Crissy Armstrong's Design Team Call

Here's another wonderful image from Crissy Armstrong! I had hoped to get a couple more cards posted for her design team call, but life caught up with me. I hope Crissy can see my love of her images... even if I didn't get a chance to enter as many cards as I wanted.

This is a simple but very cute one I finished a few days ago. I colored it with my Copics, put it on some cute design papers from my stash, a quick sentiment from Hampton Arts and added some stitching, lace and buttons to balance it all out. It will be in the mail on Monday, headed to my wonderful friend in California who is going through some rough times in life. I hope it brings a smile to her face and a warm feeling that she is loved and treasured!

I will be entering this in the following challenges:

Crissy Armstrongs - Design Team Call

Sentimental Sunday - #66 - In the Garden

Ribbon Carousel - #13 - A Stitch in Time

Paper Play Challenge - #0 - In the Garden

Thanks for making the stop here... God bless!

Birthday card for hubby

It's probably a little risky posting Tom's birthday card here before I actually give it to him on Tuesday, but I don't think he checks my blog out very often... So, I'm hoping I'm not blowing it - LOL. When I bought this Mo Manning stamp I knew it would soon become one of my "go to" images... It has such a great feel to it and is fairly versatile. I feel so lucky to have this wonderful man to grow old with. This month we will have been married for 22 years, and each and every day I feel blessed and amazed to have him in my life. I hope he realizes how much I love him.

I kept the card fairly simple as I normally end up doing with my "man" cards. I liked the sketch at Create 4 Fun, so it became my starting point. Then I basically just let the stamp and coloring speak for themselves... I added the typed sentiment to complete it.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Sentimental Sundays - For the Men in your life + sentiment

Deep Ocean Challenge - #3 - Cards

Create4Fun Challenge - July - Sketch

Pile it On - #29 - Life is a Picnic

Enjoy your week!

Card for hubby

This card may not be the traditional Father's Day card, but it seemed to be fitting to give to my sweet hubby! The sentiment is soooo true... He's always there for me, rain or shine! And he's such a great dad - always taking care of us and putting his family first! I love him so.

I put a Tim Holtz stamp together with a Unity sentiment - they worked well together and although I adore the stamp that came with the Unity sentiment, it was a little too girly for this card. I think this has just the right amount of "masculinity" to it!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

ColourQ #89 -

Sentimental Sundays - challenge #59 - Father's Day or masculine

PaperTake Weekly - Dad's and lads

Thanks for stopping in!
