Piecing it Together

Make It Monday #117:Paper Piecing

by Melissa is a beautiful way to create a sympathy card.

When my father-in-law died three years ago...it was so disorienting and painful.

However, God was merciful and showed bits of beauty despite the excruciating absence of our loved one here on earth.

The comfort I can express to another going through this...is that we are sending prayers~

The beauty, is that the loved one will never be forgotten~the outline is still there in memories, hearts and minds.

~LIM Week 60 Recipe~

I missed the past week of Less is More - it slipped past quickly.

I'm jumping in this week!

Less Is More Week 60:Recipe

I used the following three challenges from their vault:

Week 56:Don't scrap it

Week 33:Anything goes (I figured I would use this grace card!) ;)

Week 7:Masculine (I believe it is bare enough for a guy-no frills)

*Verve Beautiful You,Memento Ink Tuxedo black,Authentique Renown DP,Basic Grey Curio DP,Oak from Summer's End/Fancy Pants,Crop-A-Dile Corner Chomper,deckle scissors,Georgia Pacific white cardstock*

Paper Scraps Challenge in the Moxie Fab World

All the pieces on this card are scraps that were laying around my desk.  

I rounded the corners of the orange piece and used deckle scissors for the oak DP.

 I wrapped the thin strips around the larger piece as if they were ribbon.

It has a bit of lift and dimension.

I then stamped this wonderful sentiment that

 impacted me when I was a preteen.

There have been so many forks in the road since then!

Those less popular HAVE made all the difference.

 

I hope you have an awesome week.

~No Winter Lasts Forever~

Apricot and turquoise-a lovely combination!

*Verve Beautiful You,Oak from Summer's End/Fancy Pants,Bazzill kraft cardstock,Spellbinders scalloped circles,Versamark ink,Recollections sapphire pearl embossing powder*

I got my inspiration from

Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger:A is for Apricot

I recycled my tissue from my recent Verve order and cut out layers of Spellbinders scalloped circles. I stitched down the "flower".


There's a bit of sparkle in it, just like the plate!



I love the sentiment.


A perfect centerpiece for

CAS-ual Friday CFC 43

I'm "going green" by recycling the wrapping from my stamps.

Thanks for stopping by.


Have a blessed week!

Inspired By #13 

has an awesome photo to glean from!

It made me think of denim.

I LOVE  wearing jeans-

especially comfy ones that fit!

Authentique Genuine DP pack is all denim and fun.

Perfect for a masculine card like this.

I just faux stitched the "pocket" with a Memento marker.

I used

Card Patterns Sketch #155

to tie it all together.

Thank you for stopping by today, I appreciate it. ;)
