Ribbon Support Card

Good Afternoon!

I have a card to show you today that (Honestly) I wish I didn't have to show you.  I have a dear friend who's adult daughter (a teacher/librarian)  is ill with a condition that I can barely understand called
ITP.  Without invading their privacy, let's just say she needs all the support and love her family can give her.

so I wanted to send a card,,,,,,,and I immediately thought of a ribbon card,,,I quickly looked up the ribbon color,,,,,,,,,they have a ribbon color for almost everything today. There was some confusion as to whether it was purple, burgundy, etc,,,,,,,,,so I went with all of it :)

Here's my card,,,,,,,

I just love this ribbon stamp set from Justrite Stamps.  Coloring is quick and easy, and you can make any color you want. And it comes with a variety of ribbons, sentiments and frames.

Here's a close up of the stamp,,,,,,,,

With all my heart,,,,,,,,I hope she's well soon.

I hope you enjoyed the LATE card,,,,,,and I hope you join us at Sugar Creek Hollow for a fun challenge!

Happy Happy Hump Day!!!!!

It's Wednesday, and the week is half over!!!! Frankly, THURSDAY is my favorite day! It's PAY DAY and I get to spend some scrappy $$$,,,,,

but,,,,,,,today is Wednesday,,,,and it's gray and rainy here in central Florida,,,,,,so I'm taking it easy today and making a few cards!

Over on Scrapbook.com, a few of us have gotten together to do a really low pressure Christmas card challenge,,,,,,,,and this week's challenge is to use a die cut AND a stamp,,,,,,

So here's my VERY PINK card LOL. I do not know what i was thinking! it looks like pepto bismol threw up on my card LOL,,,,,,,,,ah well, they can't ALL be wonderful, can they???

I used some leftover MME Lost and Found glitter paper I had over my brown card stock base,,,,,,,,one of my favorite Christmas stamps by inkadinkado, and my Justrite nested Christmas Sentiments to make this card,,,,,,,,

I layered some brown pleated ribbon, white lace and white pearls before cutting the tree with Labels 14. The sentiment was cut out using my custom Justrite Nested dies that go along with the nested sentiments,,, I created the pink satin bow on my bow maker and added an enamel pearl button,,,,,,,,

and she's finished,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and a little TOO pink LOL.

I hope you enjoyed my card, even as pink as it is,,and I hope in some way it gives you a laugh!

Good Morning!

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far :)  My husband and I are planning to go to the movies tonight, which almost NEVER happens, so I am looking forward to that,,,,

But I had a bit of time to craft this morning and decided to play along with the shabby girls at the Shabby Tea Room.

Challenge number 124 is "Oh so pretty in pink",,,,,,,and I couldn't resist! Now for some reason, SHABBY is a tough one for me,,,,I love it so, but just do not seem to have much talent for it. Ah well, practice makes perfect!

Here's the inspiration photo,,,,,,

so cool and refreshing looking after the heat most of the country has been having lately!

They also want us to have a flower on our card,,,,,,,,,,well, I love pink and I love flowers,,,,,so I had a lot of fun!

I got the image at Free Vintage Digi Stamps (button to the right) some time ago,,,,,,and I just KNEW it was perfect for this challenge!  I made the roses from Spellbinders spiral blossom 1 out of coffee filters that I had inked.  The cherry blossom was made with Spellbinders Rose Creations die out of coffee filters, inked, scrunched, dried and stamens added.  The leaves were Spellbinders Foliage, inked pink, and I added some pearls to the Recollections corner bling element to tie in with the pearls added along the lace and pink velvet ribbon. The butterfly bow was created on a wooden bow maker,,,,,,,,,easy peasy!

Here's a close up!

I hope you enjoyed the card!! And thanks for looking!

Vintage Rose!

Good Afternoon!!!! I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday and has great plans for the weekend! DH and I are going to Disney World on Saturday for a few hours after he finishes working,,,,,,,,

I'm looking forward to that! I haven't forgotten about posting some Disney pics,,,,,I just forget every time I pull out the card reader and yank pics into my computer LOL. Making a note to do that now.

So today I have a card that features this GORGEOUS vintage rose digi stamp,,,,Pamela over at Free Vintage Digi Stamps posted it the other day, and I HAD to use it!!!! It's really stunning,,and Pamela is SO generous with her lovely images,,, I just love that it's ready for copics or watercolors!!!!

This card is super simple,,,,,,it's 5.5x5.5 (one of my favorite sizes),,,I colored the image with copics,,,the base is pink,,,,,I layered brown over that 1/4 inch smaller,,,and then this gorgeous light pink French newsprint on the top, and this gorgeous, really shabby chic looking pink stripes on the lower half. My focal point from the bottom up is Fleur de lis pendants, lacey ovals and ovals large,,,,,,,a bit of  lace that has these beautiful roses woven into the decoration, a few gems, a spiral rose on a bow and a stick pin, and it's all ready for my mother's friend, who's quite ill  in the hospital,,,,,,I used to babysit her children when I was a teenager,,,,,They're adults now, and I'm showing my age LOL.

so today,,,,I'm spreading the love (see button on my side bar for information on that movement).

Here's a close up of this stunning image!

You should run right over to Free Vintage Digi Stamps right away, because Pamela has the most gorgeous images,,,,,,,Thank you so much for all of them, Pamela!!!!

Thanks for looking, and have a wonderful weekend!!!!
