"Thank You"

Happy last Monday of July.

Where has this gorgeous summer month gone?

It has been a busy time of year but we are

enjoying being out in nature.

This time going out camping we will have our grandson, son, his girlfriend

and our daughter. We are hoping our oldest one

will make it out for a day or two.

Today, I am sharing a card that was made

using a stamp from the stamp set

Many More

by

The Project Bin

First, was to decide on my sentiment

which honestly was hard because

their are so many good ones from The Project Bin

Second, I decided on my pattern paper, which is from

Little Darling Papers. I just adore the patterns

and color combinations. It is one of my favorites.

Browns, pinks, green and white and then a card sketch by Liz Chidester.

The dies were easy as I wanted ovals

and I really like my double stitched ones from Gina Marie Designs.

Both the white and brown ovals are double stitched

and I added the pearls between the stitches on the brown.

Stampin' Up marker was used to color the cute image (certainly celery, pink pirouette) 

A scallop punch from Stampin' Up was used for create a border

on the bottom triangle.

The fish tale banners were hand cut.

The last thing I decided to do on this card was paper pierce around

the pink card stock.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Sleep, Rest, Recover

Happy Monday!

We had a great week/weekend, camping with family, facetiming

with other family members was also a huge treat.

It is always wonderful to get back to nature 

and enjoy the beautiful peacefulness, even with storms

passing by, to just sit and be, too feel grounded.

While walking by the water, I was thinking

about what stamp set should be highlighted today for The Project Bin.

All that kept coming to mind was the stamp that said

"Sleep, Rest and Recover"

It is from our brand new set

Many More

This sentiment is a great one to share for so many other illnesses

or just a reminder to put yourself first.

The card above was made using First Edition 6x6 pattern paper

Whisper White and Early Espresso paper

Brown memento ink and pearls.

I would love to enter my card into the following challenges.

It's Always Summer Somewhere

Hello! Welcome to my blog.

Today, I have a brand new card for you highlighting

one of The Project Bins stamp sets.

We are giving a shout out too

Word Art Wednesday Challenges

as The Project Bin

is a sponsor for this next challenge.

It runs for two weeks and you can

use one of a free word art scripture

on your project but is not required.

I tried a new card called

Split panel card. 

The stamp set I used is

Summer Fun

It was so much fun but I think to make

it more stable I will do a wider up and down panel.

I adore how the flip flops turned out with the pattern paper.

The flip flops are stamped and fussy cut out.

I love the birds at this time of year, so broke out

this die to add to my summer card.

Just love this sentiment, it is so true

you can always find warm weather somewhere.

We would love it if you would

join in at Word Art Wednesday

with your inspiration and for a chance to win

from The Project Bin

Thank you so much for joining me today

Have a blessed day!

My Favorite Place is....

Good, good morning! Welcome to my blog.

Today, is my day to share my card design with you

using The Project Bin stamp set.

The stamp set I am highlighting today is

In My Heart

I used the stamp 

"My favorite place is inside your hug"

and "xoxo"

Both dies were also used it is a fabulous set.

The browns, vanilla and white colors for the paper and the pattern paper

jumped out at me as they were left over on my desk

from several other projects.

My layout was taken from this card sketch I found on Pinterest

from Dawn Stamping Thoughts

Welcome, Baby

Happy Monday morning!

It was an amazing weekend

spent with family at a family reunion on my dad's side.

It was so awesome to see so many cute babies, cousins,

aunts and uncles. The location was somewhere

that I have not been too for many years, so walking down

memory lane was a lot of fun too.

The stamp set, I am sharing with you today

is from The Project Bin

called Many More (it is brand new)

Denise has created another phenomenal set.

It has baby, get well, thank you, Happy birthday...etc.

So after seeing so many little ones on the weekend

I just knew that the stamp to be used was the rocking horse.

It was colored with Prisma pencils

The back ground paper, was made using a Stampin Up

stencil with pink pirouette, certainly celery and bashful blue inks.

Break out the glitter enamel dots and woola

a card was born.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Addicted to CAS- Challenge #140 - Code word: Baby

My image above was colored using copic markers. It has been a while

since they have been pulled out and boy have I missed them.

I added some texture by turning my embossing folder 

around, completely an accident but it seems to have worked.

A sentiment, a few butterflies with pearls and the card

was complete.
