Faith Can Move Mountains

Oh my goodness - February and March are the busiest months in the park - we are gearing up for the annual Golf Tournament, and I am in the middle of my match play series.  We are having a blast.  Ron's brother and his wife are coming for a few days as well, so we are really looking forward to showing them around!

This week's challenge - on The Challenge - has a great colour theme...still Valentine-y and I'm not quite ready to let that go!

…and...I am absolutely in love with Reverse Confetti's newest release, so I am getting inky with it….

The Lord's Strength is a beautiful faith based set that is perfect for Bible journalling or card making.  I have yet to enter the journalling phase - but I love the "feel" and hope to become familiar with it some time in my future.

I stamped and die cut the beautiful three step flowers from Garden Bunch - I only used two steps - purely your choice.  My inks were Hibiscus Burst and Pure Poppy - both from Papertrey Ink.

I designed my card around the "faith" sentiment, using the flowers as a border and adding a few die cut Layered Laurels Confetti Cuts.

I stamped the sentiment onto a die cut from Love Note, and then cut a second one in red and offset the sentiment onto the red to form a slight border.

The cute little scalloped frame is Mama Elephant's Madison Avenue Framed Tags, cut from Papertrey Ink Gold Luxe Foil Patterned Paper.

I finished my creation with some black and white twine and little black baubles….

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Life is short…

Good Sunny Morning and it is FRIDAY!! ….(remember when that was a really big deal?)

Oh my - there are a few crafty challenges floating around the stamping world this week - namely - Reverse Confetti's Sketch For You To Try,  The Color Throwdown #378 and todays Splitcoast Stampers challenge - to make a masculine valentine - done and done.  I am diving right in.

Easy As Pie is a Reverse Confetti stamp set with cutie matching dies and I have been eyeing it for a few months now ---I finally broke down and purchased it woohoo! and it is just as sweet as I imagined it to be.

I'm calling Artistic License on this one - hah!  I just could NOT picture gray pie crusts- so I layered vellum overtop of my patterned paper to create a gray shade (okay? okay.)

I die cut the pie "crust" from kraft cardstock and the pretty pink stripe paper for the "pie tin" is Papertrey Ink's (almost) newest colour Lovely Lady.  Both of the precious hearts are from Love Note Confetti Cuts.

I added lots of "sugar" (glitter) to the pie crusts - men LOVE that, and a shiny red heart sequin on the top.  My pies were layered onto a tag die which was tied with ribbon, twine and an aqua mist button.

Why don't you hop on over to any of these fabulous challenges and give it a go - use your Artistic License!!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop LATE

Good morning! I have a LATE Papertrey Ink Blog Hop post - We are pretty sure that our wi-fi has been hacked, so I am staying off of the internet to see when, where, why and whatever!

But today I really wanted to post my card, albeit late, so that you knew I hadn't fallen off of the face of the earth haha…so it's a quick post!

Papertrey Ink's inspirational photo was gorgeous - as usual - and begged for pinks and blues.

I used the new Flower Favorites stamp set and dies, along with various beautiful PTI inks.   I LOVE that Lupin with Wink of Stella!   I used Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky and Enchanted Evening inks and rocked and rolled the Lupin…..

The sentiment is from Book Club - it was perfect! and how about that teeny bumblebee - so cute!

And another photo, just because….

Thanks for indulging me today with my LATE post!

A Reverse Confetti Thank you!

I received some lovely stamps last week from Reverse Confetti - their latest release!.... so naturally I "needed" to ink them up!

Our family's Thanksgiving was celebrated at our home this year and we had a lovely bag of goodies given to us by our niece - her wonderful canning and some garlic goodies - ALL welcome and enjoyed!  Thank you's are in order - yay!

I used Roundabout (thank you), Roundabout Additions (heart circle) and Class Act for my stamping pleasure :) I used Tropical Teal ink and stamped onto Rustic Cream cardstock.....Love it!

The card was decorated using the NEW Envie Wrap Confetti Cuts and Circles 'n Scallops Confetti Cuts along with the Class Act Confetti Cuts.

I stamped the large dots and large "sequins" all over the envelope, using Papertrey Ink Tropical Teal, Harvest Gold and Canyon Clay inks.

The Envie Wrap Confetti Cuts was die cut and wrapped around the back - where you can stamp again yay! A wonderful spot for your return address!
