Atlantic Hearts Sketch 240: You were made for amazing things!

I took a few liberties with the sketch, but am happy with how the card turned out.  In real life, the colors of Verve's Kindness Matters florals are a much closer match to the background paper.  The printed papers are from a Bo Bunny collection called Juliet.  I was blessed to find
them at Tuesday Morning.  The flowers are backed with a cut from Reverse Confetti's Tall Tag Trio, and the stitched oval is by Littler Inker Designs.

Thanks so much for taking a look,
Christine

He will be our peace

Verve's Scripture Medley 5 arrived in my mailbox this afternoon, and I couldn't wait to get it inked up!  The papers are from a collection called Cedar Lane. The Tattered Florals die cuts and leaves were in the bowl of bits and pieces that stays on my desk, so the card came together quickly.

Thanks for taking a look,

Autumn Blessings: Photo Folio Cover

This is a little incidental project---a decorative page to slip into a plastic folio of photos I am mailing to someone unable to attend our Thanksgiving festivities.  I love "real" photos and had some printed for snail mailing instead of just sending digital files.  There's something nice about holding a photo.  But...if you give a crafter a stack of photos, she has to do a little decorating.....

Thanks for stopping by,
Christine

Thankful Tag

After whipping up a few Thanksgiving treats, I decided the packaging needed to be spruced up with tags.  The base for this tag is a Reverse Confetti die, and the images and sentiments come from these Verve sets:  Falling Leaves and On Occasion.  All the papers are scraps.  :)

Thanks for visiting,
Christine

Merry Christmas Trees

The inspiration photo shared at Inspired by All the Little Things is truly gorgeous!  I could never create this in the kitchen, but it was lots of fun to make a card with a sweet plaid and coordinating pastel solids from the Pixel Scrapper.  The stitched tree die is from L'il Inker Designs, and I can't seem to keep it off my crafting desk lately.

To make "the tiny forest" fit the card it was cut at 4.5 x 6 inches, but I do have envelopes that will fit, so all is well.  I am sure this clean sketch from Sunday Stamps will be used again.

Thanks so much for visiting,
Christine
