Hi There!


Hi there! I have a new card to share with you that I've made using a From the Heart digital stamp.  It can be found HERE! The sentiment is from Hello Sentiments and can be found HERE!
If some of you were wondering, the company I design for called Designed 2 Delight is making some changes and is now From the Heart Stamps.  The Designed 2 Delight store is still open, but the new images will only be added to the new store, so click on the links above and check it all out!  When the Grand Opening comes, I'll be sure to share it will all of you!

In all the winter around me, I wanted a touch of colour and summer.  I've coloured up the image with markers (Lady bugs and beak) and pencil crayons.  The papers are from Recollections and K & Company.  I've added a touch of distressing, ribbon and some buttons to.
Just a little something bright and cheerful!  I pray you're having a wonderful day! Thanks for dropping by!

Garden Goods!


This weeks challenge over at the Card Crafter's Circle this week is Some Like It Hot! - Summer.
I do love winter, but the desire to grow things -for me needs some warmth! LOL
I have chosen this wonderful image by our sponsor Floppy Lattes called Garden Goods.  Just some of the basics needed to have some fun in the dirt! hehehe


For my card, I've used some misc papers and some corrugated cardboard to layer with this wonderful image.  Then I added some bright yellow Offray ribbon and a couple crocheted flowers ( I made them :) )  with a sparkly flower sticker in their centres.  I also inked a corner flourish from Inkadinkado as a finishing touch.
So what does hot weather make you think of?  We'd love to see, just pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle and join us!

Snow Family

Are you all ready for another frosty challenge? There's no business like snow business over at the Card Crafter's Circle this week!  We'd love to see your creations!
For my card I've used a sweet snow family image from our sponsor this week: you can find this image HERE!

I've poped it up over some paper from my stash and a border I made using my EK success border punch and some Kaiser Kraft ribbon.  The sentiment is from Studio g and attached with a small silver brad.  To finish it off I added a touch of sparkle with some tiny rhinestones.
Now it's your turn, do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle blog for some great inspiration and all the details!
Have a wonderful day!

Love Conquers All


Hello Everyone! My first post for this new year and first of all I want to say thank you for all of you who follow me and leave me delightful comments of encouragement! You are a blessing to me!

Today I've created a card to share at Word Art Wednesday.  I saw this wonderful image by Bugaboo Stamps and it went totally along the lines of what I have been meditating on today.  With the new year beginning, I've been thinking about the greatest gift God has given me -Salvation through Jesus Christ the Lord.  This wonderful song written by Leman and Mayer has been coming to mind and I cannot but help to sing.


  1. The love of God is greater far
    Than tongue or pen can ever tell;
    It goes beyond the highest star,
    And reaches to the lowest hell;
    The guilty pair, bowed down with care,
    God gave His Son to win;
    His erring child He reconciled,
    And pardoned from his sin.
    • Refrain:
      Oh, love of God, how rich and pure!
      How measureless and strong!
      It shall forevermore endure—
      The saints’ and angels’ song.
  2. When hoary time shall pass away,
    And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
    When men who here refuse to pray,
    On rocks and hills and mountains call,
    God’s love so sure, shall still endure,
    All measureless and strong;
    Redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
    The saints’ and angels’ song.
  3. Could we with ink the ocean fill,
    And were the skies of parchment made,
    Were every stalk on earth a quill,
    And every man a scribe by trade;
    To write the love of God above
    Would drain the ocean dry;
    Nor could the scroll contain the whole,
    Though stretched from sky to sky. 
  4. I found the lyrics to this wonderful song on Timeless Truths.  It wasn't in the hymnbook that I have so I went online.  
  5. How incredible the Love of God is for us,
  6.  "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved." -John 3:16-17 
  7. Love does conquer all!  Praise God!
