I Am Grateful For You

 

Hello today from NC. We have another beautiful day, sunny and warm which I am thankful for.
I'm here posting a card to link over at the current CAS Colours and Sketches. I'm attempting to use  some of the sentiments from MFT's Bitty Thanks and Gratitude to be able to send cards to Scrapbook.com to use for their Cards for Kindness drive. 

I've decided to use a product list again to shorten the description of the products used. To me, it just seemed like a more reasonable way to tell you of the products I used on mycard design.

PRODUCTS USED:

SU Bloom with Hope(ret.), MFT Bitty Thanks & Gratitude

Inks: SU Mossy Meadow, Bumblebee, Versafine black

Dies: MFT A2 Rectangle Stax 1, MFT Stiched Sentiment Strips

Paper: SU Merry Merlot, Neenah Solar White #110

That is all for today. I hope you have a great Sunday!

Blessings,

Bernadette

With Sympathy

I had some time to finish up a card that I cut on Saturday with some of my stamping friends. I was glad I held off until yesterday to put it together and add a sentiment.  I had a friend of mine from Arizona loose her husband several days ago and I needed a Sympathy card. The new stamp set by SU, Wishing You Well fit what I needed for the card.

PRODUCTS USED:
SU Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Merry Merlot, Mossy Meadow
Ink: SU Mossy Meadow
Stamp: SU Bloom With Hope (RET)
Pearl accent
Wink of Stella on Bow

That's it for today. I'm off to do a little more preparation for the upcoming storm. Thankfully it has turned into a CAT 2 instead of 4. Although we are about 2 hours West of Wilmington were the most dangerous impact will be, we will still get quite a bit of rain and wind. I feel we are as ready as we can be and are trusting the Lord to keep us and our families safe.

Have a great day and go do something you LOVE!

Live Simply,

Bernadette

With Sympathy

Today I needed to make a sympathy card for a family member. I'm sure like most of us, they are difficult to create. I saw over at Just Add Ink  challenge blog that the challenge was with a twist.  By using the SU Waterfront stamp set hopefully it fills the challenge requirement.

I layered SU's Very Vanilla, Soft Sky, Mossy Meadow that was embossed and Pear Pizzazz stamping with similar colors for the scene. The sentiment is from a retired Hostess set, Bloom with Hope and stamped with Soft Suede. I added SU Linen Thread and some Cooper Pearls to finish it off.

Sorry for this being a little washed out. I took it just about dusk this evening.

Have a wonderful , restful evening. Enjoy your Tuesday and go do something you LOVE!

Live Simply, Bernadette
