Today's card was created for the Fusion Challenge. This challenge give you a photo and a sketch...you may use the sketch or the photo...or "fuse" them together, using both elements!! FUSION!! Today I am using both.
#bethegift challenge: Give up one thing today, anything, for someone else. Live given, love the abundant life.
Update: Such an honor...this card was chosen as an Honorable Mention by the Fusion team!! Thanks!!
This was such a fun card...created it for the As You See It challenge.
The challenge this week was to use all "ingredients" on the "recipe" card. "Ingredients" are as follows....flowers//two cut outs from retired designer papers, punch or die//thank you sentiment die and circle punches, ribbon or twine//hemp, patterned paper//both the flowers and the striped section, something shiney//rhinestones at the center of each flower and two extra offset from two circles. I love how it turned out...especially the sentiment cut through the layers!! I will use that technique again.
#bethegift challenge: Hand out as many compliments as possible today.
Here is my take on the Inspired By challenge....the colors, the letters, the cluster of flowers!! I used two retired sets from Stampin Up...Bloom with Hope and Itty Bitty Banners. I love the way these little blooms look embossed in pink on vellum!!
#bethegift challenge: Give someone the gift today of writing down their name and praying a seeming impossABLE thing for them!
I love combining a sketch challenge and a color challenge! That is what I am doing today...the color combo from the Color Throwdown team and a sketch challenge from the Freshly Made Sketches team. I am using the sentiment from Stampin Up's By the Dock stamp set...looking forward to using the other stamps in this set along with their matching dies. But....for today I just used one of the sentiments from this new set along with the lighthouse and birds from Stampin Up's Sailing Home set.
#bethegift challenge: Candle day...light a candle today! Let your prayers for someone fighting a hard battle be sweet!!
This week's code word for the Addicted to CAS challenge is...BLESSED!! Those people in your life...they are what makes your life blessed!! And I am thankful for each of those individuals. I feel very blessed to have a tribe around me!! Thanks Addicted to CAS for the inspiration!!
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts astonishing...His love for me!! Family!! Our Father's beautiful creation!!
The current Library Challenge is to create a card that is inspired by the book...The Sewing Matching by Natalie Fergie. Just like the last card I made for this challenge I had to pull for the "stitch" part because of not having any sewing machine stamps. So...I did little hand stitching around this shell die. Plus the starfish has a bit of stitching on it!! Good luck to all those of you who are braving the Black Friday shopping!!
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts red...heart emojis//apples//beets (my new favorite item to roast)
Here is another take on the sketch challenge from CAS(E) this Sketch. I love the classy simplistic look of this sketch so much that I created another card using it. Several days ago I created two Christmas cards using this sketch with ribbon from a bouquet of flowers that was delivered to our office...I did it again with the ribbon from last week's arrangement. Each Monday the local florist delivers our office an arrangement for the waiting room...I have taken to repurposing the beautiful bows, and this sketch is perfect for doing that!!
Here is my fourth card for the CASology challenge. We have so much to be thankful for and I have enjoyed creating for this GRATITUDE cue card.
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts at noon...lunch with my hubby, I love that I get to go home each day to have lunch together // Sunshine on my face!! // Mid-day break in the hustle and bustle!!
My second entry for the GRATITUDE cue card from CASology.

3 gifts harvest:
"the fields are ripe for harvest..."
Satsumas from our tree...it is full with fruit right now!!
Harvest time...a time of family gathering!!
I need several thank you cards....So....I was excited to see that CASology's cue card was APPRECIATE!! Be on the look out because my next several cards will be CAS (clean and simple) thank you cards for the CASology challenge.
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts from my window...1st and foremost, My windows!! Why because yesterday and today they are finally installing our new windows!! The cypress pond out our living room window, where we daily get a view of God's handiwork!! Our driveway out our kitchen window, where our friends enter!!
Two challenges rolled into one...that is the deal today!! A color challenge from Paper Players and a sketch challenge from Freshly Made Sketches. While I like how my card turned out in real life, I can't get a good picture of it. I have take 3 photos and changed up the lighting and still my little flowers look black instead of eggplant!! I promise you the small flowers are not black!! This card has not stamping....just die cuts today!!
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts said: I love you!! I'm sorry!! You are right!! Three short little sentences that when said yield big results!!
Fusion time...use just the sketch or use just the photo or use both!! Today I am using both on my card for the Fusion Challenge. This challenge is always a fun one for me and I usually try and meet both elements of the challenge. Thank you Fusion for the inspiration!!
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts empty...our empty nest--I know some couples struggle with an empty nest but my hubby and I are enjoying being just the two of us!! Don't misinterpret--I miss my kids and always look forward to their visits!! Credit Card balance--empty!! One of the best feelings, not carrying a balance!! Dirty clothes hamper--starting off the weekend with it being empty is a gift!!!
I just got Stampin Up's Painted Harvest stamp set...loving it!! My daughter is getting married in September and her flowers/decorations will be sunflowers so I had to get this set and create some party favors. Until I need to get started on those I am playing with it. The Inspired By challenge this week was a perfect place to play with it.
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) 3 gifts in today's work...patient co-workers as I learn a new job//structure//uniform--I love not having to decide what to wear each day!!
I woke up this morning with creating on my mind so here is what you get...my 5:30 creation!! It is for the Color Throwdown challenge to use Gray//Green//Aqua. I decided to use Basic Gray, Tempting Torquoise, and Wild Wasabi from Stampin Up. This color combo right away had me pulling Stampin Up's Lily Pad Lake stamp set off the shelf again.
3 Gifts Challenge: (using Ann Voskamp's 1000 gifts daily prompts) a gift sweet, sour, salty...Sundaes with my honey yesterday!! Lemons!! Popcorn seasoned just right with Lawry's Season Salt!!
