Dare to Dream - CASE

Greetings!

My daughter absolutely loves this card.  She’s getting to where she likes anything that’s distressed that looks vintage-y.  She used to give me a hard time about all the “old lady cards” I make.  I’m not sure what changed her mind, but we’ve gotten quite close lately and I think she is appreciating the amount of time and effort I put into the cards I create.  This card was CASE'd from Selene Kempton.  I ran across her version on Pinterest.  I'm glad I found it. 

This was created using SU!’s Loving Thoughts stamp set and a multitude of Framelits and edgelits.

Thank You Cousin

Greetings!
This card is dedicated to my smart and beautiful cousin, Lisa who, helped me a great deal more than she may know.  Thank you for being you!  You always seem to have the best timing!  (take note the large butterfly image chalked in by stencil in the middle of the card.)  The image is colored using my Stampin' Pastels.

Happiest

My daughter Chelsey inspired this card.  I had a hard time finding my Mojo, so I asked her to pick several colors and a few different stamp sets.  She has a really good eye, I’m very pleased with how her card turned out!  I can already feel my Mojo waking up and stirring!

Vintage Fun with Strength & Hope and Embossing

Having fun playing Vintage with new paper & stamps!  ;)

These two cards were inspired by Sandi Maciver.  She is another one of my favorite paper crafting Guru's.  The lady knows her paper AND she's funny.  You should read her posts, she is constantly cracking herself up!  Just adds to her charm.  She is also an Oregonian!  Go Oregon!

So, here are the two vintage cards I created.  One is done in Cherry Cobbler & Crumb Cake (both sound yummy don't they?!) and the other one is Baja Breeze & Crumb Cake. 

I hope you enjoy!

Hope you enjoy!

Things are not yet resolved.  Please continue to pray for my family and I.  If you are not familiar with the story, please catch up here.

Here is a feminine card I worked on last night.  I actually didn't know what kind of card it was going to be until I had it decorated and I was looking for a sentiment that I felt would fit well.  It just so happened it was a small circle that I could use with my Hodgepodge hardware.

A lot of items were used on this card, though I was trying to make it not look too busy.

Stamp Sets Used:  Baby Blossoms and Hodgepodge Happiness
Cardstock used:  Rich Razzleberry, Pink Pirouette, Designer Paper, and Certainly Celery
Ink Used:Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzaz, Blushing Bride, Rose Red
Other Ites used:  Stamp-a-ma-jig, seam binding, HodgePodge Hardware, Brads, Dimensionals
