I Just Wanted to Say / FMS#178/ctd334

Just another quick post for today. One busy day with doctors and labs. Glad those are over!

I saw the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches and the color combo from Color Throwdown and had a card immediately in mind. That doesn't happen to often, but I'm glad it did. 
 
 
 
 
This card will be sent to my 7 yr. old granddaughter, Esther. I have some little surprises to send along to her and thought a card was in order to send along with it.

So Happy for You /Sweet Sunday #260



I've been wanting to use 2 of my FREE Sale-a-bration products, You Brighten My Day and Best Year Ever DSP for several weeks, but just couldn't seem to find my mojo. Well, that changed on Sunday! When I saw Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch challenge everything just came together.


I recently ordered the What's Up punch that coordinates with the You Brighten My Day little house. So cute! I hadn't created any new home cards recently and thought this stamp / punch would be perfect fit.

I'm Here for You / Paper Players #236 /Case this Sketch#114

Happy Monday! I pray you all had a wonderful weekend and were able to do something crafty. 

I  had a chance to work in my studio and put together a card using a technique that I haven't used in several years, Masking Faux Layers.  I learned this from Linda over at Stamping School when I first became a demonstrator. It is so simple and adds such a nice element to your projects.




The stamp set I used, Blooming with Kindness, is still one of my favorites.  I love the big flower and the sentiments.  I really should use it more often.

I decided to link it to The Paper Players and CASe this Sketch today. I believe it fulfills both challenges.




Some things you may want to know:

SU Blooming with Kindness
SU Lost Lagoon, Crumcake, Very Vanilla card stock
Lost Lagoon,Crumbcake, Memento Black
Basic Pearls
SU Stampin' Dimensionals

Make it a great Monday and,as always, do something CRAFTY!

Hugs,
