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.

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!

Construction Time!

Hi Everyone!  Today I have some cards to share with you that I was inspired to create by the Anything Goes challenge at Card Crafter's Circle this week!  Our wonderful sponsor is KPM Doodles and this set is called  Construction Zone and can be found HERE!  

So Here are my cards, I couldn't just make one so here's a bunch! hehehe

For all for all of my cards, I have used the pre-coloured images from the Construction Zone set and popped them up over some torn layers of cardstock and I've used a couple of sentiment stamps from my collection and a circular stamp.  (The Happy Birthday stamp is also supposed to look like this......like the truck is rumbling by.)  Oh and the last card I used a swiss dots embossing folder.  I will no doubt use these for my boys who love big truck and play in the dirt! LOL  

Now it's your turn......what has inspired you this week? It's anything goes at Card Crafter's Circle......so we'd love to see what you create!  

Do pop over to the Card Crafter's Circle to see the wonderful inspiration from my teamies!

Have a wonderful day!

I Hope In Thy Word

Hello! Thanks for popping by to see me today!
Life has been kinda pressing lately.  Lots of good things, and time is very full!  Whenever I feel like I'm getting overwhelmed, I know where to run to!  I find that spending time with the Lord Jesus in His Word settles everything out and puts everything in it's place.  I have had this scripture passage word art created by Karen from Papercraft Memories sitting on my craft table for a bit.  Last night I finally put it together into a card.  I have used a beautiful bunch of yellow roses and daisies digital art from Abby at Little Birdie Blessings a while back.  With this, I have also used a soft yellow script by MelStampz and some some lovely lace and ribbon.
So, if you're finding like life is getting a bit out of control, turn to the one who really is in control and let him have the reigns.  Take time to smell the delightful roses that God has given us!

I'm sharing this over at Word Art Wednesday this week.  Do pop over to a wonderful place of inspiration and encouragement!

Birthday Birdie!

Hi! I have a card I'd like to share with you today.  This sweetheart sharing a cupcake with the birdie is an image by Designed 2 Delight as part of the freebie challenge going on HERE! It's called Tweet Birthday Gift and can be found HERE!  If you play along, then the next months image is free, and so on! Who wouldn't want a chance to have some of Faith's incredible images?  So do pop over an play along!
For my card I've coloured it up with my prismas and a touch of marker for some small details.  Then I rounded and inked the edges blue (hard to see in the pic).  I layered up some fun papers by K & Company and tied on a ribbon by Offray with small rhinestones in the bottom panel.  The sentiment is from Lil' Inkers and the cupcake is 'iced' and glittered.
I hope you're all having a great week! Thanks for dropping by!
