Birthday Card/ Delight yourself in the Lord

I'm posting another birthday card today, because who doesn't need birthday cards? It seems if I don't continue making them I don't have any when I need one. This card today will be linked to VivaLa Verve February Sketch challenge and Seize the Birthday. I've had these papers picked out for almost a week and hadn't used them. I was waiting for the right layout.Then when I saw the Verve challenge, I knew that was the project to use them on.

Card inside

The papers are all retired, I believe. I used a SU 2 1/2 inch punch, a retired embossing folder,and scallop die. The sentiment on the circle on the front is from the Verve stamp set, Scripture Medley 1. An SU set, Bring on the Cake were used to complete the inside. I enjoy using scripture stamps on cards, especially for family and friends. I feel the Word of God is always appropriate and in due season.

That's it again for today. Have a wonderful weekend and as always, go do something you love!

Well here it is August 20th. and now its been another 2 months since I posted. Honestly, I lost my my mojo, big time. I have had my CRAFTY space organized for about a little over two weeks, but just actually crafted something last Wednesday and Thursday! It was my GD Esther's 9th. Birthday and I needed a card!

Although I have lots of stamps, I did not have a Mermaid stamp. No problem. I own a Cricut Explore Air.  I cut the 4 darling little mermaids from Life is a Beach cartridge. Three were for bookmarks and one for decorating the outside of the envelope. The cartridge even included a Mermaid card to coordinate with the bookmarks. I just backed the cut out portion with some retired SU paper.(I believe it was from Cherry on Top paper stack)

These were nothing fancy or difficult but it put a big SMILE on Esther's face = Mission accomplished.  Now hopefully this will jump start my MOJO.

**The papers are from Stampin'Up! and Bazzil. The inside sentiment is SU's Bring on the Cake stamped with Bermuda Bay ink.


That's about it for tonight. Monday I plan to show pictures of my crafting space here in my new home. Until then, I hope you have wonderful weekend and can do something CRAFTY!
