Kisses & Smooch!

Hi Everyone...

Will I finally ordered from Mo's Digital Pencils, I have received a Gift Certificate from Dawn from My Stamping Thyme, she had was asking for blog ideas and she picked 2 of us that left comments... I was just thrilled becasue I stop by her blog for a visit with every new post and several times for just fresh ideas... she is VERY talented.....

Anyway she is always using images from Mo's Digital Pencile, and I had never used any digital images so this was the perfect time to try some out... Today I am post a few I got and used on this cut "V" day card!!

Tell me what you think...???

This image is called Kisses, she is just so full of it, isn't she??

and this gal on the inside is called Little Smooch, she to is full of it too!!

It's kind of a Before and After card....te! he!!

Let me know what you think, and check out both Dawns and Mo's sites you won't be disapointed.

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

 

Deep Sympathy

I don't know about you but Sympathy cards are the hardest for me....

It's for such a sad occasion and yet you want to bring them a smile too... it's just so hard to balance.

Last week a dear friend of mine lost someone very special to there family, they had to fly out of town and would be back later this week.  So I wanted to have something waiting for them when they got home. 

Here's what I did.....

This is the front... I popped up just the wing tips on the butterfly, and did the water color technique on the flowers.... you know when you color your stamp with pens and then spray mist on it and stamp a few times to get that look....I sprayed  then crumpled my seam binding with some Glimmer Mist and let it dry to get that crumbled look.

here's a close up......

and here's the inside....

I hope she smiles when she read it and remembers a happy time.

Here's what I used;

• Papers/ Creative Memories and SU
• Inks & Pens/ Close to my Heart- Desert Sand words and sponging, Vineyard Berry and Garden Green flowers
• Stamps/ SU-Nature Walk, My Favorite Things-Essential Sentiments, and Clearly Sentimental about Sympathy
• Punches/ MS-Woodland Branch
• Misc./ Glimmer Mist-Gold, Seam Binding by Hug Snug-Eggshell

Thanks for stopping by again!

Hope you Enjoyed!!

Thanks Mary!!!

This past week Mary from the Glitter Grammy sent me a supprise! 

She gifted me with this award... Oh My was I really Supprised too!!

I had not posted anything for almost a month and then the first time I do Mary gave me this lovely supprise, Wow! is all I can say!!

There are some rules with reciveing this award and sharing the love too.

Here are the rules:

The idea of the Leibster award is to bring attention to blogs with less than 200 followers. So, in the spirit of good fun I am passing this award on to five other bloggers. Please stop by and visit them.
1. Show your thanks to the blogger who gave you the award by linking back to them.

2. Reveal your five picks for the award and let them know.

3. Post the award on your blog.

4. Bask in the love from the most supportive people on the blogshare-other bloggers.

5. Finally and the best rule of all..........have fun and spread the love!


The blogs I've chosen are listed below. They inspire me in so many ways. Click on over to their sites and take a look!
 

Dell from DoodleDiva
Olena from Olenas Place
Fairy Thoughts
Sue H from Sue's Krafty Kards and other stuff!
Carol C from Carol C's Stuff

Picking 5 people was so hard to do there are sooooo many out there that I LOVE to visit, and then some of the very ones I picked had already recived the award.... but lots of fun too because I got to visit so many friends and check out there bolgs again since I was away for so long. 

I may not comment often but please remember I'm always looking and enjoy my visits so much!!!
Again Thanks Mary for picking me!!!!!!

The site Going Buggy is doing the challenge....

and here is my Card;
I know this pic dose not show up the white very good but it is white honest!

Here you can see how it opens and the inside is left blank for your notes.

Will wish me luck!!!!

• Close to my Heart stamps/Baroque Alphabet E-1006
