~The Little Things~

I snagged a cute fruity notepad for 50 cents.

This resulted in a quick CAS card using a cardbase remnant.

Fun size, right?

~I Will Sing~

I created a card for ODBDSLC115:Tearing or Distressing.

 It's for my friend who has a beautiful voice~

you'll always hear her singing!

I praise God that He has given her a blessed voice to serve Him.

My voice isn't as blessed, LOL, but that's ok...that's why I make cards! ;)

I embossed the verse and the bird (on the background panel) with yellow.




I sponged a bit around the verse to make it visible.

I am also linking up to DYSU #80:Cool Colors.

~Happy For You~

Some are so blessed with babies.

I have friends that God has chosen to bless and bless and bless...

well, you get the picture. ;)

Their house is like a party in itself~full of fun and laughter.

I am at the last hour here for Sweet 'n Sassy's July Release Party's Inspiration theme

hosted by Bridget.

I made a CAS card with a sentiment from Sweet 'n Sassy's Together Silhouettes.

My oldie but goodie overalls punch was helpful in representing the floating lanterns from the photo~they stuck in my head!

CAS-ual Fridays CFC 61 saved the day by inspiring me to use my

Vellum Tape Strips from Little Yellow Bicycle.

Thank you for stopping by~always a pleasure to see bloggy friends!

~The Play Date Cafe and Butterflies~

Sweet 'n Sassy's July Release Party has a ton of challenges to participate in.

The theme challenge is butterflies, hosted by Monika.

I just received my stamps from Sweet 'n Sassy...perfect timing!

I Versamark~stamped the butterflies and partially embossed them with black powder for a faded look.

The inspirational colors are from The Play Date Cafe #140 challenge.

The Heidi Swapp and BoBunny papers almost touch the colors.

I stamped the Sweet 'n Sassy sentiment in the Heidi Swapp Color Label and used Heidi Swapp's memory file stamp sentiments here and there.

I sewed around the butterfly panel to save my adhesive~ ;)

when I leave my sewing machine handy, I'm more likely to use it!

~U N ME~

I love this week's color at Less Is More Week 75

GOLD!

I found these scrap metal letters that I've had forever.

 

I stamped with Papertrey Ink's Year of the Flowers:Roses' leaf on texture for

Make It Monday #74:Stamping on Texture.

The roses are beautiful in that set...but the leaf proves it's worth too!

 

 I am entering this card in Stamp It:Cards Love Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Versamark ink, gold embossing powder, and my crimper were my GO TO tools for this CAS card.

 

Hope you are having a terrific day and are motivated to create something beautiful~
