New Creature

Lately I have been spending more time than usual reading the life-changing Word and have been reminded of so many scriptural truths that I had begun to take for granted. This card reminds me of one of those truths. All products are Close To My Heart except the butterfly and sentiment which are Sweet-n-Sassy stamps.

Thanks for stopping by...I always appreciate the visits and comments.

Penny's Challenge

Here I go again...another sketch challenge! This time it's Penny's Challenge #6 . Now I'm going to get my disciplined self ( self discipline is a trait I'm always working on, LOL) upstairs to read for a while with my sweetie before calling it a night. PS I'm still using Alyssa's camera...these CTMH colors are so much more vibant than they appear!
Hugs,

CPS 132 and Color Dare Challenge 33

I discovered Lori's blog today (take a peek...it's great!) and subsequently the Color Dare - she's on the design team. I combined that challenge with CPS 132 to create this card, using Close To My Heart colors...garden green, hydrangea, amysthyst and colonial white.

Thanks for stopping by...I appreciate all the kind comments.

365/Day 188

It's been a fun Friday so far...lotsa work done early on so I could take a break and meet a friend at Starbucks. Friday also means that Michelle has a 4 hour theater rehearsal so Scott and I will drop her off and enjoy a picnic in the park and some date time. Then tomorrow, after Matthew's soccer game, DH and I are heading to the Springs for a two day get-away...I am soooo looking forward to the time. Anyway, I did managed to get in Day 188 with the 365 Day challenge. As I said previously, I'll do about 4 cards with a particular paperpack before moving on, so this is another Silhouette card - all products are Close To My Heart.
Hope you have a fabulous 3 day weekend!

My first "365" challenge; Penny's challenge

Not too long ago, I discovered the 365 cards challenge . I have taken a peek a few times, but today was the first day I jumped in, with their ad inspired card. I like the idea of a different challenge every day! Most products are Close To My Heart except the sentiment on the second card, the pearls, and the flower center. At Sarah's suggestion, I'm also including this in Penny's Challenge which was to use pearls.

I received another FUN package from Samantha today and my daughters and I have been enjoying all of the CTMH products she gifted us with (as she has become a Stampin Up demonstrator.) I'm sure she'll have lots of great stuff on her blog soon, so be sure to check it out.
Thanks for taking a peek.
