Happy Halloween...

I want to thank everyone who left such beautiful comments here on my blog and to my email concerning my scrapbook page for my Mom and Dad.  Your heartfelt words were touching and lifted my spirits so much!! I am so honored and humbled by your kindness and friendship!!

Today I have a fun card for you. I created this card for the Clean and Simple Challenge at SplitCoast Stampers where we're making cards based on an earlier card by me. This worked up pretty fast. I stamped my sentiment from Inkadinkado using Memento Tuxedo Black and Tangelo on a white panel. Next, I cut the panel with Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities Spider Web, added a bit of baker's twine, then mounted it to black cardstock with foam dots. I adhered that piece to a white card and I was done!! Nothing is easier than that!

Eternal Love...

As a member of the Spellbinders Paper Arts design team, one of our monthly projects is to create a scrapbook page. Most of you know me as a card maker, but I have fallen in love with scrapbooking! I decided that my first page would center around pictures of my parents when they first met and their lifetime of eternal love. It took me quite a bit of time to create this page due to the fact that both of them have joined God in heaven. Through bouts of tears, memories and heartache, missing them so, I hope I was able to due justice to their love. Today would have been my daddy's birthday, so I give this gift to both of them. LYTAM Daddy and Mom. I miss you so. (You can see this page in the Idea Gallery HERE)

Flower Girl Headband...

I love weddings, and I think the flower girls dressed in their finery are most precious. With that in mind, I created a pretty Flower Girl Headband using Spellbinders™ Shapeabilities Rose Creations.  This Headband is for sale in my Etsy store HERE!

I took a wire headband that I had purchased from Hobby Lobby, wrapped it in pretty ribbons, then added my roses that I had made with Melissa Frances crepe paper from the Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. When I created the roses and leaves, I used ivory and green crepe paper, then added some color with Copic markers and extra sparkle with crystal glitter. Small tulle bows accent the piece with satin ribbons cascading down.

Punches for sale and a card...

I added some punches to my Etsy Store! Check them out HERE!

Today's card uses one of Spellbinders™ M-Bossabilities™ called Enchanted (I used Side B). I rubbed an inkpad across the service, then colored the flowers with a Copic Marker. My sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy.

Belli Challenge with Quietfire Designs...

It's time for the Belli Challenge and our theme is "Christmas in July", so I chose a gorgeous calligraphy style stamp called "Hold on to the Spirit of Christmas" by Quietfire Designs for my sentiment. (You can see the tag I made using this same stamp HERE.) 

I paired it with last year's Spellbinders™ Layered Poinsettia die templates along with Labels Eleven and created this beautiful card! Add some Basic Grey paper, pretty lace, swirly pearls, glass glitter and silk ribbon from The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store and you have a stunning creation!
