Blessed is she who believed....

This card was made to encourage a friend.  The sweetly lettered scripture is from Verve's Scripture Medley 4 and is accented by Reverse Confetti's cross die.  The simplicity of the card was intended to emphasize the scripture.
Thanks for looking,

Mother's Day Wishes

We started our Easter celebration early this morning and sent our son back to college before the
traffic and weather got too bad, so I was ready for a little stamping time.  It's fun to "shop" for inspiration photos and sketches, and I found a great pair.

To achieve the edge detail in the Freshly Made Sketch, I used the Little Inker Stitched Diagonal Die.  A boldly striped paper  from  Bo Bunny  and some pink blossoms stamped and cut with Verve's Joyful Blooms hint at the graphic photo with its soft pinkish reflections.  The glittery leaves were cut from a Verve die and give a nod to the shimmering rain in the photo.

Happy stamping,
Christine

Be Still and Know I am God

The layers in the Mojo sketch are subtle with patterns in similar tones, giving a quiet look to this card in celebration of a young lady's confirmation.

The stamp is from Verve's Scripture Medley 1 and is framed with a scalloped square die from My Favorite Things.  The MFT Stitched Flower was in the left-over bin on my desk.

Guest Design Post for 4 Crafty Chicks----Welcome to the World, Little One!

What fun it is to play along at 4 Crafty Chicks!  I am honored to have the opportunity to guest design there for the month of April, and am enjoying the challenges.

Today's challenge is titled "Babies of All Kinds" and is hosted by the very talented Nance.   The arrival of a new baby is such a joyous occasion and is one that calls for a special card.  Hope you can stop by and join the fun at 4 Crafty Chicks.

Mojo Monday: Springtime Thanks

 Between the wonderful Mojo sketch and the inspiring photo board at Simon Says Stamp, a wonderful plan was in place.  When hubs said he needed a thank-you card, I was only too happy to oblige.  (There might have been one or three in my stash, but it's so much fun to create new ones!)

The other card ingredients include a Stitched and Scalloped Square die from My Favorite Things as well as their Stitched Flower dies.  The thanks word die is from Verve's Autumn Thanks.
