Heartfelt Creations Alumni Team Blog Hop!

Hello!  It's time for another Heartfelt Creations Alumni Team Blog Hop!   I know you'll enjoy each and every blog you visit!  Happy inspiration by some very talented ladies! 

We will be giving away the Stamp Set HCPC 3306 Posy Patch Garden Delights Pre Cut Set. The winner will be randomly selected from comments received on all our blogs for the hop through midnight Thursday the 29th!  The winner will be announced on Saturday October 1st on our blogs...wooo hoooo!

I'm up first, but you may have come here from Linda's blogsite.  No problem!  Let's get to it!  Enjoy!

For my card, I used several commercially made embellishments

because I needed to make this card in a hurry. 

The lace, ribbon, flowers, pearls and dies made my job much easier.  I don't

normally take this "simple and quick" approach to making my cards,

but I think the card looks like it took a lot of work to make. 

I thought the light blues helped make the card soothing.

The sentiments on this card are from the Heartfelt Creations HCPC3377 Sympathy Sentiment PreCut Set.  They are just wonderful, caring and simple. 

Other products I used to make this card are:  blue striped cardstock from Stampin' Up, white cardstock, Stampin' Up Bliss Blue classic inkpad, Momento's Paris Dusk, Zva pearls, flowers from Prima, fern punch, ribbon and lace from stash, and Parisian Accents border die.

Next up on the blog hop is the oh-so-talented Debbie!  But before you go to her blog, please just take a second or two to leave me a note on what you think of my card.  I appreciate all comments left!  Thank you!

Clare - this is where you are now!

Oh, Baby Girl!

Hello, out there in blogland!  I hope everyone is doing well, and happy! 

I have had the misfortune of having my shoulder operated on three times in the last year and a half, and physical therapy was a big part of the recovery process.  My physical therapist, Casey, was so supportive and a big influence on my healing and recovery!  His wife, Kim, is pregnant (if they haven't had the baby girl yet as of this writing) and due!  I made a set of baby shoes for them out of cardstock, a display box, and a card of congratulations.  I'd like to share them with you!

I'd love to know what you think!  Please leave a comment below, and have a great weekend!

All Things Through Christ

Hello, blog friends!  The weather has been so pretty here the last few days, since the remnants of the last hurricane brought us some much-needed rain.  I have spent some time in the garden taking photos of flowers, God's creations, as well as a little time in my craft room.  I wanted to share some of the beautiful flowers in my yard, and a card I made over the weekend.



I wish my camera would pick up colors a little better!  The red shade here on this card is actually burgundy.  The flowers in the paper are burgundy also, but look totally different than the ribbon!  I was playing with some new Spellbinders dies I got in the mail, and boy, what fun!!!  I love the way they layer!  The sentiment is from Verve, and the framed stamp is from GinaK.  The patterned paper is from my stash, and all solid paper is from Stampin' Up.  Ink is Stampin' Up Baroque Burgundy and Versafine Onyx. 

Card size is 6" x 6".



Thank you for visiting!  I appreciate you!

One of my design team friends uses the My Memories Suite, and here's what she says about it- "I love their software, it's very easy to use and create with.  I have a few posts on my blog right now using their software."  Lisa Somerville

I hope you like my pages above, and will enter the contest!  If you don't win, I hope you'll purchase the suite, because it will make your life so much more "sweet", and easier to use than paper, scissors, cutters, stamps, markers, ink, pens, chalk and glue!  Listen to me saying that, and I am an avid stamper!  hehe  Enjoy, and I wish each of you good luck!

Monochromatic Blues Challenge

Hi, everyone out there in blog land!  I am entering a contest for cards or projects all in blues!  I was playing around with ribbon, hot glue gun and cardstock circles.  I used some ribbed blue ribbon, which created a beautiful rose!  I need to get this posted by the deadline, so I'll include instructions later.  Thanks for visiting!
