A Fishy Happy Birthday

all! Who is happy it is Saturday? I am! We are supposed to get some snow today but the last time they said that we got none, zip, zero, zilch. I wouldn't mind a little bit, of course I don't have to shovel it so maybe I should just be quiet, huh? LOL!

Today's card is a birthday card that I made for a friend of ours. Papa Al loves to fish so it is a no brainer to make a card of some sort with a fish on it. I tried to make the image look like a salmon but I had a hard time with it this year. Anyway, this image is from Designed2Delight, whose images I love. The paper is from a Taylored Expressions key ingredient kit and the fishing hooks are from my garage and were quite painful to my fingers trying to get them to stay down. LOL! This card layout is again one of Carly's Sketches (have you checked them out yet?).

Alright, I have tons of crafting to get done this weekend so I can get gifts in the mail on Monday. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you tomorrow for my Sunday share!

Here is a wonderful verse for you today. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Romans 12:12 How might this verse apply to your life today or even this week?

Peace

Good morning friends! We've arrived at the beginning of another week. Can you believe that October 1st is on Friday? Crazy!

So, last week you saw the card I made with the Designed2Delight digi image called Scaredy Cat, right? Well, when I participated in that little challenge I automatically got this week's digi stamp for free! This isn't just a stamp this week though. It is a full set with two images and two sentiments and they are just lovely! This set was made as a sympathy set but I do believe that it could be used to make "I'm praying for you" cards as well. You can see all of the images as well as sentiments at the link above.

Now, real quick. I used some new SEI papers that I got a couple of weeks ago called Dill Blossom. The Dill Blossom paper pack has several color themes in it and I just chose this one as I thought the colors were soothing. I also used this weeks sketch from The Sweet Stop for this card.

Alright, so...tomorrow's challenge for the Going Grey with Scrap-Creations challenge is going to be fun! I hope you'll check back to see what that is all about!

Scaredy Cat

Good morning friends! This week has just been a super busy week and I've had little to no time to be in my stamp room...dang it! So frustrating but I hope to get back in there tonight or tomorrow for sure!

This card is made with the Designed2Delight digital stamps image of the week, Scaredy Cat. If you make a card with the image and post/link it up by tonight at 11:59 pm you automatically will receive the next weeks digi image sent to you via e-mail. Pretty cool, huh?

If you look close enough you can see that I used some glaze pen on the cats nose as well as in the eyes, nose, and mouth of the pumpkin. What is surprising to me is that I'm actually having fun making Halloween cards this year. I'm trying hard not to use images that may be scary or "evil" and it is great to find lots of them out there (just check back tomorrow or Saturday to see another one)!

Anyway, there is the card. Sorry for the bad picture...we have been cloudy when I've wanted to take the photo recently.

Have a wonderful day!
