For My Sweet Friend!

Happy Thursday!  WOW!  The week is almost over.   I thought I would pop in with a quick card.  I am playing along with a few SCS Challenges as well as ODBD Shining the Light Challenge.

For ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC162), we are to use white/cream and one other color.  I chose Royal Velvet.  It is a deep rich purple.  I combined this challenge with a few SCS Challenges.  This week's Sketch Challenge(SC445) is to choose a sketch from all the past sketches.  I chose sketch(SC428).
I combined the sketch with today's Way To Use it Challenge(WT436).    It is all about chevrons.  For the sketch, I chose to cut out the background shape and actually layer with the negative space.  Before I did that, though, I added my vintage cream chevrons and embossed the outside frame.  I am using ODBD  Be Joyful and Sisters single stamps.  I embossed the focal image and used Memento grape ink on the sentiment.  I did add a bow to the card topped with a prima flower.

 As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Wednesday!  I have a card to share today using some ODBD stamps.  I am playing along with this week's Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC159).  This week is a sketch.  I finally ordered me some paper pads.  First all year. I was so excited that I just had to dig in and create a card using this fun sketch.

I am using ODBD Quote Collection 3 and Time sets. I mixed some fun Spellbinder's dies and ink distressed the edges, added some machine stitching and a seam binding bow.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Two Roads Diverged! Shining the Light, Announcements, and MORE!

Happy Sunday!  I had a little time to spend in my crafty space today which is quite rare lately during the weekends.  My dd is home from university so we had a Twilight Marathon Weekend!  We literally watched all 5 movies back to back.  I must admit there were a few snooze moments on my part.   I think the kids have a couple of dozing pictures of me.   Anyway, after what seems like a long time sitting and watching, I was ready to get crafty.   

I made a card using ODBD Quote Collection 1 stamp set.
I kept my card some what simple. I am using the sketch from this week's Shining the Light Challenge145. 

For my card I am using some MME designer papers.  I stitched the panels and added a die cut frame and the sentiment to the center.  I finished with seam binding bow and resin flower. 

A few announcements!

ODBD Shining the Light Challenge, DP by ME, and MORE!

Happy Thursday!  I finally got a chance to play in my craft room this afternoon.  I have been busy this week doing some fall cleaning.  My card today is for this week's ODBD Shining the Light Challenge(ODBDSLC123).  We are to stamp our background with either a background stamp or use one stamp repeatedly.  I chose to do both for my background design.

I am using ODBD newly released Scripture Series 3 stamp set along with God's Love, God's Hands, and Randi's Song.   


I combined some kraft, ivory, and wisteria card stocks.  I stamped using a fine linen ink the grunge butterfly image from God's Love all over the back.  This shade gave a more tonal look on the kraft and is hard to capture on camera.  I also stamped the wisteria with some lavender Memento ink, but ended up covering up most of that panel with an ivory panel stamped in the same linen ink.  This panel shows a little better, but the other elements on the card sort of cover it up, too.  LOL!  Trust me when I say all panels were stamped.  The wisteria fishtail was stamped with the script stamp from Randi's song with lavender ink.  Again, since it is so tonal hard to capture on camera, but all looks great in real life. 

I am using Deconstructed Sketch No. 69. I layered the focal image with the God's Hand image stamped in  linen onto ivory.  I then stamped the scripture over with Memento black.  I ink distressed all the panels, added some stitching, a coffee dyed seam binding bow, button, and two corsage pins to finish the card.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Sun & Shield, C4C, and ODBDSLC!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  It is time for another challenge with the crazies at Crazy 4 Challenges(C4C149).   Silke is the hostess for August.     This week she is challenging us to an all white card.  Only white except for the focal image.  That you can color or use a colorful ink.  

For my card I am using ODBD Scripture Collection 6.  I combined the scripture with some fun pearl bead work, white 3/8" grograin ribbon, clear crystal pins, and embossing folder.  The scripture was stamped with Memento Grape Jelly ink.  With all of the white it feels CAS to me.  Not sure since there are layers, though.

I am also playing along with ODBD Shining the Light Challenge ODBDSLC118.  this week.  We are to use a scripture on our cards.
