Amazing Grace...Our Daily Bread designs

Our Daily Bread has released 2 Amazing Grace single stamps this month that are just perfect! One is the hymn and this is the prayer. I wante some very serious and ornate looking dp for this so I dug into my drawers of paper to find these . I used a couple of the EK coordinating punches and some black primas. tfl

A Card for the death of a dog... :(

A friend asked me to make a card for someone who had lost their dog who was so very special to them for so many years. He also asked if I could somehow put the dog's name on the card. Here is what I came up with. The stamped verse was given to me so I dont know where this stamp is from but I would LOVE to own it! I chose this cool dp pad I bought at JoAnns a while ago called the Green Stack and I colored with Copics. The flowers are Primas and the dog's name is computer generated. I drew a little heart on it..So very sad..I have lost too many dogs and it is so very hard...thanks for looking and have a great weekend! :)

ODBD DT VERSE...

Here is another card I made using the ODBD Anniversary set. Okay...Love the verses in this set ALOT.. :) DP is memory box, sugardrop and can be found at the ODBD store!

I did a little sewing and used my martha punches. TFL! Happy Thursday.....

"Time Flies" by Leanne Ellis

Here is a card made with an image by artist Leanne Ellis. I think her images are so cool! They can be found at SugarNellie.com . I used dp Cosmo Cricket and Crate Paper. She is colored with Copics ofcourse! :) Check out these neat little "Adage tickets" from Tim Holtz..love em! TFL!

I got to celebrate on the 4th having my oldest come home for a visit with his girlfriend..(hopefully) future wife!! He will be 30 in Oct and lives near Charlotte NC so I dont get to see him as often as I would like! My dd's were both there with my sister's kids so we got a few cute pics of the cousins too! All in all it was a great time...good food ..good drink! :) My sister needed a couple sympathy cards so the night before I was hurrying to get 2 done. When I need quick sympathy cards (always) I reach for one of my ODBD sets. You cant go wrong !! These 2 were made with "I Am the Way" and "Lift Up Our Hands". I chose the dp pad from DCWV La Creme matstack. Easy cuz all the papers were easy to coordinate! I hope you all enjoyed your long weekend!! :) TFL!

Copic Creations..New Challenge..Brunette hair

Copic Creations is ready with a BRAND NEW challenge for you to try! Hey..I loved this one cuz it's EASY PEASY...Brunette hair! Love it! Scor-Pal is sponsoring this challenge and you gotta check out the blog to see all the FABULOUS creations this month for this challenge!! Seriously...these girls TOTALLY knocked me out with their designs and I just cant say enough about their talent!! I colored Tilda's hair with E33, E35 and E 47. The cool thing is I got this dp at a flea market when I was visiting my sister in New Mexico! It cost me .50 cents! Love it! I dotted or "snowed" Tilda with a Sharpie poster-paint pen that Suzanne Dean recommends on her blog and sewed a border of snowflakes around the card. The flowers are primas and I used my ms punch. We got a little glitter goin on over the snow (rip) hills and I just cut Tilda out and put her on dimensionals. TFL!! :)
