Howdy from Texas

Just like I promised, I received the Stately Flowers 1 set from Stamp TV that I won during their blog hop and boy, are the flowers gorgeous. They are designed by Melanie Munchinger and they are beautiful. Here is a card I made with the bluebonnets.

Another case

I have been looking at Theresa Momber's site, http://craftingtheweb.blogspot.com/. She makes beautiful scenes and she is an expert at shading. That is something I need to learn. Here is another stab at it. I have entered this in the weekly challenge with my friends at Word Art Wednesday and also at a new Christian blog that Karen from Word Art Wednesday told me about. Here is the address: twistoffaithcards.blogspot.com

Winner!!

I have been notified that I was one of the random winners on the CSS Alumni Blog Hop on Stamp TV. My prise is the Stately Flowers 1 by Melanie Munchinger. I can't wait to get it and try it out. Flowers coming soon!

Making cards is a blessing

It's true. Making cards is a blessing to me. I enjoy it very much. It is my little cozy corner of the world. I can relax and enjoy myself and see what turns out. I love it. Here are two cards I made this weekend.

Iris

Made this card for two challenges. One for Stamp TV Case the designer, but change things and make it your own. Theresa Momber was the selected designer and she has very lovely cards with scenery and lots of shading. Here is her website if you want to be wowed. http://craftingtheweb.blogspot.com/ Also made the card for a favorite blog of mine Word Art Wednesday. They are a wonderful bunch of Christians who host challenges every Wednesday. Used the Iris and caption form Gina K's Bold and Beautiful set.

Gatefold Card with a Twist

Watch a great video by Gina K on Stamp TV called Gatefold Card with a Twist. It is a fantastic video! I just had to try it. I used Papers and Punchouts from Hampton Arts Woodland Friends Foot Longs Project Pad.

Happy Fall Y'all

Just had to share one more card with you today. There isn't any stamping but it is cute just the same. After every holiday, Walmart reduces items connected with that holiday way down. I got a lot of Christmas and Thanksgiving and Valentine papers and stickers that way. This is just one of the Fall cards I made.

Fall Friend

Sean from Stamp TV posted a challenge to make a fall looking card for a friend using Gina K Stamps. I used the All Occasion Tags set designed by Tami Mayberry.

All about the boys

Stamp TV is having a challenge called All About the Boys. Here is my offering. Used Little Tees and All Occasion Tags Sets from Gina K.

Word Art Wednesday Love Challenge

The Word Art Wednesday Challenge was Love, because God loved us first, or to use an encouraging sentiment on your card. I used Sizzix Leaves embossing folder. I used Spellbinders Fancy Tags Three. The sentiment is from Stamping up's Thoughts and Prayers.

Sew Pretty Stamp TV challenge

I made this card for the Stamp TV Sew Pretty Challenge. I didn't have any sewing related stamps or paper, so I downloaded some clip art from the computer. Just like digital stamps. I did faux stitching as my sewing machine is acting up.

Thanks so much

This card was done in response to a Stamp TV Challenge, Free for all Friday, Thank you, thank you. thank you. I used a cling stamp from Tim Holtz Components Collection and my sentiment is from Gina K Designs All Ocassion Tags by Tami Mayberry. The ribbon is from Studio G.

Shabby Chic

Well, here it is. My first attempt at Shabby Chic. I have a lot to learn but at least I'm on my way. I did this card for the Mix It Up Monday challenge on Stamp TV, which was to do a shabby chic or vintage card. Used Flutter from Tim Holtz' Component Collection. Stamps on the background are from Cavelltini Paris stamp set.

Word Art Wednesday Challenge

Found an on line friend, Karen, who invited me to join Word Art Wednesday http://wordartwednesday.blogspot.com It is a Christian site with wonderful ladies. You need to check it out. The challenge was to use a scripture about prosperity and health. They even provide a free scripture for you.

Polka Dot Flower

Here is another flower I made from the pattern I copied from my birthday card. I just love Polk-dots, don't yo?
