on with some orange satin ribbon.  I saw this sentiment on Pinterest and thought it perfect (although I can't for the life of me find who it was from -and yes, I forgot to write it down initially).  The rhinestones are just to add a touch of sparkle!
Hope you're all enjoying the day!  Find someone to hold onto and have a snuggle!

Do You Love Patterned Paper?

Do you love patterned paper? I do. So this week I'm pleased to be able to play with some for the challenge at Card Crafter's Circle.   I just bought some wonderful snowflake paper and thought this fantastic penguin by Bugaboo Stamps and it would go wonderfully together!  I used two patterned papers by Recollections, added a fun foam snowflake and some gauze under the image panel.  The sentiment is computer generated.  Plus to finish it off, I couldn't help adding some sparkle to the star and snowflake.  Oh, and there is a bit of inking on the papers I did with my color box blue ink.
So if you love working with patterned paper, or you're up for a challenge, hop on over to the Card Crafter's Circle and check out the inspiration and details there! AND there is a wonderful prize up for grabs, 7 digis from Bugaboo Stamps! Are you interested?
