Global Design Project #306 // CAS Colours & Sketches #434 // Just Add Ink #569

 Two cards today...

Card #1 was inspired by 1 challenge...

Global Design Project // #GDP306 ...A sketch challenge!!  This sketch was perfect for a "school" project!!  All "measured" and created with love for one of those teacher heroes that are out there getting things done!

Card # 2 was inspired by 2 challenges...

CAS Colours & Sketches // #433 ...A sketch challenge!!  I like the line up of multiple words called for in this sketch. I decided rather than repeat the same word over and over I would use a quote.  I may just be back with a second card that uses a repeated sentient.

Just Add Ink // #JAI569 ...A letter challenge!!  For this current challenge we are to add the letter "N".  Nautical is my added "N".  I kept this card very CAS...clean and simple!!

 VERSE OF THE DAY

For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

Matthew 7:8 (NLT)

Twofer Challenge // Circles & Bubbles

Nothing like waiting until the last day!!! I got all out of schedule while my daughter and son-in-law were here for a week...almost missed out on this fun challenge.  Anyway...here is my take on The Twofer Challenge  to make a card using bubbles & circles.  I am using the "bubbles" from Seaside Notes and the single circle stamp from Lily Pad Lake.  I also used the "sea grass" die from the Sailing Home bundle.  All three of these sets are from Stampin Up.

#bethegift challenge:  Send a note of kindness to someone today that thinks vastly different than you.  Love "the other"!!

The Card Concept Challenge & Library Challenge

The Card Concept challenge wanted to see one of our favorite creations....I love anything nautical!!  So this card fit their challenge!  I used Stampin Up's Sailing Home stamp set and matching the dies.  The designer paper is also from Stampin Up but has been retired.  It was some of that paper that you loved so much you couldn't bring yourself to use it!! Crazy I know!!  This card was also made for the Library Challenge...the book...The Art of Stripes. The title being the inspiration!!

#bethegift challenge:  Tell three people that you believe in fresh new hope and change for them this year.

Paper Craft Crew Challenge #363 & Library Challenge #49 & Time Out #151

I love this sketch...all the layers, the pieces and parts!!  Super fun!!  Thanks to Paper Craft Crew for the inspiration!!  I used Stampin Up's Stitiched Shapes dies and the Sailing home stamp set and matching dies for today's card. This card its also being entered in the Library Challenge for the book, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Wolfe.  The sentiment on this card also makes it fits with the Time Out Challenge--use the quote from CS Lewis as your inspiration, "You are never to old to set another goal or dream a new dream".

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts anticipated...A new decade-2020!! Grandkids-a mom can dream!! Sale of Cabin Creekwood-may 2020 be the year!!

Fab Friday Challenge #179

Merry Christmas!!  I hope today has been special for each one of you.  Our daughter and her husband arrived today and we got to FaceTime with our son twice today....good day!!  

I created this card for the Fab Friday challenge using Stampin Up's Sailing home stamp set and matching dies. 

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts)  3 gifts of Luke 2...Shepherds--they searched and they found!!  Mary & Joseph--odedient even when faced with what others would think!!  Baby Jesus--He gave up heaven for earth--for you and for me!!

Paper Craft Crew Challenge #356

Another fun sketch from the Paper Craft Crew challenge.  I'm using the light house (cut out with the matching die) as one of the rectangle layers called for in this sketch.  I guess I could have layered it on a rectangle but I really liked the cut out look.  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts in Christ...Salvation!! Grace!! Unconditional Love!!

I am back!!!

Wow!! It has almost been a month since I have created and posted!!  I just got in a funk and had no creative juices flowing.  But this morning I decided it was time to start creating again.  So...here is my take on the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch.  I am using the anchor stamp and matching die from Stampin Up's Sailing Home set.  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts)  Gift of rhyme, rhythm, and reason...rhyme//a sweet poem a friend wrote about his daughters up coming marriage--sweetest ever!! rhythm//the Lauren Daigle concert that my hubby and I got to attend!! reason//Jesus not just the reason for the season but for all of life!!

Sailing on the Deep Blue Sea

Sailing Home stamp set from Stampin Up is becoming a favorite of mine....perfect set for this Florida girl.  Here I am using it for the Sunday Stamps sketch challenge.  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts smelled...freshly brewed coffee each morning//flowers delivered to the office every Monday morning//salty beach air

You Are My True North

Again today I am combining two challenges...The Library Challenge (use the cover, title, or story of the chosen book to inspire your creation) and the Inspired By Challenge.  I pulled the lighthouse from the Library challenge and the copper from the Inspire By challenge.


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts painted...glass painting done by my father as a teenager passed on to our son when he moved into his apartment//snowman winter wonder land picture my daughter did when she was 5...it still comes out every Christmas//the B. Buckly Moss handing in our bedroom that was gifted to us by our church in VA when we moved...precious to me!!

Sailing Home//Color Challenge//Summer

SUMMER was the theme challenge for Paper Players...the colors from the Color Throwdown challenge fit perfect for a summer theme (Navy, Coral, Teal and Cream).  So...I am using both challenges for today's card.  Once a gain Stampin Up's new Sailing Home stamp set and matching dies was perfect for today's creation.  

3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts in what you are reading...YouVersion devotional that I am reading with my sister...this is a special daily connection we have over the miles//My Kindle book...my unwind activity at the end of each day//prompt scripts for my new job...I am so thankful for my new job, there may be a huge learning curve but I am loving it!!

Sailing Home is now available....

This awesome stamp set and matching dies....Sailing Home....is now available from Stampin Up's new catalog!!  Living in Florida made this new set a must have for me!  Today's card was inspired by the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch. It may not look like the sketch at first glance, but if you study the card you will see where each element is.  


3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts)3 gifts orange...a sunrise...the beginning of a new day!!  // a sunset...the close of another day!!  // the fruit...refreshing on a hot summer day!!
